Solomon Dodge and Family
Solomon Dodge was born in in 1767 in Vermont and came to Oxford in 1791 from Sidney in company with Daniel TUCKER. There were but two houses in the village at that time. He was in the employment of General HOVEY and worked under him in cutting the road from the Unadilla river to the Chenango at Oxford. His second coming to Oxford was in the fall of 1795 in company with Mrs. Jonathan BALDWIN, who came through from Egremont, Mass. At this time he settled on what is known as the Morse farm, owned by Alpha and Edward MORSE. Mr. Dodge made a small clearing, using the logs to build his first house, which had neither chimney or windows, excepting a hole in the roof and a blanket for a door. After he had cut the trees far enough away so that they would not fall on the building, he put up a second log house, which was considered quite luxurious, for it had doors, windows and chimney. He married Dorcas BURLINGAME not far from 1796, who was born March 12, 1766, in Vermont. She had one sister, Azubah, and one brother, Ritchison, who was the first surveyor of the town. Mr. Dodge sold out in 1802, to Daniel DENISON, and returned to Willet where he purchased a large farm, but meeting with many reverses, returned to Oxford after five or six years and settled west of the village in what is known as "Dodge Hollow," where he died of numb palsy in April, 1830. The only descendants of Mr. Dodge now living in Oxford, are Herbert EMERSON, B. M. EMERSON, and John E. JONES. Mr. Dodge was a lover of a good horse and in his day owned many fine ones. While living in "Dodge Hollow" he built a race track on his farm, which on many occasions called together the sportsmen of that day to witness the strife between the owners of fast stepers. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Dodge lived with her daughter, Mrs. Gideon LAWTON in McDonough, where she died in 1845. Children, all born in Oxford:
MARSHALL, married Abigail LAWTON, and was a clothier. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and when dying expressed a wish to be buried in Oxford, his birthplace. He was buried in the cemetery a mile and a half west of Oxford on the old State road. His grave like many other soldiers of that war, is uncared for. The greater part of his life was spent in McDonough.
HARRY, married Mary BLACKMAN, daughter of Elijah Blackman of Oxford; lived in McDonough for several years and then moved away, and all trace of him and his family has been lost.
POLLY, twin to Harry, married Gideon LAWTON, and lived for several years in Oxford, and then moved to McDonough where they both died. Children: Thomas, Eliza, Harry, Lucinda, and Russell, born in Oxford; Almira, William, and Charles, who died in boyhood, born in McDonough. All went to Pennsylvania, excepting Eliza, who married Moses EMERSON of McDonough, and Lucinda, who lived with her grandfather DODGE until she was fifteen. She married A. J. MOORE of McDonough.
RUSSELL, married Sally HAMILTON, conducted a tannery for several years in McDonough, and went to Steuben county and died in Addison.
MARTIN, married Betsey BARNES and lived and died in McDonough.
ALMIRA, married Charles BURLINGAME, a cousin, and moved to Willet, where they both lived and died.
