A history of Owego (

says John Dodd was a carriage maker born 1782, moved to Owego from New Haven, Connecticut. He married Susan Potter. William Dodd was their son. George was also a son.
Elias Seymour was son of Judge William Seymour, brother to Governor Horatio Seymour. Elias practiced medicine. The symbol on his side may be a masonic symbol, the compass.
The other decoration is for the most part standard: drapery, shaft of wheat, rose garland, clasping hands.
