Archelaus Bynum Dodson (December 31, 1807 - March 10, 1898) was an American-born rancher, statesman and Texas patriot who participated in many of the events leading up to Texas declaring its independence from Mexico and the formation of the Republic of Texas. Famed as the man who introduced the first lone-star flag made by his first wife, Sarah, during the Texas Revolution, Dodson served as a delegate to the Convention of 1832 seeking reforms from the Mexican government.[1]
Dodson was born in North Carolina and came to Texas in 1827 with his parents to settle in Harrisburg. On May 17, 1835, he married Sarah Rudolph (or Randolph) Bradley, the designer of the lone-star flag which Dodson carried into the siege of Bexar and at the Battle of Concepción on October 28, 1835 with the Harrisburg company led by James W. Robinson. Later, during the Runaway Scrape, Dodson was assigned to aid women and children in crossing the Brazos River.[2]
