Hello

My grandmother told me I was related to the John Dodd who married Jane Chief Eagle Plume’s daughter. Her mother was Agnes Elizabeth Dodd. Her grandmother was Paulina and her grandfather Samuel Dodd. She was born in Natural Bridge Station Virginia. Her father’s side is full blooded Cherokee. I would love to hear more from you ... I do not know anything further about her Dodd line and am having difficulty finding info. If you have a family tree, would you share it.

Welcome to FR. I see you signed up probably from a search for Dodd but please stay and visit here. It’s fun but addicting!

Sorry, I haven’t really worked on the family stuff for years and it’s all packed away but there’s a dozen lineages of them on line. A word of advice, don’t believe anything on line until you get your hands on the original records and verify it yourself. People lie and make up junk and others come along and take it for the truth. The LDS branch libraries are as unreliable as the internet since there’s not checks and balances but use them as hints of where to start. The best place, without access to original documents, is the DAR books which most any large library will have.

I’d also question how a full blood Cherokee would come from English ancestry or be in that part of the country at the time.
