Dodd family Bible       During the Civil War, Henry Gaston Dodd enlisted in the Confederate Army on 17 Jun 1861 and served with Company K, 24th Infantry Regiment NC.  He enlisted as a Corporal in Franklin County, NC.  He was 24 years old.  It is not known if he served as a physician or whether he became a doctor after the war.   Both his brothers, Ruffin Thomas Dodd and Ransom T. Dodd also served with the Confederate States of America, enlisting with Company A, 47th Infantry Regiment NC.  Ransom was wounded in the first day's battle at Gettysburg and Ruffin was a survivor of Pickets Charge.       At the end of the war, Henry Gaston returned to Franklin County and by 1870 had a medical practice in Cypress Creek.       Henry Gaston Dodd married Emily "Emma" Creech, daughter of Stanford Creech and Martha Ellen Horne of Clayton, around 1874.  He was about 37 years old and she was 18.  Following the marriage, he moved his medical practice to Clayton, NC.   Gaston and Emma had two children.   Children of Dr. Henry Gaston Dodd and Emily "Emma" Creech Name Birth Death Spouse Roscoe S.

Dodd 1875     DaCosta Dodd 1876 1880       His bride of just a few years died sometime between 1876 - 1880, either during childbirth or soon thereafter.  She was about 20 - 24 years old.  Regrettably, her gravestone in Horne Cemetery has sunk and most of the information on it is illegible.  It is known, however, that Gaston was a widower by 1880.   Their second born son, DaCosta, died in 1880 and is also buried in Horne Cemetery.     Dr. Henry Gaston Dodd survived his wife by at least 12 years.  He died 06 Sep 1892 at the age of 55.   His only surviving son, Roscoe, graduated Wake Forest University and was last known to be living in Morrisville, Wake County, NC (ca. 1920) where he was managing the retail mercantile concerns of his uncle, Samuel Ruffin Horne.    Roscoe married Fannie Powers on Aug 1897 and was father of one known child: Benjamin R. Dodd (b. 1899).       SOURCES   Ancestry.com Story http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/417707/person/789854948/media/1?pgnum=1&pg=0&pgpl=pid%7cpgNum       If you have additional information about Dr. Henry Gaston Dodd please contact me.
