John Dodge settled in Wenham area where he was a deputy to the General Court for several years. He was a freeman. The Dodge outline in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (NEH & G Reg., Volume 46, page 388), erroneously prints Daniel Denison, Jr. for Daniel Davison, Jr., as husband of Sarah Dodge. General Daniel Denison, Sr. had no son Daniel.
