Bartholomew and Mary Dods came to Benson from New Jersey around 1800 (They did not come directly from N.J. but spent a number of years in Montgomery County (Town of Florida etc.)

Batholomew died there in 1808, his son John Dods born in 1764, (actually baptised 1 August 1767), remained in Benson with his wife Margaret born 1775 in New York State until after 1850.

John's son Daniel Dods born in 1814 continued to live in Benson with his wife Hannah and his parents during the 1850's By 1860 the Dods had left Town.

She died 13 July 1860 age 48 obit in "Amsterdam Recorder" newspaper of 13th
Mrs Sarah Dodds widow of late John Dods (and this is were we run into trouble as according to G/S John son of Thomas did not died until 12 June 1864)
John son of Cornelius did died 5 May 1848 but G/S of Sarah W Palmer reads wife of Jacob and John Dods died 21 March 1895 long after either John had died.
Weird but did Sarah Palmer marry 1. Jacob son of Cornelius and when he died in 1830 marry his cousin John son of Thomas and of course long outlived him too ?? That would work but strange wording on the G/S Wrote Mr Keefer for hisd thoughts.
