Roger Dodd (or Dod), D.D., an Englishman, Dean of Salop, was a Fellow of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge. Under a royal letter dated 13 Nov 1605 [James I] he became Bishop of Meath [Anglican] and a member of the Privy Council of Ireland but died at his residence Ardbraccan, Co. Meath, 27 Jul 1608 and was buried there. He was pre-deceased by his wife Margaret who was buried at Epping 31 Aug 1604.
Consequently, his co-heirs were his daughters:
- Abigail Dodd, wife of Thomas Moigne, Fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge, Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, Bishop of Kilmore [Co. Cavan], and
- Margaret Dodd, wife of John Greenham, Esq. of Dublin and Tonnagh, County Cavan, a lawyer and local land-holder who was "of Emanuell Colledge [Cambridge]... a principall Attorney, and sayd to be an honest man and truly religious"...
On 13th Jul 1629 John Greenham with his widowed sister-in-law Mrs. Abigail Moigne (nee Dodd) received a grant of 1500 acres of land in County Cavan which had been previously been “planted” in 1608-1610 as part of the Plantation of Ulster but not taken up by the “undertakers” consisting of the great proportion of Lisreagh, to be called the manor of Moigne Hall, with all manorial rights, and subject to the terms for renewal of grants.
- extracts from my unpublished paper The Earliest Greenhams in Ireland (2008).
As this Roger Dodd had 2 daughters, there were no further Dodd descendants.
However, I would be interested in the ancestry of Roger Dodd if anyone has that information.
