seeking DODD kin photos - Anne Crocker
Subject: seeking DODD kin photos

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.
