ANTHONY DODDS, HARRISON CO., INDIANA
Anthony DODDS died about Sep 1846. Adam D. DODDS, a son, was appointed Administrator. Anthony DODDS married Eleanor DOUGLAS. She was born 17 Jun 1770 and died 15 Oct 1822. Eleanor was the daughter of James and Eleanor DOUGLAS. Both Anthony and Eleanor are buried in Kings Cemerery, southeast of Laconia, Harrison Co., Indiana. Eleanor DOUGLAS DODDS grave is marked but there is no headstone at the grave of Anthony DODDS. Many of the children and decendants of Anthony and Eleanor DOUGLAS DODDS are around them here.
On December 16, 1817 Edward STOKOE, a Brother-in-Law, who had married Eleanor's sister, Elizabeth, deeded to Anthony DODDS the southwest quarter of Section 4, Township 6 South, Range 4 East [160 acres] for $262.40. This land was located one mile south of Laconia on the road to Tobacco Landing and the Ohio River. This land was held by the DODDS family until after the death of Anthony DODDS in 1846 when it was divided among the six surviving children.
