Nancy,
Your March 27, 1998 posting at "http://www.genforum.com/dotson/"mentioned a James Coleman who had a daughter Treeva who had epilepsy. I can't be of any help regarding any of the names you mentioned, because I'm stuck at my great grandfather Campbell Dotson (See below) and haven't yet been able to find who his parents were. However, my own father (Dillard Dalton Dotson) had epilepsy, and so I suspect that it must have also appeared in his ancestors or other relatives as well.
