Two men believed to be brothers by the name of James and Howell Dandy were transported to the American colonies as early as 1754. Not necessarily together. Family researchers believe their surname may've got changed to Daudy/Doddy/Dody and finally to Dawdy. Both men were documented in New Jersey later in 1771 where a reward was offered for the return of Howell (Dawdy) as an endentured run-a-way.He made his way to Tennesse and N. Carolina participating the in Rev. War. James (Dawdy) lived the rest of his life in Sussex co., N.J. We would love to hear from anyone who can connect to this line, iether as Dandy or Dawdy.
