Landlord with husband and son of the Rose Inn, on Wheeler Street in Maidstone from circa 1915 through 1954 (Kent Electoral Rolls). In 1945 George, Jr. was missing from the roll and it may be that he was off fighting in W. W. II.
Edith and George returned to England, from Canada during 1915 as she was unable to adjust to life in Canada and had a very difficult time trying to learn the decimal system of money used here.

Birth: Dec. 26, 1794
Westwell
Kent, England
Death: Aug. 23, 1863
Allegheny County
Pennsylvania, USA
George and Sarah (Brunger) Dodd ran the "Hare and Hounds" Pub in Westwell, Kent, England from 1828-1841.
Immigration: George Dodd and his family travelled on the British ship "Gladiator," which left from London 10 Nov 1838 and arrived in New York 23 Dec 1838. They were listed by the surname of "Andrews" rather than "Dodd" (this was the maiden name of his mother). Here is how the family was listed: George, 41 Sarah, 41 John Frederick, 22 John, 19 Mary, 17 George, 17 Elizabeth, 14 Sarah, 12 Ezekiel, 10 Sophia, 8 Barbara, 6 Hannah, 1 [National Archives, New York, 1820-1850 Passenger & Immigration Lists; New York, Registers of Vessels Arriving at the Port of New York from Foreign Ports, 1789-1919; Micropublication M237, Roll 37, List 733.]
He was buried in Pine Creek Cemetery and moved to Greenwood on February 23, 1882.
Document dated Jan. 18, 1888:
"George Frederick Dodd was born 26 Dec 1791 and died 23 Aug 1863. His wife Sarah Ann Brunger was born 24 Dec 1794 and died in 1876. There (sic) children: Barbara b c 1818, died of measles. Mary Ann b 1824 (lived in Sharpsburgh), married Johnston Mahew in 1842. She died in1882 from cancer. Sarah born 12 Mar 1827 and died in 1886. She married twice. Once to a Smith and 2nd to James Walker. Israel was born 1832 and died at 13 months. Lizzie and some others were in a field burning stubble when his clothes caught fire. John born c Dec 1820 George Frederick b 29 Jan 1822 and was still living in 1888 (died 20 Oct 1903 at Jeannette, PA). He was a butcher in Brookville, PA. Barbara was born 4 Apr 1833 and died 1882. She married Edward West. Sophia born c 1831 and married a James Smith.' The paragraph on Ezekiel is as follows: 'Ezekiel Dodd was born about 1829, died about 1859 from abuse and neglecting himself. his children live at Gentryville, Indiana. One of his sons is about 29 years of age and is blind. His daughter is also living at the same place and married to a man by the name of Armstrong.'
Crime has been a welcome stranger in our family, not one of my Paters has ever been imprisoned or detected in any crime. As far as I can find out, my ancestors were always in comfortable circumstances and always respected. My mothers parents were born in Westwell, Kent County, England. There (sic) parents were also born in England but I do not know just where. They lived on a farm of 17 acres for many years, lying on what is known as the Chalk Hills, Westwell, Kent County. He raised hops, principally and sold them, with this he kept an Inn, something like what you will find in any small town of England today. Here they raised a large family of 11 children, my mother being the youngest. She was 2 years old when they all started for America. The Laws of England were then very hard on poor people and the poor man had no re-dress but to defend himself. My grandfather did defend himself once and that almost at the expense of going to prison for a few years; The old Blue Laws of England forbade the killing of any deer if they should ever break loose from any of the Gentlemen's parks, no matter what the damage might be. The law said you must chase the deer away. With such a loose law consequently many loose hedges were allowed to grow wild and the deer having both good eyes and good 'smellers' would see a hole in the hedge and many a pretty garden would be the sufferer. A great many deer used to pasture off my grandfather's garden and he would chase them away but they were so tame they would come back again. He grew very despondent and finally came to the conclusion that the laws were not for him, so he took the matter into his own hands and the next time 'mister deer' came visiting he landed in grandfather's garden but not on the vegetables; he landed on a pitchfork placed in regular position for him. Thus ended the deer. He took him to the house and very carefully prepared him for eating. It happened that while they were cooking him an officer came in and nearly scared my grandmother into a fit. The officer did not smell him and he was eaten without gloves a la French. After this deer did not bother him so much. This is only one of many inconveniences a man with a large family had to endure under the old English laws. It was no wonder he wanted to breathe the free air of America...Thinking to better himself in America, George F. and Sarah A. Dodd, his wife, started for America with their 11 children. My mother was 2 years of age. They left England on the sailing vessel 'Gladiator' about 11-10-1838 and after 6 weeks of fair weather arrived in New York harbor. They left the ship on December 24th. The ground was covered with snow. Their accommodations were in the second cabin (steerage) which held 40 persons. They all brought their own provisions. Our folks ran out and had to buy food from the captain. John and George washed dishes and milked cows in payment. The voyage cost 5 pounds for adults and 2 1/2 pounds for children. Everything seemed very dear to them in America for flour was $12 a barrel in New York. Wages were low and I suppose it would not have taken much for them to return to the old country. They wandered around New York for 6 weeks, and spent all their spare money. They then met a man named Baker who had a farm in Wheeling and wanted some one to rent it from him. So they all packed up and went over the old canal for Wheeling. Here they stayed for 3 years. Then they lived in a yellow house on Butler Street in Pittsburgh for 1 year. The boys all worked out at whatever they could get. From here they moved to a garden in Pine Creek. Then to a farm owned by the Ross family, about 30 feet from the old canal. (West Penn R.R. now). Here they lived in a log house of 4 rooms for about 9 years. Grandfather George F. Dodd died at his daughter Mary's house on the Ross farm where Joseph Weichel now lives. (A mile from the old home) I never saw either of my grandfathers and only my one grandmother (my mothers mother) who I remember well. She was very stout and never very sick until she died. She lived with her daughter Sarah, and every time I would visit her she would give me a piece of candy. In return I would thread her needles for her. She died as a result of a fall from her bed and is buried in the Uniondale Cemetery in Aunt Sarahs lot. George Frederick Dodd was born 12-26 about 1794 and died 8-23-1863. As long as my mother can remember he had a wart or mole on the end of his nose. Later in life it became very sore and seemed to spread all over his head like cancers. This plus rheumatism caused his death at about 72 years. His wife was Sarah Ann Brunger 12-24 about 1794 and died at 82 years of age. They were both 21 years old when married in 1815. Their children were Barbara, John, George Frederick, Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Sarah, Ezekiel, Sophia, Israel, Barbara and Hannah. Eleven in all." [Hannah West, 18 Jan 1888 Document]
