Dear Marsha,

I am contacting you about this profile: Alney McLean Dozier, my maternal Great, Great, Great Grandfather. Alney Dozier's father, Dozier, was born in Muhlenburg County where Alney McLean settled. Alney was named after Alney McLean, a Kentucky lawyer who fought in the War of 1812 against the British and in 1815 in the Battle of New Orleans. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/23526326/alney-mclean "Alney McLean was a War of 1812 officer in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, where William B. Dozier was raised. McLean County, Kentucky was named in his honor."

Alney Dozier married Mary Pool from Natchez, Mississippi. My mom told me decades ago that Mary Pool's father was a country doctor in Natchez, MS.

You can see a lot of this on the Family Search website by the Mormons (it is free).

Take care,

Sincerely,

John McMurray
