    • Records of these three are found in St. David's Parish where they are listed as voting and in the militia. We have no public record stating these three are brothers, the circumstances of their appearing in the records at the same time and receiving land grants in the same area along with the fact that John and James Dozier both received Deputy Surveyor licenses in February 1768, lends support that they are brothers. (S.C. Archives Misc. Records Volume NN pp 96-99)

William Dozier, Thomas Dozier and Richard Mark Dozier migrated to S.C. in 1786. These three settled in the Ninety ix - Abbeville District. There are many records on them and their descendants. There are records to prove they are sons of Leonard III and Ann."
