Frequently I respond to questions on Mailing Lists. I often spend a few hours researching for subscriber's ancestors. I thought it might be helpful to other descendants and researchers to see what I've found, so am posting bits of the original question, and my research into the family genealogy on Olive Tree Genealogy.

The question below on the Dodge and Sterberg families was asked on a popular mailing list. I took several hours to research in my personal library of New York Genealogy resources, and on Ancestry.com. I found some interesting facts about the Dodge family but Adrienne, who asked the original question never responded to my findings which I sent to her email and to the mailing list. So, here' s hoping another descendant or two will find my research helpful.

QUESTION ASKED ON MAILING LIST JANUARY 2007

Children's names were Sarah, Adam. Jesse (male), Joseph, Lydia, Mary, Jane, Permilia. Adam and probably Sarah were born in the US.

MY ANSWER

Have you looked carefully at the Caughnawaga Montgomery County New York area? There is a Daniel Dodge found there in the 1790 census

1st No.-Free white males over 16 years
2nd No.-Free white males under 16 years
3rd No.-Free white females
4th No.-All other free persons

Dodge, Daniel--1-3-5-0-
Dodge, Richard--1-0-1-0-
Dodge, Richard--1-1-2-0-

I found your Daniel's wife (Elizabeth Sternberg) in the Church records of Caughnawaga New York. Her baptism is found as Elizabeth born 16 Oct 1772, baptised 2 Nov. 1772 to Adam Sternberger and Maragriet Printup.

Her parents' marriage is also found in 1768 in the Records of the reformed Dutch Church of Stone Arabia :

Sternberger, Adam (son of Adam) Sternberger married Anna Margreth Brentop [sic] (no date but after 10 April 1768)

There are several DODGE individuals found in Caughnawaga Church records:

Daniel Dodge & Mary Sikkels had the following children bapt there:

Daniel Dodge born 9 May 1782 bpt 19 July 1782. (Is there any chance this could be your Daniel, born 10 years later than you thought?)

Johnstown is another nearby area where DODGE families lived - in fact a Daniel Dodge died and is buried in Johnstown. He died 25 Feb 1805, age 60.

Many of these New York families ended up as Loyalists in Upper Canada (Ontario). Did you check Loyalist land petitions or Loyalist lists for Daniel?
