Biography

Isaac Hodson "was born in Guilford County, N. C., Dec. 23, 1795, a son of Robert and Isabel (Frazier) Hodson, natives of North Carolina, of English descent. He lived on a farm in North Carolina till 1826, and then came to Indiana and located in Henry County, in what is now Spiceland Township. He bought 160 acres of heavily timbered land and went to work to clear and improve his farm. In the fall and winter of 1828 he taught a subscription school in his cabin. This was the first school in the neighborhood. Mr. Hodson has one of the finest farms in the township. Coming, as he did, in the early settlement of the county, he has noted all the improvements, and has seen the country grow from a state of nature to one of advanced civilization. He was married March 15, 1829, to Wilmet, daughter of Jacob Elliott. They have had five children—Sarah Ann (deceased), Jonas, Charles, Albert and one who died in childhood. Mrs. Hodson died in December, 1882. Mr. Hodson has lived a quiet life, never seeking or desiring the publicity of official life."[1]
