P_10433_0530 – Edward Dod or Dodd
Born: Unknown
Died: Unknown
Edward Dod (fl. 1707-20), London merchant and linen draper, owner or co-owner of 7 voyages from London, three with his partner Robert Atkins (q.v.). One of Pettigrew’s elite separate traders. A Chancery suit between Robert Atkins as plaintiff and Edward Dod and others in 1743 indicates later tensions between the partners and was probably the Chancery suit still underway in 1761. To date no will or death-date has been reliably traced for Edward Dod or Dodd.

Sources: Pettigrew, Freedom's Debt p. 78. C 11/1887/10 Description: Short title: Atkyns v Ash. Document type: Bill only. Plaintiffs: Robert Atkins esq, citizen and mercer of London. Defendants: Joseph Windham Ash, Edward Dod, Richard Cooke, William Mills, Edward Stephenson, James Bonnell, Philip Perry, John Windham, Roger Tublay and Daniel Minet. Date of bill (or first document): 1743. London Gazette 21 February 1761Issue:10081Page:4 shows an advertisement for creditors of the partnership of Edward Dod, Robert Atkins, Joseph Windham and Robert Green, Citizens and Linen Drapers. Joseph Windham, later Joseph Windham Ashe, was MP for Downton 1734-41 and 1742-46, https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1715-1754/member/windham-ashe-joseph-1683-1746. The will of Edward Dod proved 26/09/1763, PROB 11/891/484 has no evident connections to the London linen draper. Genealogical material online suggest this might be the will of Captain Edward Dod RN. Will of Edward Dod of Newgate Street made 05/09/1763. He left: his sister Diana Dod an annuity of £60 p.a.; his sister Jane an annuity of £40 p.a.; his sister Rachel Hodgson widow an annuity of £40 p.a.; his godson Edward Dod Colvill a annuity of £10 p.a until 21; to 15 relatives, £10 each for mourning; and after the disposal of personal items, the rest of his estate in trust, 2/3rds of the income to his niece Mary Colvill and then the principal to her children and 1/3rd to his niece Jane Baker and then the principal to her children. https://www.british-history.ac.uk/cal-treasury-books/vol32/pp122-145 shows Robert Atkins, Joseph Wendham[sic] and Edward Dod active together 1716-7 in relation to the ship Whidah, the ship in voyage 76603. M.D. Mitchell p. 246 associates voyage 76603 also with Humphry Morice (and gives 'Dodd').
