Notes

Note NI1226Thomas, the father of him whose name (James T) heads this column, became a school teacher, and owing to limited space we now follow his fortunes to Greene County, where he became a resident in 1810. He was a pioneer of considerable learning for the period of time in which he lived, devoting much of his time to school teaching and farming; he became a consistent member of the Methodist Church, and was identified with many public orders, as the Sons of Temperance, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and Masonic. He was married to Miss Sarah Taylor, a daughter of Tubba Taylor, who became one of the pioneers of Greene Co., and probably established the first blacksmith shop in this portion of the West. Going back to the thread of our narrative.this marriage occurred in 1833, and was blessed with three children. The eventful life of Thomas Dodson ended on the 25th of November, 1855, and he was laid at rest in the cemetery of old Kane, and where the ashes of his wife now repose, Mrs. D. having passed away, August 21, 1878.
