Nathan's daughter Sophronia, (No. 59), married John Dodson. a son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Rhodes) Dodson. John was born February 26, 1771. He married (1) July 6, 1797, Clarissa Harrison. By this union eleven children were born to him, one of his sons being the late Stephen Harrison Dodson, ( 1814-1904), a respected citizen of Huntington township. Clarissa died December 22, 1820, and he married Sophronia Monroe, who bore him nine children. The ancestors of John Dodson were English Quakers who came to Burlington, New Jersey, in 1667. His grandfather settled near Philadelphia and joined the Moravian Brethren. John came to Huntington from Mahanoy Valley (Penn township), Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, in 1791. He was the most public spirited and best known citizen of the township, and devoted himself with great zeal, not only to the rearing of his twenty children, but to matters of public education and civic improvement. He was cultivated, hospitable, and courtly, and was familiar known as "Gentleman John." Although he reared a numerous family — eight sons and one daughter by his marriage with Sophronia Monroe — his descendants number only 45. Two of his sons — Charles Millard (No. 671) and Joseph Seymour ( No. 672) — are living. All his children became distinguished and useful citizens. Several of them formed the Weston Dodson Coal Company, an important industrial organization at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. His son Nathan (No. 666), was a prominent physician at Berlin, Wisconsin, and Nathan's son, John Milton Dodson, (No. 679), is a professor of medicine and dean of the medical faculty of the University of Chicago. A genealogy of the Dodson family was recently published by Thomas P. Ege.
