Today I received a copy of a picture of John Payne Dotson in his Civil War uniform. He served as a Colonel in the 32nd Infantry Company K and later in the Calvary Battalion Company F of the Army of Tennessee. I’ve taken the photo and tried to clean it up some.

I received this picture from another descendant of John Payne Dotson last week. I was very glad to receive such a piece of family history since I don’t have any pictures that far back. This picture was taken either late 1800s or very early 1900s since John Payne, pictured sitting right, died in 1910. I am a descendant of Archabald Lefftridge Dotson and Martha Rebecca Baker. Archabald is the son of John Payne Dotson and Martha Crownover. I’m in the process of seeing if I can clean it up any.

I know there is also some pictures of John Payne Dotson in his civil war uniform. I’d really appreciate scans if you have anything of John Payne, Archabald, or Zackariah (John’s father). You can send them to dotsonfamilytreetn@gmail.com.
