The eleventh of these children was Samuel Dodson, who was born in 1738 and died in 1796. He married Elizabeth Rhodes, in 1762, and soon afterward moved to a section of old Northampton County, now in Lehigh County, establishing his home on Mahoning Creek. This was close to the Bethlehem Moravian settlement and the family united with that church. Their second daughter, Abigail, is noted in local history as having been captured by the Indians, being rescued after five years passed with various tribes; she was educated by the Moravians.
