The Dave Dozier Family Home Page

I am searching for information on The Dave Dozier Family. Dave was born in Portugal (maybe near Lisbon) between 1865 and 1870. He was probably four or five years old when he and an older brother (name unknown) travelled from Lisbon across the Atlantic to the United States. They probably landed in New York (Ellis Island).
Dave moved to Illinois, and from there to Benchley, Texas (near Bryan/College Station, Texas -- Brazos County). He served as Justice of the Peace in Benchley. His wife, Catherine Townsend, died here. They had ten children: 1. Sally "Sissy" (married Walter Godine); 2. Eliza (married Frank Owens & Clarence Morris);
3. Lillian "Burr" (married Ollie "Poppa Snow" McElroy); 4. Beatrice (married Mr. Davis); 5. Gussielene (married Edward Calloway); 6. Adline (married Blessie Thomas); 7. Ray "Tuta" (married Joe Russell); 8. Dave Dozier II (wife unknown); 9. Roosevelt "Buddy" (wife unknown); and 10. Rosetta (married Wilmer Hunter)

My parents are Jewel McElroy-Ross from Ennis, Texas (Ellis County) and Calvin Augustus Ross from Millican, Texas (Brazos County).
