Until more definate proof can be found, we can only suggest that the Lambeth Dodson discussed hear is the son of the elder Lambeth Dodson of early Richmond Co VA though his name makes it reasonable conjecture. We may in some instance be confusing the records of the two Lambeth Dodson. On 1 Dec 1779, a patent was issued to Lambeth Dodson for 200 acres in Henry Co VA. Some early tythe lists for Henry Co 1778-1780 show Lambeth as a resident there. He is listed spradically during the years 1783-1789 on tax lists. Is is possible that Lambeth died about 1787/88 when his name disappears from the tax list. On 10 Feb 1787 a deed is recorded which says "Lamboth Dodson Jr and Elizabeth, his wife, to John Hutchings, 50 acres in Henry Co." There is no doubt that Lambeth Dodson, Jr lived in VA on the North Carolina State line. His descendants lived in later years over the line from Patrick and Henry Counties in the North Carolina counties of Stokes and Rockingham. There is no marriage records or estate settlements for the several Lambeth Dodson. The name of Elizabeth is the only wife's name found in records, and we are not sure which Lambert she was married to.
The records of this Lambeth Dodson are difficult to separate from those of his father. He appears to have had a wife about whom there is no other information except that she lived to an advanced age. The data of Mrs Lucius McConnell gives the information that her name was Hannah Witt b c1747/48, d after 1850 at age 103 in Lawrence Co Indiana. Lambeth was probably dead by 1814 when his heirs sold his land in Henry Co VA.
