Yes, John Dodds who m. Elizabeth McKee is the brother of our Archibald Dodds
I did not have any more information on Elizabeth, so this should be fun!
I do know that Archibald came to America 1823 & landed in Halifax, Nova Scotia....from there to Westmoreland Co., PA, through Buffalo, NY
The info. I have on YOUR John is........came from Ireland in 1820, landing at Halifax, Nova Scotia, they came by way of Buffalo, NY to Lucesco, Westmoreland Co., PA.
John removed to Butler Co., PA near Bakerstown (1826 bought 400 acres known as Camperdown in Butler & Allegheny Counties, where present Valencia is situated).
The family bible burned with his residence per John Alexander Dodds
I have a little bit of info. on their sisters as well, Elizabeth m. Thomas Bole & Isabella m. Thomas Davison.The latter couple came to Nova Scotia from Ireland and Isabella died there.I do not know what happened to the family thereafter.
Look forward to hearing more from you!
