Prior to the Civil War, the family moved to Anderson County, Tennessee. He enlisted (Civil War) on July 1, 1861, Gate City, Scott County, Virginia, Company A, 48th Virginia Regiment under the command of Captain James F. Greemer and Captain John M. Vermillion, Confederate Army. His regiment was a part of the Second Corps, Stonewall Brigade, under the command of General "Stonewall" Thomas Jonathan Jackson, May 1863. When they encountered General Joseph Hooker's Union forces near Chancellorsville, Virginia, Jackson's men struck from behind and drove the enemy back in wild disorder. At nightfall, Jackson and a few trusted soldiers, Andrew Jackson Dotson included, went ahead of the line to scout. In the darkness, some of Jackson's own men mistook him for the enemy and shot him. Jackie Dotson told his great-grandson, Arnold Clark, that he stayed by his beloved leader's bedside for eight days, until his death, then walked every step to his home in Anderson County, Tennessee. After the war, the family moved to Old Tazewell, Claiborne County, Tennessee, living there until 1877 when they moved to the head of Glady Fork of Pound River, Wise County, Virginia. They were Republicans of the first order. Jackie persuaded his daughter, Emily Bolling to promise that she would vote a straight Republican ticket as long as she lived--a promise she kept. They were very devout Christians, members of the Methodist Church. He was a tenant farmer. After Betsey's death, he lived among his children, most of the time being spent with his daughter, Emily Bolling's family. He was blind in his old days. They are buried along with several of their children in the churchyard of the Mount Zion Church, Dewey, Wise County, Virginia. Information provided by Angela Stallard
