Individual Details
Abraham Dodson
(4 Apr 1723 - Bef 25 Oct 1768)
[Only Mary, Abraham, Joshua, and Elisha's births appear to be recorded in the North Farnham Parish records and there's 8 years between Mary and Abraham. I would suspect some of the records were not recorded in the ensuing years and some of the other children were born in the years between 1715 and 1723.]
Abraham and Barbary Dodson were baptized into the Broad Run Church 4 Dec 1762. Abraham died while a member of this congregation. Barbary was censored in Jun of 1775, no details given. Abraham must have thought about going to Halifax with other members of the family as an old grant book in Pittsylvania shows a survey on Birch Creek on 10 Mar 1766. Abraham Dodson & William Stamps were two of the trustees of the Broad Run Church in 1768 and received one acre from Jacob Hays & wife Katherine, apparently for the site of the Church.
Abraham's will dated 17 Jun 1767 and was proved 25 Oct 1768, Fauquier County Virginia; Will Book 1, p.10. Names wife Barbary, dau Milly Holtzclaw, sons Joseph, Enoch, Greenham. Exectors: Wife and Jacob Holtzclaw.
Milly Holtzclaw's husband Jacob was a brother to Kay Haden's 5th great grandmother, Winifred Holtzclaw.
