Mid-Atlantic Genealogies, 1340-1940 FTM CD#156: Our ancestor appeared in America first in 1660-1, as one of the original sixteen proprietors and settlers of Block Island, in the faithful official record of honest old Nathaniel Mott, town clerk, copied in 1695. The ancient scribe, though writing a strong legible hand, shows by his records of the old deeds that few or none of the Islanders of that age could write their names, and he expressed the several names by imitating their pronunciation; and as with other settlers, our ancestor's name in his record "suffered a sea-change" by his pen, into "Thrustararorum Daudg," ... He had been married sometime before: though his wife's name is not given, and in 1670, he had four sons with him as settlers, who were then admitted freemen: as appears [Book 1, Evidences of Property of New Shoreham (Rhode Island), page 55], viz.: "At a Town meeting held the month of July for the year one thousand six hundred and seventy: "It was resolved that the freemen of the Town their names should be recorded for the Town Record, "thyrustarom Daudge "John Daudge "thrustarum Daudge "William Daudge "Israel Daudge." ... Will of Tristram Dodge. Dated 26th day July, 1733. "First--Gives and devises to Dorcas my wife my house and all my land on Block Island for her life, and all my moyable estate indoors and out; and after her decease, the House and Land to my son Nathaniell Dodge; and the movable estate to be equally divided between my two daughters Dorcas Landworth and Sarah Mitchell; and my Will is that my son Nathaniell Dodge (who is named Executor) shall pay to my son Thomas Dodge Ten pounds;
and to my son Ebenezer, u10; and to my son Hezekiah, u10; and to my son Tristram Dodge, u10; and to my daughter Dorcas, u2; and to my daughter Sarah, u2." Revokes all prior wills (attestation clauses). Proved at New Shoreham, June 7, 1735.

A-CHS 11/01 issue: The early names in the Dodge family are hard to document. Our files start this line in England with Oliver (1500) > Isiah (1574) . John > Tristan (1607-1683) > (then to Rhode Island) Tristan (1647-1733) > Nathaniel (1682 - 1763) > Mark (1717 -) > Simon (1741 - 1822) > (then to Islesboro, Maine) Joshua Dodge (1782 - 1858). This Joshua may have been married to Berila Penaleton or to Betsy Wilkins, or to both. /P/ The 1850 census of Plantation 14 lists Joshua Dodge, age 46, and his wife Jane, age 39. Their children were; George 20, William 17, Alfred 15, Mary 12, Elisa 10, Joshua Jr. 6, Charles 2, and Sarah 1. /P/ This Joshua Dodge, born about 1804, was a son of Joshua of Islesboro. One source states that he died on December 27, 1882. He married Jane Shaw of Edmunds on December 25, 1828. Jane was born about 1811 and died on October 22, 1889 or October 10, 1872. /P/ George Warren was born on November 1, 1830 at Edmunds and died March 31, 1897 at Dennysville. He was a ship's carpenter. He married Mary Benner on 9/3/1851. She was born in 1831 at Pembroke. Known children of George W. and Mary were; Franklin (1853-4 - 1943), Clarence (1857), George A. (1858 - 1859), George (1861 - 1897), Hiram E. (1863 - 1944), and Lillian May (1865 - 1951). The 1860 Plantation 14 census lists George and Mary with John W. age 8, and Frank H. age 6. /P/ William was born in 1832 and died in 1903. He married about 1860 Eleanor Smith, daughter of Haskel Wood and Deborah (Harriman) Smith of Cooper. (They are in the 1860 and 1870 Plantation 14 census.) It is interesting to note that Deborah was the daughter of James and Deborah (Shaw) Harriman). Their children of whom we have records are Reliphenia (1861), James (1863 - 1941), and twins John Edgar and Joshua Everett. They were born on February 24, 1865. John Edgar married Elmira Henderson; Joshua Everett married Ella Henderson. /P/ Alfred appears on the 1860 census for Plantation 14. Alfred is 25 years old; his wife Betsey is 20, and their child Lizzie, 8 months. The 1870 census does not list Alfred and Betsey, but lists Lizzie, at age 10, living with Marcus and Eliza Peters and their children Frederic and Willena. Lizzie is attending school. /P/ We also find in Plantation 14 in 1860 Joshua 55, Jane 49, Elisa 19, Joshua Jr. 16, Charles 12, Sarah 10, Martha D. 14, James 7, and Raymond G. 4. Child 3, daughter Mary, has disappeared. /P/ Listed in 1870 in Joshua Dodge's family were Jane 59, Joshua Jr. 26, Charles 22, James 17, Raymond G. 14, and Aldred 6. We also find 10-year old Lizzie, daughter living in #14, but not with her parents, Alfred and Betsey. /P/ In the 1880 census of Plantation 14, Joshua Jr. 36 and Lucy 35 Dodge have 4 children, Heman 8, Stillman 6, Gilbert 1 and Mary or Minnie 1. Living with the family was Joshua Jr.'s brother Charles 32. /P/ The 1861 Washington County Map and the 1881 Colby's Atlas of Washington Co. show that the Dodge Family lived on East Ridge in #14, on the road from Dennysville to Cooper, east of Cathance Lake. Later several members of this family moved north into Cooper (which was once Township 15) and resided along East Ridge road in that town.
