Subject: seeking DODD kin photos From: Anne Crocker Date: June 11, 2000 Sorry if some of you also subscribe to several lists. My SC lines are DODDs from the William and Catherine the Quaker clan. That includes marriages to GORE, NORMAN, FOSTER, HEMPERLEY, POWELL, LANGSTON, WORD, BOBO, and obviously many other families, since these DODDs came to Union/Laurens/Spartanburg area by 1767/70 from VA. Many moved on into Pickens/Pendleton, SC, and GA beginning in late 1820s-30s. I'm looking for old photos of these DODD kin. I have copies of pics (dates approximate today) of Thompson (Jesse II, Jesse, William the Quaker) DODD, 1805-1889; wife Nancy (Edward, Jesse, William the Quaker) B. DODD DODD, 1815-1890s; John (Edward "Neddie", Thomas, William the Quaker) Sample DODD, 1808-1880s; James Thompson (John S, Neddie, Thomas, William t. Q) DODD, 1830s-1900. And children of James Thompson, some of Thompson's children.... Most of these photos are made around 1870s, when these ggggrandparents were white headed and sunken jawed. Or post Civil war era when beards were in style. However, the bone structure is quite clear, except for those pics with the full beards. I have none, however, of John Sample's wife Elizabeth WORD DODD nor of his father Neddie and 2nd wife Jane WORD DODD, all of whom lived into the age of common photographs. Neddie's 1st wife Jane (Jechonias I, etc.) LANGSTON died before photography but her brother Asa LANGSTON lived long and also married a Sarah DODD, sister of Neddie. James Thompson's 1st wife died before the civil war, was a HEMPERLEY From a FOSTER with a POWELL ancestor, whose several brothers and sisters also married into DODD lines. There must be photos somewhere of some of these families. These older DODDs pics that I have show 2 extremely different head types--one with high squarish forehead, high cheekbones, long nose, and long squarish jaw, big ears sometimes sticking out--sort of Abe Lincoln gaunt profile--really stereotypical of frontiersmen! Thompson DODD, s/o Jesse and uncertain mother, exemplifies this type as did my grandfather Odis (John Mart, James Thompson, John Sample, Neddie, Thomas, William t. Q.) DODD. The other shows a roundish or oval head with soft features and apple cheeks. That describes Nancy B. (Edward, Jesse, William) and John Sample (Neddie, Thomas, William t. Q.). Both types have a high hairline and tend to snow white hair at a fairly young age. Even my two nephews show these two types. I would love to hear from others who have pre 1900 pictures from this clan. Anne Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
