Grady Correction for South Dolly (Bizer's Penny)
You correctly listed 2 homes for South Dolly and noted that Bizer does not list this island. Bizer lists it as Penny. However, if you go to Google Earth you will see Dolly Island listed and the Island to the South and East, which is completely divided by water until the lake level reaches below 503' marked as Penny. Now look behind Penny (as listed by google) and you will see another small island with no name. It is about 400 sq foot and has a 340 sq ft house on it 2 trees and a dock. That my friend is an island and it's name is Penny Island! What Bizer and Google call Penny (I'm sure Google picked it up from Bizer or Duncan) is known to the locals as South Dolly.
If you go to the Meredith web site and access the tax assessment put in Penny Island for a street address. Two listings will come up #1, #6. Two buildings are listed for #1 (South Dolly). These are owned by the same person but rented seperately and they are on opposite sides of the split in the island. They used to be owned by the Patterson Family. Number 6 is on the real 400 sq ft Penny island. Penny island is seperated from South Dolly by over 30 feet of water and no matter how low the lake I have never seen it connected to South Dolly. Maybe Bizer should go take a look. Be careful though as the chart is correct about the numerous shallow rocks. Penny has a dock and Carl Linstrom who owns the Island can even navigate them in the dark.
By my count that's Dolly-2, South Dolly-2, and Penny-1
