I created this website as a resource for folks who trace their ancestry to a Henry Dotson born in North Carolina in 1823 and lived in Rabun County, Georgia in the years 1850-1880. My own genealogical research led me to identify this Henry Dotson as a distant ancestor. My determination to find out who this man was and where he came from brought me to numerous online forums, websites, and even the backwoods of Rabun county itself.
My goal for this website is to correct the misinformation out there, serve as a resource for others who have identified Henry Dotson as an ancestor, and hopefully break through this brick wall to find out who Henry Dotson was, where he came from, and what brought him out to Rabun County, Georgia.
If you have any leads, corrections, or other possible useful information, feel free to contact me.
