Hope that helps.
I believe that Jason Light and Mary Dodge's daughter Mary Elizabeth Light married a Winthrop Dodge and their son Herbert E. Dodge was my great grandfather.Unfortunately none of my grandparents are living and I have not been able to verify this. I have no information on Winthrop Dodge's ancestry. Also, if you have any information on the other offspring of Jason Light and Mary Dodge or any Dodge family from Maine, particularly Edgecomb or Newcastle, I would really appreciate it if you could pass it along.
