John Dodge was baptized March 10, 1723.
He married October 23, 1748, Lydia Rogers (Colchester Records) and is then called Junior. Lydia Rogers died September 3, 1770 (Canterbury Records).
John Dodge, Jr. married a second time in Canterbury, December 3, 1770, to Elizabeth Willis. She died December 27, 1785, leaving no issue.
He married a third time (Hanover Church Records) on November 22, 1787, to Mrs. Martha Shaw, who survived him.
As they were Baptists, the Dodges went to the Hanover Church instead of the Congregational Church in Canterbury. They at one time attended the Brunswick Church (so called), which was in the southeast part of the present town of Scotland, Connecticut. The old Dodge place was later included in the limits of the Hanover Society, whose records show that several were received from the Brunswick church.
A copy of a letter in the possession of Dr. John L. Dodge of Groton, Connecticut, written to the Honorable Andrew T. Judson, by Hubbard Adams of Canterbury, Connecticut, January 12, 1852:
"Mr. Dodge [John] came into Canterbury something like ninety years ago and settled on the bank of Little River, near what was then called Brown's Mills. He was a blacksmith by trade and made many instruments for the husbandman that were in use, such as broadaxes, steelyards, etc. I have now in my use broadaxes and a pair of steelyards as true as a die.
"As it respects his family, they were as follows: Mr. John Dodge married for his first wife Miss Lydia Rogers, with whom he lived and raised a large family, and they were as follows: Jordan, John, Israel, Josiah, Lydia, Elizabeth, Jeremiah and Nehemiah…Mr. John Dodge used very often to speak the names of his children arranged so as to rhyme, as follows:
"Jordan and John,
Israel and Josiah,
Lydia and Elizabeth,
Jere and Miah"
Mr. Dodge for his second wife married Miss Elizabeth Willis, with whom he lived a number of years. She also died and left no children. For his third wife, he married Mrs. Martha Shaw. He then died himself…The old mansion ground is plain to be seen. The ground that the old blacksmith shop stood on is very visible to this day. There are within six rods of the mansion ground the graves of five of the family, namely, Mr. Dodge, and his two first wives and two daughters, one an infant. At the graves, there are no monuments of intelligence, nothing more than a simple stone…" [Signed] Hubbard Adams
The record of death of John Dodge, Jr. and his wife Elizabeth and his marriage to Mrs. Martha Shaw was discovered in the Hanover Church Records.
John Dodge died January 22, 1794 (This date of death taken from church records of Hanover, a town adjoining Canterbury.)
