(1) the family web site at www.dodingtonfamily.org which contains (inter alia) a page of text apparently transcribed from pp 518-520 of Collinson's 'History of Somerset' (1791), which follows the main line 'of Dodington', plus a pedigree which covers that main line plus the Horsington line whilst adding some data about some of the younger children
(2) input as reported above from BLG1886 (Marriott-Dodington of Horsington) and a (very) little support from Visitation (Somerset, 1623, Dodington & Visitation (Somerset & Bristol, 1672, Dodington of Lincoln's Inn)
