In Reply to: Re: Charles Dodson Sr.'s pars by Velda Ruth of 1782Charles Dodson, Sr. Two Dodsons lived on the Northern Neck prior to Charles birth: Gervase,left his property to his widow, Isabel... and Thomas the probable father of Charles, Sr. Charles was born around 1649; hence Thomas born around 1629. Thomas' father would have been born around 1609...
John Dods was(Jessie's)father... and his mother was Jane EaglePlum, daughter of Chief Eagleplum, an Iroquois savage. Capt. John Smith encountered seven foot tall Iroqois and traded sons...one John Dods... who (I speculate)at the age of 20 years moved-in with the Iroquois. Years later: He turned-up in Charles City with his Iroquois wife... children... if born in the wilderness, would not have been baptized. Their sons
William and Jesse, resided in the wilderness with their mother's family which could account for the family's early emergence on the Northern Neck;Jesse married Judith Hagger= two sons: Thomas (born about 1629) and Gervase; Thomas married the daughter of Uncle William and they produced our sons (including Charles, Sr. who married Ann Elmore). Where there's smoke, there's fire.... Anyone have a better idea?

In Reply to: Charles Dodson Sr.'s pars by Mike Williams of 2181Charles Dodson Sr. was born 1649, in Probably, Rappahannock Co., Va. married to Anne Elmore he died 6 Feb 1705, in Rappahannock Co., Va. His parents was Jessie
Dodson and Judith Hagger. Jessie Dodson's Father was John Dods, who came over from England with Capt. John Smith.July 8, Charles Dodson (3) leased land in Old Rappahannock Co. Rappahannock Co became extinct in 1692 being divided into Essex and Richmond counties. Charles Dodson owned land in both bounties, but resided in North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co., Va.
From 1680 to 1692 Charles Dodson acquired land which he and his sons proceeded to improved Chalres Dodson is found in many documents where he witnessed various
documents and on several occasions he is named in Wills as executor. In a Will of John Lincoln dictated Dec 18, 1686, the comment was made in the affidavit of witnesses that the maker of the Will "would have no other but Charles Dodson as his executor although several insisted that he have his wife."During Charles Dodson's lifetime, he saw many new immigrants arriving in Virginia from England. By 1700 there were more than 80,000 person living in the
tidewater region of Virginia.On July 8, Charles Dodson leased land in Old Rappahannock County.Rappahannock Co. became extinct in 1692 being divided into Essex and Richmond
counties. Charles Dodson owned land in both counties but resided in North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co., Va. where he became a large land owner.I do have a lot more of information on the Dodsons. If you email me I can help you. I do have doc. on this information. Email me at Jonelle43@yahoo.com

From LeeVerne de Place, Sept. 1971
THE ROSE FAMILY
(I don't know who wrote this history, but is was sent me by a descendant ofThomas Stamps and John Rose.)
My interest in the Rose family is due to the fact that my ancestor, Thomas Stamps, of Fauquier County, Virginia, married Mary Rose, daughter of John Rose.
John Rose. Married Mary Blackerby, widow of James Blackerby. By her first husband she had a son, James Blackerby. (Also a daughter who evidently married man named Davis -- see will. LVdP).
Issue:
1. Mary Rose. Married Thomas Stamps, of Fauquier County.
2. Elizabeth Rose. Married Thomas Dodson.John Rose had no sons.
At least eleven Rose immigrants settled in Virginia between 1636 to 1655. It is possible that our John Rose was not born in Virginia, but was himself an immigrant from England, arriving in Virginia the latter part of the
seventeenth century. It is thought that he could have been born in Virginia, the son of David Rose who in 1656 was a witness to the sale of 200 acres of land on the south side of the Rappahannock River, but again, no proof.Crozier states that the Virginia Roses did not have a coat-of-arms.
Northumberland County was formed in 1648; Lancaster County in 1652; Richmond County in 1692. These three counties are grouped north of the Rapphannock at the southeast end of the peninsula between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers and are known as the northern Neck of Virginia. In early record many families are identified in all three of these counties and when they began moving from the tidewater it was usually up the peninsula toward Fauquier County.
The earliest record that we have of our John Rose is that in 1701 in Northumberland County when he and his wife, Mary Rose, witnessed the will of James Wildey (Editor's Note: Documents available). Rose is mentioned in a number of land purchases and finally we have his will dated November 18, 1742 wherein he names James Blackerby, his wife's son by her first marriage; and Joseph Davis, his wife's grandson. His daughters Mary Stamps and Elizabeth Dodson and his beloved wife Mary Rose.
On March 12, 1736 John Rose of Wicomico, Northumberland County, purchased 200 acres out of an original grant of 800 acres for 4629 pounds of tobacco and six pounds currant money of Virginia. The land was partly in Northumberland, part in Richmond and bordered lands of Robert Boyd, Charels Fallin, Captain Richard Span, Winnifred Warrick, Graves Eves, Gilbert Croswell, James Blackerby, his stepson, and Merryman Payne, one boundary running on the south side of a branch issuing out of Merattico. The deed was attested by Turf and Twigg and the original deed is in possession of the Shackleford family of Seattle, Washington.
Also attached hereto is a copy of a deed from (it wasn't LVdP) John Hill, dated, March 2, 1719, conveying land situated in Farnum (sic) Parish in Richmond County to John Rose. He paid John Hill 1500 pounds of tobacco for the land. John Hill was husband to Ann Dodson, widow of the first Dodson in America - Charles Dodson. She was the grandmother of Thomas Dodson who married Elizabeth Rose, daughter of John rose.
Attached hereto is a copy of the will of John Rose dated November 11, 1742. When it was offered for probate, John Rose lived in Wicomico Parish, Northumberland County. The original will is in possession of the Shackleford family of Seattle, Washington. They also have the original will of Thomas Stamps and also his revoked will.
The executors of John Rose's will were Mary, his widow, his sons-in-law Thomas Stamps and Thomas Dodson. Witnesses were William Stonum and Eleanor Chapman. The will gave to his wife's son James Blackerby three sheep, her grandson Joseph Davis seven sheep; his lands, negroes, stock, etc., to Mary Stamps and Elizabeth Dodson equally, but the entire estate to his wife during her natural life or widowhood.
Will of John Rose of Wicomico Parish, Northumberland County, Virgina
In the name of God, Amen, I, John Rose, of Weiomore Parish and County of Northumberland, being weak of age, but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be to Almighty God for it, calling to mind the mortality of my body, knowing that it is appd for all men once to die, do make ordain this my last will and testament, that is to say, principally and first of all, I recommend my Soul unto the hands of Almighty God that gave it to me and as for my body I recommend it to the Earth, to be buried in a Christian like and decent manner, at the discretion of my executors hereafter mentioned, nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the Might power of God, and as for such worldly estate as it hath pleased Almighty God to bless me with in the world I give as follows:
Imprimes, I give to James Blackerby my wife's son three sheep.
Item, I give to Joseph Davis my wife's grandson seven sheep and as for the rest of my personal estate, such as my lands, negroes, stocks and all other tenements I give to my two daughters, viz: Mary Stamps and Elizabeth Dodson and their heirever, to be equally divided between the two, and it is my will that my land shant be sold as long as the wars continue.
Item, I leave the rest of my estate to my loving wife Mary Rose during her widowhood or natural life.
Item, I constitute, make, appoint and ordain my loving wife Mary Rose, Thomas Stamps, Thomas Dodson and William Thomas Sr. to be my sole executors of this my last will and testament, wills and legacies, bequests executed to me anyways befors time named, willed and bequeathed, ratifying and confirming this and no other to be my last will and testament.
In witness whereunto I set my hand and seal this 18th day of November in the year our Lord God 1742.
