James Monroe Dodd

James Dodd b. June 17, 1782 and d. late 1843, buried Near his home and the Old Steel Bridge over the Gasconade River (grave has been lost or may be under water now).

He married first to Cyntha Unknown. Cyntha was b. 13 Oct 1784 and d. April 11, 1819.

He then married Milly (or Milla) Walker on 18 July 1819 in Jefferson Co., TN by Wm. Willis, J.P. Some suspect Cyntha Unknown is the sister of Milly Walker, since James and Milly named their first born daughter after Cyntha. This would be an unusual naming pattern for a second wife, if she had not been connected to Cyntha..No proof or evidence found so far.

Milla was b 6 May 1801 in NC or TN and she later married to Rev. Isaac England, after James Dodd died. She d 25 Oct 1882 in Warsaw, Benton Co., MO and is buried in Bethel Campground Cem.
