History
Thomas Crewe Dod was the eldest son of Thomas Dod of Edge. The family had held Edge Hall in Malpas, Cheshire for hundreds of years. He married Anne, daughter of Ralph Sneyd of Keele, Staffordshire in 1786 and they had eight children. He joined the 16th Light Dragoons in 1775 as a Cornet, serving in America with them from 1776 to 1778. After returning to England he was made Captain with the 23rd Light Dragoons which in 1782 became the first British cavalry regiment to land in India. In 1786 after being promoted to Major, Dod resigned, leaving India to look after his estates in Cheshire.
