There is a J. M. Dodson (could be Dotson) that testified at the trial of Aaron James. At the time this person was a 2nd Lt in Co. E, 10th Tenn. Cav. (Confederate); he had been captured on July 16, 1863, at Maysville on Yellow Creek in Dickson County by Federal troops. He was a conscript officer at the time. Could this be the same person?
