Hello I am also descendant of Charles Dodson. I have new information that the people claiming that Benjamin Dodson came over on a ship with Captain William Peirce are Worng! Thru my reading of the document in question, containing the “proof” that Benjamin came over on a ship, and not born in Jamestown. I found that the evidence is false, and the amateur historian who did the work, spread the lies around the internet very forcefully. Turns out she ks wrong. Carolyn J Wilder is and was wrong about Benjamin Dodson. Close examination of the document showes she misread the document, blending the first name of Benjamin Webber, with the last name of John Dodson.
