Abimael Dodge

Calvin Dodge, Stephen R. Dodge, and Abimael Dodge were all located early on in Richland Co., OH, one could assume a connection. Especially with Abimael and Stephen both in Ontario Co., NY, then with Abimael being administrator of Stephen R. Dodge's probate in OH. We cannot find this Stephen R. Dodge listed in any of the Dodge genealogy books, nor have we been able to locate him on an early census, so we have no clue as to his age, etc.

We suspect these names (at least our Abimael) may have been children of Amos Dodge Jr. and wife Huldah DODGE (dau. of Daniel DODGE b. 1727). Has anyone ever confirmed children for this Amos? Has anyone ever run across the Stephen R. Dodge previously? Or the Samuel Dodge that died in the 1830's in Cuyahoga Co., OH?
