| DODD | Apr 21, 2013 | Sue Ramger sueramger@charter.net |
| My name is Sue Ramger and I am looking for information about my great-grandfather. His name was James C. Dodd. He was born in Chatham County in October 10, 1820. I’m really looking for his parents. I sure that they had to be in Chatham County at the time of his birth. They were born in Virginia. I will appreciate any help that I can receive. He lived in Cabarrus County and I’ve looked in Cabarrus County Courthouse for deeds or wills, but only found his name in the 1850 census. He died in Monroe County, TN October 3, 1890. | ||

| I am searching for parents of Zaney Horton, 1804-1882. She is buried at Bells Baptist Church and was married to Joel Horton (1796-?). Her children were Sara (married Willis Richard Markham), Jessie H (married Mary Jane Wilson), and Mary Emeline (married Sidney Eubanks who are also buried at Bells). What info I have points to her being a Poe before marriage, but I cannot find any type of confirmation on that. | ||
