Mary Hudson Dodd, born England, parents unknown. In 1806 she married William H. Dodd in England, after which they immigrated to New York. (This Mary Hudson was not a descendant of the explorer Henry Hudson, as is sometimes mentioned.)

William Henry Dodd (1778-1848) and Mary Hudson (1783-1858) had 12 children:

William Henry Dodd 1807 – 1890
Mary Dodd McCoduck 1809 – 1882
Ann Dodd Cronk 1810 – 1854
Maria Dodd Simmons 1812 – 1865
Charles Dodd 1814 – 1864
Charlotte Dodd Aldrich 1814 – 1866
Edward Dodd 1816 – 1891
Henry Dodd 1818 – 1880
Frederick Dodd 1820 – 1889
Sophia Dodd 1822 – 1822
Sophia Dodd Van Norder 1825 – 1892
Martha Dodd Van Norder 1829 – 1852

Mary (Hudson) Dodd's family history remains unidentified, to the best of writer's knowledge. The only clue to her identity is a note in the Saratoga County Historian's Office in their Dodd file. This story stated that William Henry Dodd was disowned by his family for marrying a woman of low birth from the country. Story is that William fell in love with Mary Hudson when she visited his father's shop to trade. William thought Mary was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. So they married and immigrated to America in 1806. And it is said he never spoke of his family again. He supposedly brought a large sum of money, $10,000, with which to relocate.
