Solomon Dodson

Solomon Dodson was an early settler of the Big Bottom community of White County. Initially having come to Hickory Valley, he soon relocated to Big Bottom, where he cleared a canebrake north of the later site of Dodson's Chapel Church, where he grew corn for 22 consecutive years.
Dodson's method of corn cultivation was described as this:"He laid off the land, covering it with two furrows; later he plowed up the middles. This was the only cultivation and the tassels would show just a little above the weeds. In the fall he would gather large ears and take a supply of them to a still up the river and bring back a barrel of whiskey. Then he would live happily until the spring time planting."Seals, Monroe. History of White County. Unknown: Unknown, 1935.
