Lloyd,
Hi! First of all, thanks for your note! Enjoyed hearing from you. I'm sorry to say, I don't have my info in GEDCOM format but in the format you found it at Flo's website. I sent her my file and she pretty much posted it as it was.
I would really like any information you have about Amzi and his children. I know he was divorced once and remarried; I know he went to California in the early gold rush with at least two of his brothers, one of whom died at Oroville; I know he lived in Franklin Co., Iowa, and
purchased land there and married Rebecca Colson (2nd wife) there. But he disappeared from that area after the Civil War.
Dodd genealogy (Avlyn Conley Dodd). It says
"Amzi was born June 7, 1810, Mendham, Morris Co., NJ., and died Aug. 31, 1887 at Boone Co, Iowa. he married 1 - Phebe DeWitt and 2nd on Nov. 25, 1856, Franklin Co, Iowa, Rebecca J. Gilson (probably Gibson) who was born in 1830 IN and died Aug. 31, 1873 Boone Co, Iowa. He appeared on the 1856 Franklin Co, IA Census; 1860 Marshall Co, IA census and 1880 Boone Co census with wife Annie M. (a 3rd wife??) age 55, b. TN as were her parents.

Contacts: That is correct although the dates for Edward Y. Dodd are incorrect we
believe, as are most of the dates for the children of Stephen and Phebe
Dodd. If you are a relative of Amzi Dodd then you probably know Lloyd
Horrocks?? I just came across his name and emailed him and got a response
back a couple of days ago.
I have wondered about the "first" family of Amzi Dodd for years. I have
found his grave, along with his second wife Rebecca and a son, James Gibson
Dodd at the Lynwood Cemetery, Boone, Boone Co, IA. I have found Amzi on the
1856 special census in Franklin Co, IA along with his brothers Jesse R. Dodd
and John M. Dodd. He is listed as 42 years old, born in New Jersey, living
in Morgan Twp, Franklin Co, IA and listed as a land owner. He was married
(2nd) to Rebecca Gibson, who was from Gilbert, IA, on 25 Nov 1856. Their
first son, James Gibson Dodd was born 9 May 1858 (although the gravestone
reads 1859-1937) and died in 1937 (unmarried). James was a farmer lived at
Ontario, IA in 1937, which is a small town about 3 miles east of Ames, IA on
Hwy 30. He was found on the 1900 census of Franklin Co, IA and the 1920
census of Story Co, IA.
