Is it possible that Matthew was born in 1839/1840 in Pennsylvania?
I am researching the Remington family. Harriet was the daughter of John and Lucinda (Marble) Remington.
Harriet was born Aug 27, 1832 in New York. Her family moved to Pennsylvania, then Wisconsin (mid-1840s as some of her younger siblings were born in Wisconsin). She died on March 1, 1869. She is reported to have married a Mathew Dodgson on Aug 17, 1854.
Matthew and Harriett "Dodson" (transcribed on ancestry as "Dadson") are listed on an 1860 census for Little Falls, Monroe County, Wisconsin. The census also lists Eva Dodson (born 1855 in Wisconsin) and Edgar Dodson (born 1858 in Wisconsin). Matthew is listed on an 1870 census for the same town and county, living alone with another family. His name is spelled "Dodgson" on that census. On the census, his birthstate is listed as Pennsylvania. Eva and Edgar Dodgson are listed as living with Edwin and Mary Dodgson (aunt and uncle?) in Trenton, Dodge County, Wisconsin.
