Note

Charles & Ann Dodson were parents of six sons (Charles Jr, Thomas, Bartholomew Richard, William, Lambeth, and John) and two daughters (Ann and Elizabeth) who settled in Virginia. Mentioned in her father’s will Elizabeth Dodson is the discovered wife of Samuel Gann.

By 1748, but probably before, Samuel Gann & Elizabeth lived in Frederick Co., perhaps having first followed Elizabeth’s brother John Dodson into Augusta in 1737-41... Elizabeth’s husband Samuel Gann was most likely the first-born son of John Gann (b. est. 1675-1680), an emigrant of 1701 proved in Charles City County (Richmond, VA), arriving as an unmarried man in a group of 20 transports of Capt. Francis Epps, William Epps, and Littlebury Epps in exchange for headright land.

The Epps family were from Kent, in Southeast England, had maintained family and business ties there, and from their familiar homeland likely recruited emigrants to America.

[From June 2025 presentation of Thea Baker at annual meeting of Gann Society.]
