Feb. 1705. Lambeth received by will from his father, Charles Dodson, Sr., his father's "new dwelling plantation with 100 acres of land belonging to it."

The births of the following children are recorded in North Farnham Parish: Mary born 3 Apr 1724; Isaac, son of Lambert and Sarah b. 11 Sep 1730; Nanny daughter b. 20 Jul 1734.

Lambeth seems to have left Richmond before 1739 and his wherabouts are unknown for several years. In Nov 1747 there is a plat for 190 acres on Falling Creek in the old Halifax Co VA Plat Book 1, and another on Sandy Creek in Feb of 1755. These locations are probably in present Henry and Patrick Counties. Lambeth appears on a tax roll in Halifax in 1753. In 1765, Lambeth patented 400 acres on the Mayo River in Pittsylvania Co but transferred this to George Gibson a year later, Gibson possibly a son-in-law? He also patented land in Guilford Co NC in 1779, some of which was sold by Lambeth Dodson of Henry Co VA to Zachariah King in 1784; another part of this land was sold by Dodson heirs in 1814, Lambeth Jr. may have had possession of part.
