    Notes 
    • Reverend Nehemiah Henry Harding's daughter, Priscilla Shaw Harding (1829-1870), in 1854 married Milton's long-practicing and apparently much-loved Dr. Charles Russell Dodson, M.D. (1814-1898).

      The good Dr. Dodson has a sister, Lucy Mayfield Dodson (1812-1895), who in 1833 married Jacob Able Ramseur (1808-1880), thus becoming the mother of General-to-be Stephen Dodson Ramseur (1837-1864).

      So, Dr. Charles Russell Dodson is the uncle of General Stephen Dodson Ramseur, making Priscilla Shaw Harding (daughter of Reverend Nehemiah Henry Harding) the aunt (by marriage) of the General.

      But, that is not the entire story. The good Dr. Dodson had another sister, Mary Randloph Dodson (1810-1887), who in 1838 married Caleb Hazard Richmond (1805-1861). And, of course, this couple had a beautiful daughter, Ellen Ella Richmond (1840-1900), who in 1863 married her first cousin Stephen Dodson Ramseur!

      Another sister of Dr. Charles Russell Dodson, married Andrew Motz from Lincolnton, North Carolina. Note that an Alexander Hampton (AH) Motz from Lincolnton (operated stores in Milton and Yanceyville), but have not connected the dots.
