What do we know about Tola’s father and grandfather?

Judges 10:1 (ESV)

1 After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he lived at Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.

Beyond their names, Puah and Dodo, respectively, we know nothing else about them from Scripture. Tola is an obscure man from an obscure family.
