He is in Madison Co. Ill. in 1814 according to the " History of Madison Co. Ill." 
by Brinks. as follows: MICHEAL DODD entered 317 acres of land in section 5 on Sept.13 1814,
and Nat, a black man, 17 years old, brought into the territory by Micheal Dodd, and by him 
registered to serve 35 years from May 31 1816 to Sept. 13 1851. 
The land entered by Micheal Dodd was near Edwardsville, Ill., which is near St. Louis Mo. 
on the opposite side of the Mississippi River. Next we find him in Waynes Co. Mo. Edwardsville 
is a little over 100 miles from Wayne Co. and apparently when he left Ill. he went to
