I was in Nova Scotia week of August 18 with three other Dolben cousin on the great documentation hunt. We met Wayne Walker at the Kings County Historical Society and he sent via e mail 17 pages of Dodge material. Looking at orginal documents from the Nova Scotia Archives I wonder about who gave Calnek his information. Angelina in the church records is listed as marring David Bringelson of St. John NB. There is a death notice in Mass vital records for death of David Brindelson. Elizabeth Dodge has marriage listed for 1866 to Moses Costley. Elizabeth Dodge Costley died in Lynn Mass in 1905 and her death cert. lists her mother as Elizabeth Bolby. I am a descendented of Richard Dolben. This family drop off the offical records and Thomas Beardsley is listed in court documents that settled Asahel Walker Dodge's estate. He said that there were other children but he didnot know where they were. Joyce Thompson
