He is the grandson of Edmund Murray Dodd (1797-1876), who represented Sydney, Nova Scotia in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly and served as a Judge in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. He is also a descendant of David Mathews, the Loyalist Mayor of New York City under the British during the American Revolution.
