DODGE For many generations the Dodge family were connected with Of- ferton. The name at first was spelled Dogge and Doggeson. In 1306 a coat- of-arms was granted to Peter Dodge, of Stockport, England. The name is found in the records of Offerton, Stockport, Cheadle and Marple. In 1384-85 Robert Doggeson, son of Robert, held land in Stockport, and in 1390 William, son of Robert, also had lands there. In 1422-23 William Doggeson, mercer, as he was called in 1428, had lands in the Hillgate. He was of Stockport. They were prominent there. and several of the name held the office of mayor of Stockport. "A group of houses in this township (Stockport) is still known as Dodge Fold, on one of which are the initials
and S. D., 1742; but there are traces of an carlier building." About 1720 Samuel Dodge gave eight pounds for apprenticing poor chil- dren in Offerton, and about 1765 Robert Dodge gave ten shillings a year for teaching poor children. In 1812 Samuel Dodge was mayor. Undoubtedly for almost six hundred years Stockport, county Chester, has been the home of the Dodge family. A letter from the poet Tupper to Robert Dodge, of New York, 1847, gives the best proof that the Dodge family of Essex county, Massachu- setts, are descended from Peter Dodge, of Stopworth, Cheshire.
(I) John Dodge and his wife Margery lived in Somersetshire, England. Children : Richard, mentioned below ; William, born about 1604. died between 1685 and 1692, came to Salem in 1629; Michael, lived and died in East Coker, Somersetshire, England, was church warden in 1670, had five children ; Mary, died in England and had son John.

He settled in 1638, in Salem, Massa- chusetts, and after living for a time on the land of his brother William, he settled on "Dodge Row," in North Beverly, not far cast of Wenham Lake. The house he built stood probably not far from the present line of North Beverly. The farm remained in the family for years. He and his wife Edith were members of the Wenham church before 1648. In 1653 his name ranks first on the list of twenty-one subscribers to Harvard College, the next highest contributor giving only one- fourth as much. He gave land for a burying ground, now known as the cemetery on "Dodge Row." He died June 15, 1671, leav- ing the large estate of seventeen hundred and sixty-four pounds and two shillings. He gave to his sons, John. Richard and Samuel, good farms valued at one hundred pounds apiece. His sons, Edward and Joseph, were given the home farm. His wife died June 27, 1678, aged seventy-five.

owned a large farm in Ipswich, which he sub- sequently gave to his eldest son, Richard. He also had land near Chebacco Lake in Ipswich. He owned a cider mill and press. About two years before his death he divided his property among his children, giving his negro man Mingo to the eldest son.

On De- cember 1, 1703, more than a year before his father's death, he received from him the house and lands on which he had settled in Ipswich, and also the negro man Mingo. The deed was acknowledged before Robert Hale, justice of the peace, March 18, 1703-04. He married. November 16, 1694, Martha, daugh- ter of Deacon Thomas Low, of Chebacco, in Ipswich. She died aged sixty-eight, and they were both buried in the old cemetery on "Dodge Row." His will was dated July 5, 1734, and proved June 18, 1739.

(\') Richard (4), son of Richard (3) Dodge, was born probably in 1711 of 1712. in Hamlet Parish. The names of Barnabas, Paul and Richard are placed in that order in a deed of division in 1737, and in 1740 the name Paul comes before Richard, after the death of Barnabas. Barnabas, who married in 1728, received a deed of one-third of the land bought from John Quarles, and Paul, who married in 1732, also received a third, the deed being dated July 3, 1734. After Richard married in 1734. he received the other third of the farm on October 2, the same year. He received the third from Barnabas after the latter's death. He sold his land in Ipswich. March 12, 1759. to Jacob Dodge, and bought one hundred acres in Sutton on the same day,
of Isaac Dodge. He bought two hundred acres, partly in Sutton and partly in Uxbridge, three days later. In March, 1762, he deeded fifty acres of this land to his son Rufus, who was a carpenter and yeoman of Uxbridge. In 1765 he sold fifty acres of it to William Batch- elor, of Upton, cooper. To his son-in-law, Reuben Town, a farmer of Sutton, he sold three pieces of land amounting to sixty-nine acres, in 1767-72-75. The last time the sig- nature of his wife Sarah appears is on the deed of February, 1767. and his appears last in March, 1775. On April 11, 1777, the heirs of Richard sold eight-ninths of his land in Sutton to Richard Dodge, of Sutton. Reu- ben Town was dead at this time, for his wife signed the deed, and the acknowledgement, December 2, 1782, called her wife of Samuel Wallis.
Richard Dodge married Sarah Tuttle, of Hamlet, published August 16, 1734. Children, probably born in Ipswich: Rufus, March 14, 1736; Richard, May 21, 1738, probably died young ; Nathaniel. December 9, 1740; Asa ; James, mentioned below : Thomas, of Dudley ; Sarah, married Reuben Town ; Mary.

Colonel Mi- chael Jackson's regiment, in 1777-79, and in the same regiment January I, to April 20, 1780.

One of these Johnstons had thirteen children, several of whom came to America, among them James, who is men- tioned below, and Michael, both of whom made their homes in Ulster county, New York. Through two generations the name was spelled Johnston, though later generations spell the name Johnson. Johnston is derived from a place name meaning John's town, while Johnson is a patronymic, meaning son of John. Johnston or Johnstone is preemi- nently a Scotch surname. The family was in Dumfriesshire about 1300, and possessed af- terward the marquisate of Annandale, the earldom of Annandale and Hartfield, viscount- cy of Annan and lordships of Evandale, Loch- maben and Moffat. The name is very numer- ous in Ireland, especially among the Scotch of Ulster province in the Protestant counties of Antrim, Down, Armagh. Fermanagh, Ca- van and Londonderry.
