Only by strong and (very early) inference.  My earliest confirmed Dodson ancestor just "showed up" in Talbot County, Maryland ~ 1720.

I have had two male Dodson descendants deeply YDNA tested (BigY 700 at FTDNA).  Their haplogroup emerged in Ireland c. 900 AD.  So we are dealing with a gap of ~ 800 years.   This was certainly before the widespread usage of surnames...

Then the next question is: Did they remain in Ireland in the intervening years or go to Scotland or England or...?

We may never know until the "next life" though it would certainly be nice to know now.

Hello Anne:

This is Fred Claussen in California.  I am contacting you because of your posting about John SCHOLES and Elizabeth DODSON of Mountain Hill by Newbliss.  Would you possibly have more information about these Dodsons?  My now deceased mum was Dodson by birth.  I have recently found a DNA connection to someone from Clones making me think that Elizabeth Dodson might have been of the same family as mine.

Thanks,

Fred Claussen

Hi Jean:

Thanks very much for the reply and the information you sent.

I will continue to pursue other avenues for my Croppers.  l have a strong hint that my branch of the Croppers might have originated in the Rochdale area but have not been able to prove it yet.  Stephen only lived in Southport for the last ~2 years of his life.  His second wife, Marth Finnell Cropper, also lived there (in Birkdale) until her death in 1876.

BTW:  I agree with you completely that Stephen was a very un-common name for a Cropper in the early-mid nineteenth centruy.  I have not yet found another occurrence.

Hi Impy:

I am interested in your input about Richard and Alice Cropper whose son, Thomas, was born in 1804.

Do you possibly know Alice's maiden name?

Also, is the occupation of Richard noted on this baptism record? 

The reason I am interested is that my gr-gr grandfather was Stephen Cropper.  He was the son of Richard Cropper, hatter, and Alice (maiden name unknown but could be Blackwall).  Stephen was born in Southwark, Surrey in late 1807.  He died in 1865 and is buried in the churchyard at St.  Marie on the Sands in Southport.

Any help you can give me would be great!
