Enter a personal reminiscence or story.Liane SmithThanks first to M. Lechner for adding this wonderful vignette. And thank to Barb Dodge for writing it. Richard and Edith were two of my 10th great grandparents. There were so many intermarriages between these early families. My tree is a tangled mass of lines connecting them.posted 20 Nov 2020 by Liane Smith [thank Liane]M LechnerRichard Dodge
Years of rule by Charles I. No parliament! More taxes! Less religious liberty! War looming on the horizon. There were all kinds of signs that showed that things were not as they ought to be. Increasing anger against King Charles I. Unrest of the citizenry. Brother William was doing very well in the colonies. He had his own farm, and he had a good standing in the community. He could worship as he chose. He didn't need to worry about displeasing a King. He could do as he wished. He was FREE! Richard was married and had several children. He would need to give up his land tenancy. It would be no easy undertaking for him to transport his family to the colonies. He was leaving at least one little child in an English graveyard. Would his wife be willing to pull up roots, leave her family and travel to this strange foreign land? He would be leaving his father and brother, Michael, behind. How would he be able to leave England when King Charles was obstructing immigration. If he left, it would probably have to be without royal permission. There were many problems to work out before he could undertake such a voyage. I am sure that he gave much thought of all of these things. In the end, he decided it was worth it to try to leave his homeland. Richard and his family arrived in Salem in 1638. Immigrants were only admitted to the colony, by applying to the town and obtaining leave.He and his family moved on to the land of his brother, William until he could get established. After awhile he was able to settle with his family on "Dodge Row" in North Beverly, not far from Wenham Lake. He built a home and gave his attention to farming but he held in high esteem the value of education. In 1653, he was the biggest contributor to Harvard College. He gave a piece of his land for a burying ground which is now known as "the Cemetery on Dodges Row". He had 5 sons, and so he has more descendants than William who had 2 sons. by Barb Dodge

Date given in the narrative for the marriage is 5 May 1628, but FreeReg index has the date transcribed as 5 July 1628. This looks like it might be transcription variance about a month numbered "5."

edited 9 days ago by GeneJ X Jen (Stevens) HuttonGene, the ancestry link is to an image of the page in the record book. It is the entry at the very top of the page, and the corner where the date appears is rather crumpled so it is difficult to read. It does look like the first letter of the month is an "M" (but that also looks as though it may have been partially erased), and there definitely seems to be an "l" before the final letter "y." Sorry this is not more helpful....I would not have believed until now that "May" and "July" could look so similar.posted 9 days ago by Jen (Stevens) Hutton Christopher ChildsFreereg.org.uk transcribes the date as "05 July 1628" -- see https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_queries/61535dd7791e3bf636912273?locale=en; click on "View 1" for further details -- and their transcribers are generally experienced and careful. I'd go with that, esp. given Jen's note that there appears to be an "l" before the "y" in the image of the original.posted 9 days ago by Christopher ChildsGeneJ XIf there are no objections, I plan to work on this profile a little bit. Specifically, I plan to update the biography so that Cutter is not the principal reference.
Likewise, I will work to address the profile comments in this process.
posted 19 days ago by GeneJ XKen McKay JrI am curious as pointed out in this Wiki that it states that Richard Dodge is not buried here where to the contrary in the establishing this land as a burying ground by Jonathan, Edward and Mark Dodge Grandchildren of Richard Dodge state that : Our Honoured Grandfather Richard Dodge late of said Beverly Deceased did in his lifetime, Set apart & appoint a certain piece of land lying in said Beverly for a Burying place for himself & posterity. in the Vital records prior to 1850 for Beverly it lists Richard Dodge June 15, 1671 with no graveyard listed for a burial place. I surmise that in the records it was not recorded at the time of his death of one of the four recognized burial grounds because it was a family plot at the time prior to it being established as an official burial ground. In my opinion Richard Dodge is buried in Dodges Row. I have started restoring the headstones in the cemetery and hope that within a couple of years we will have the ability to sled the whole area with a GPR and find the unknown burials as well as the headstones that were documented by Wellington Pool in 1882. I have already found a few missing stones that had been previously documented but lost with time. If anyone has any questions about the work being done you can email me at [email address removed]

=======================
John Dodge and his wife Margery had in Somersetshire, England:
1- William came to Salem in 1629; d. between 1685 and 1692. A deposition of William Dodge, made in Feb, 1678-9, says, "aged about 70 years".

Baptismal Record Transcription Issues. An array of English records have been identified Richard and Edith's family. There are a few variances between the record information and that which was pubished by Ferris in 1931.

Enter a personal reminiscence or story.Liane SmithThanks first to M. Lechner for adding this wonderful vignette. And thank to Barb Dodge for writing it. Richard and Edith were two of my 10th great grandparents. There were so many intermarriages between these early families. My tree is a tangled mass of lines connecting them.posted 20 Nov 2020 by Liane Smith [thank Liane]M LechnerRichard Dodge
Years of rule by Charles I. No parliament! More taxes! Less religious liberty! War looming on the horizon. There were all kinds of signs that showed that things were not as they ought to be. Increasing anger against King Charles I. Unrest of the citizenry. Brother William was doing very well in the colonies. He had his own farm, and he had a good standing in the community. He could worship as he chose. He didn't need to worry about displeasing a King. He could do as he wished. He was FREE! Richard was married and had several children. He would need to give up his land tenancy. It would be no easy undertaking for him to transport his family to the colonies. He was leaving at least one little child in an English graveyard. Would his wife be willing to pull up roots, leave her family and travel to this strange foreign land? He would be leaving his father and brother, Michael, behind. How would he be able to leave England when King Charles was obstructing immigration. If he left, it would probably have to be without royal permission. There were many problems to work out before he could undertake such a voyage. I am sure that he gave much thought of all of these things. In the end, he decided it was worth it to try to leave his homeland. Richard and his family arrived in Salem in 1638. Immigrants were only admitted to the colony, by applying to the town and obtaining leave.He and his family moved on to the land of his brother, William until he could get established. After awhile he was able to settle with his family on "Dodge Row" in North Beverly, not far from Wenham Lake. He built a home and gave his attention to farming but he held in high esteem the value of education. In 1653, he was the biggest contributor to Harvard College. He gave a piece of his land for a burying ground which is now known as "the Cemetery on Dodges Row". He had 5 sons, and so he has more descendants than William who had 2 sons. by Barb Dodge

Date given in the narrative for the marriage is 5 May 1628, but FreeReg index has the date transcribed as 5 July 1628. This looks like it might be transcription variance about a month numbered "5."

edited 9 days ago by GeneJ X Jen (Stevens) HuttonGene, the ancestry link is to an image of the page in the record book. It is the entry at the very top of the page, and the corner where the date appears is rather crumpled so it is difficult to read. It does look like the first letter of the month is an "M" (but that also looks as though it may have been partially erased), and there definitely seems to be an "l" before the final letter "y." Sorry this is not more helpful....I would not have believed until now that "May" and "July" could look so similar.posted 9 days ago by Jen (Stevens) Hutton Christopher ChildsFreereg.org.uk transcribes the date as "05 July 1628" -- see https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_queries/61535dd7791e3bf636912273?locale=en; click on "View 1" for further details -- and their transcribers are generally experienced and careful. I'd go with that, esp. given Jen's note that there appears to be an "l" before the "y" in the image of the original.posted 9 days ago by Christopher ChildsGeneJ XIf there are no objections, I plan to work on this profile a little bit. Specifically, I plan to update the biography so that Cutter is not the principal reference.
Likewise, I will work to address the profile comments in this process.
posted 19 days ago by GeneJ XKen McKay JrI am curious as pointed out in this Wiki that it states that Richard Dodge is not buried here where to the contrary in the establishing this land as a burying ground by Jonathan, Edward and Mark Dodge Grandchildren of Richard Dodge state that : Our Honoured Grandfather Richard Dodge late of said Beverly Deceased did in his lifetime, Set apart & appoint a certain piece of land lying in said Beverly for a Burying place for himself & posterity. in the Vital records prior to 1850 for Beverly it lists Richard Dodge June 15, 1671 with no graveyard listed for a burial place. I surmise that in the records it was not recorded at the time of his death of one of the four recognized burial grounds because it was a family plot at the time prior to it being established as an official burial ground. In my opinion Richard Dodge is buried in Dodges Row. I have started restoring the headstones in the cemetery and hope that within a couple of years we will have the ability to sled the whole area with a GPR and find the unknown burials as well as the headstones that were documented by Wellington Pool in 1882. I have already found a few missing stones that had been previously documented but lost with time. If anyone has any questions about the work being done you can email me at [email address removed]

Son of John and Margery Dodge born between 1600 and 1602; Married in England to Edith (maiden name uncertain, but may be Brayne - see her tribute on her name questions); Some of their children were born in England before the couple immigrated to America's Massachusetts Bay Colony.
They received an 80 acre land grant disposed by the village of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts in the area adjacent to Beverly, Essex County, Massachusetts in 1638;
He was a farmer as were many in that inland area away from the Salem waterfront and village.
As an original Dodge owner of the land which became "Dodges Row Cemetery," this family cemetery is on Dodge family land of his lifetime, although his burial site is not here. A headstone tribute was placed for him in 1962.
