Elijah and Emily Dotson in KY & IN
I wanted to move this up on the list and see if i can get somemore responses. It includes some updates.
I am trying to find information on my G-G-Granfather Elijah Dotson and his wife Emily Stiles Dotson. Elijah was born in 1836 in Kentucky and Emily was born in 1838 in Indiana. They married in Indiana and had 6 children there. Their names were James Coleman Dotson, b. 1867; William, b. 1859; Mary, b. 1862; Ella, b. 1864; Alva, b. 1871; and Christina, b. 1871. Alva and Christina were Twins. James Coleman is my G-Grandfather. He married Sarah Alice Wray in 1894 in Indiana. At one time he was a partner in a tile factory in Indiana. He sold out his partnership and moved West. His wife died of TB when their daughter Treeva was 13. Treeva had epilepsy (from being struck by lightening) and her father didn't think that he could care for her so he put her in a Sanitarium in Ft. Supply, Oklahoma. Treeva lived there from the time she was 16 until she died at the age of 40.
If any of this information sound familar, please contact me. I am against a brick wall!!
