Daughter of Thomas Bennett and Molly Tapley
Thomas Bennett b. 1751 Pittsylvania Co., Virginia d. Oct 1831 Caswell Co., North Carolina
Granddaughter of John Bennett and Elizabeth Dodson
Elizabeth Dodson is the 3 Great Granddaughter of Jamestown colonist John Dods who came over on the Susan Constant.
This from other researchers:
Dods, John Age 36 in Virginia Muster, January 24, 1624/5.
(Also on John Smith's list of The First Settlers as "Laborer".
Listing in muster, cit. 3, gives date of arrival as April, 1607;
his wife, Jane, was also listed, but would have arrived on a later ship.)
Susan Constant (Also listed in some sources as the Sarah Constant)
December 20, 1606, departed London and arrived April 26, 1607, at Virginia. See Ship & Passenger Information
June 22, 1607, the Susan Constant, accompanied by the Godspeed, departed Jamestown, Virginia, and arrived in
England on July 29, 1607.
See Ship & Passenger Information
Group: Labourer
Region: Lincolnshire
Age about 18. Arrived on Susan Constant, listed on the Virginia musters 1622 and 1624 as at Neck-of-land,
Charles City, so survived 1622 massacre and may well have family descendants.
Dods is one of only three 1607 settlers still alive in 1624. He also went with George Percy in the Pinnace when Smith in the Discovery went to visit Powhatan at Werowocomoco, and during the visit, built a house for Powhatan.
This would probably have been of the same 'mud and stud' type of dwelling that has been found at Jamestown, and is unique to the East Lincolnshire area.
