I used to be in the "they were Jewish" camp, but now I've seen documentation that they were not. The W. VA miners families just went through hell because of unconfirmed rumors. Most wars have been fought because of unconfirmed rumors. I'd rather see proof before stating absolutely about something. Show me that Prussian source. Most Prussians were Orthodox Christians.
The Dodge Brothers

The Dodge brothers, [Daniel (6), Ezekial (5), William (4), Robert (3), William (2), William (1)], worked in their father's machine shop before opening their bicycle shop and then their own machine shop called Dodge Brothers in Detroit in 1901. They made parts for the Olds Motor Works and the Ford Motor Company. When Ford refused to buy them out in 1914, the Dodge Brothers produced their own automobile and by 1920 produced around one-half million cars. In 1917 they sold their Ford stock to Ford for $27,000,000.00.
John F. Dodge was a businessman and an organizing and administrative genius. Horace Elgin Dodge was a technical and mechanical genius. Perhaps the reason they worked well together was their differing abilities and the realization that each one needed the other's talents. The National Cyclopedia of American Biography said "they were almost inseparable in matters of importance. Neither acted without the other's approval..."

Horace was born May 17, 1868, and died December 10, 1920 in Palm Beach, Florida. In 1868, he married Anna Thompson . Their children were Delphine Ione (wife of James H. R. Cromwell) and Horace Elgin, Jr.

John Francis was born October 25, 1864 and died January 14, 1920 in Manhattan, N. Y. He married Ivy S. Hawkins of Detroit, Michigan on September 22, 1892 who died in 1901. Their three children were Isabel Cloves, Winifred, wife of William J. Gray, Jr. and John D. Dodge. He married Matilda Rausch, December 10, 1907 and their children were Frances M., Daniel George and Anna Margaret.

Both John and Horice were born in Niles, Michigan and their efforts not only made them rich men but boosted the economy of their native state.

The Dodge Family as noted in my post below is documented to be Baptist, unless there is documented proof that they converted to Judism, they remained Baptist. I traced the family tree back to those posts and the Dodge Baptist Minister who wrote to Jeffereson, just read the the tree line for yourself at http://www.dodgefamily.org/DodgeBrothers.shtml and you can see for yourself. It is the proof positive that they were English Protestants.
