CHRISTIANA DODGE "GRANDFATHER" HENRY DODGE "UNCLE AUGUSTUS" AUGUSTUS C. DODGE JOHN DEMENT MARY LOUISE DODGE DEMENT ~ . \ '" HENRY DODGE DEMENT MRS.. MARY. WILLIAMS DEMENT (BABY) HENRY DODGE RUGG HEZEKIAH WILLIAMS THE DODGE FAMILY ln 1661, Tristr.am or Trustarum Dodge-, the ancestral founder of the Dodge family in America, was one of fifteen. settlers of Block Island, whi~h had always. been inhabited by Indians. It is located off the coast of ·Rho~e- Island and only eight miles long-and three mile~ wide. Tri·stram Do~ge came from-~is ho~e in No-rthern England near the River ·TWeed to New Foundl_and in 1647 a~d then migrated to the American Colonies. He had four sons, of whom one was I-sra.el, who· sold his land to his brothers and ·migrated to New London, Connecticut, in 1720. · John was one of his five sons, born in 1689. He moved to Colchester, and then Canterbury, Connecticut, lived to be eighty years old and had eleven children. ·The third child, John, Jr. , born in 172 3, be- . came a blacksmith and made farm irnpl~m~nts o·f superior quality. For many years he lived at Canterbury, where the family were regular attendants at the Baptist Church. He was thrice married; and it is said that in his correspondence he compared his wive_s to "Heaven, Earth and Hell." Eight children were born of the first wife, and the _father sometimes gave their names in the following rhyme: Jordan and John, Israel, the third son, was the father Israel and Josiah, of Henry Dodge. He was born at Canter­ Lydia and Elizabeth, bury, Connecticut, September 3, 1760. Jerry and Miah. Thank goodness! Our line came from "Heaven," because the Dodges we.re known for high tempers, anyway. Israel Dodge, at the age o·f fifteen, started to wander. He visited the coast of Africa on board a slaver. Two years later he joined the Revolutionary troops from Connecticut. O~ Septe~er 11, 1777, he was wounded in a hand-to-hand fight with a Britisher at the Battle of Brandywine (he was wound,ed in the chest by a bayonet). Later, he served in the Continental Army as Second Lieutenant. In (_), he married Nancy Ann Hunter, the youngest of eight children born to Joseph and Molly Hunter, a sturdy Scotch-Irish couple who settled in Carlisle, ~ennsylvania, then ·emigrated to kentucky. "When but a girl of fifteen years, Nancy Ann occupied with her father's family -a fort in· Kentucky a few miles below the mouth of the Ohio River. !!'he stealth and trachery of the Indians made the cultivation of the soil extremely hazardous.· Frequently, the little gar.risen wa·s reduced to· almost starvation, havin~ not:hing to subsist on except.what could be reared and cultivated in little patches around the fort. Sometimes when the savages would relax . their watchfulness, a few of the bolder settlers would venture out and return with a pack of game for the hungry inmates. At other -6- ·times, they were so closely beleagured_ that they did not dare to venture outside the stockade.· su·ch was the situation when a ·favor­ ite co~ gave birth to a calf a short distance from the fort. ·Both animals were exposed· to danger by the sulking warriors; and so the settlers.help a hurried consultation. But, realizing the danger from the hidden Redskins, none of them would venture-outside. Then it was that, alone and unaided, Nancy Ann rushed forth and seized the calf in her arms, while all eyes were fixed upon her. Carrying the calf towards the fort, with the cow closely following afte·r, she advanced towards the stockade while a volley of arrows whistled around her. Amid the joy of those in the fort, all three reached the stockade in safety." Her sons and grandsons were very proud of their mother's heroism, but they had to become famous themselves before this story ever got into print. How different from acts of heroism nowadays! Israel and Nancy were married ( ) , probably.at Bardstown, Ken­ tucky. and went to live at the fort at Kaskaskia, Illinois. cap­ tured along with Fort Vincennes by George Rogers Clark (1778- 1779). There they joined Israel's older brother, John, who had been appointed Indian Agent at Kaskaskia by Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. He had been recommended by George Washington to congress as a man who might be useful in the West. When Nancy was about to have a baby, they decided to send her back to her mother in Kentucky with an expedition that ~as going that way. Nancy only reached Fort Vincennes, when her son was born in the home of a friend, Moses Henry, from whom he received hi•S; name, Moses Henry Dodge. After he became of age, he dropped the Moses. Salter's "A Heroine of the Revolution: Nancy Ann Hunter," in the Iowa Historical Records, Volume II, No. 2, pp. 261- , tells this story: "A few days after the birth of the child, a Piankshaw chief came in and said it could not be allowed to live in their country. and that he would dash out its brains. The mother plead for the life of her firstborn. Moses Henry explained that it was the 'papoose' of a -friend of his, whose 'squaw' was sojourning in his house -- that the child was born out of due time, while the mother was on the way to her people and that they would soon go on their journey. These· expostulations prevailed, the Chief at the same time·saying, 'Nit make lice: this little nit may grow up and bite_us,' a prophecy which came true. In gratitude to her benefactor, Mrs. Dodge gave his (that of Moses Henry) full name to the child." . This was the first time that Henry Dodge came near to death, and -7- when one considers all the battles he was· in. and the hazards o·f those pioneer days, it seems very remarkable that he lived to be eighty-five. years old. (Born October 12, 1782'; die.d, .1867). Another narrow es-cape. "When but fourteen years. of age" -- so runs the_ story -- "young Henry podge saw in a Kentucky village a brawny savage standing over the.prostrate form of a woman and threatened to scalp her with a butcher knife. Responding to the screams of the woman for help, the. lad seized a s·tone and with it felled the Indian to the ground. Believing that the Indian was dead and fearing revenge from the other Indians, Nancy Ann (his mother} warned the boy to flee _for his _life.- After spend1ng the night in a graveyard, he joined a band of pioneers bound for the West and soon reached the town of St. Genieve.11 !iere- Israel a,nd his brother John had gone and were prospering in the business of lead mining. In 1779, he was given a grant of land here py the King of Spain. In 1800, there was a_ retrocession by Spain of the vast empire of Louisiana to France, a~d its cession by Napoleon (April· 30, 1803} to the United States. On this land, Israel Dodge became rich with lead mining and trading and later owned mills, breweries and distilleries. In 1800. Henry Dodge mar.ried Christina McDonald, who was only fifteen years old. The two famil:ies had been friends in Kentucky before the McDonalds moved to ·"Bonne Homme Settlement" a few miles -west of St. Louis. They were cousins of ~arshal McDonald, ~ho was a Field Marshal of Napoleon and who came from Scotland. They-were the ones who .gave Grandmother May Dement (his mother May) the idea of ~aming Donald Knapheide. Israel Dodge became engaged with his brother John in making salt on the Saline River: traded down the Mississippi River with New Orleans (1804-1806): was appointed Sheriff of St. Genieve by Wil­ liam Henry.Harrison, then governor of Indiana and Louisiana terri­ tories. In 1a·o6, he ~ied, and "his .ashes re.pose near St. Genieve": he was forty-seven years old. Descendants of Nancy and Israel. Henry and one daughter (no hi-s­ tory). Nancy _Dodge married again, to Asael Linn. They had two children, Dr. Lewis Field Linn and a daughter. Dr. Linn became a U. s. Senator from Missouri at the same time-as his half-brother, Henry Dodge from Wisconsin, and the son of the latter,- Augustus Caesar Dodge, Whig from Iowa. On a large marker at this date (1963), which stands just ·south of St. Genieve on Highway 61, it· tells of these three senators as the most distinguished citizens of this old town (about thirty mites south of St. Louis on the Mississippi -8- River). Augustus Caesar Dodge (second son), born at St. Geni(:!ve (1812), died in Burlington, Iowa ( ) ; married Clara Ann Her·tish, 1837. Be was active with his father in all the Indian wars and became a senator from Iowa; (1842-46), he was Envoy Extraordinary and ministe~ tq Spain. The King and Queen of Spain gave him th~ir portraits -- Alfonse XIII.

    Military History Anniversaries 16 thru 30 June Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests Jun 16 1832 – Native Americans: Battle of Burr Oak Grove » The Battle is either of two minor battles, or skirmishes, fought during the Black Hawk War in U.S. state of Illinois, in present-day Stephenson County at and near Kellogg's Grove. In the first skirmish, also known as the Battle of Burr Oak Grove, on 16 JUN, Illinois militia forces fought against a band of at least 80 Native Americans. During the battle three militia men under the command of Adam W. Snyder were killed in action. The second battle occurred nine days later when a larger Sauk and Fox band, under the command of Black Hawk, attacked Major John Dement's detachment and killed five militia men. The second battle is known for playing a role in Abraham Lincoln's short career in the Illinois militia. He was part of a relief company sent to the grove on 26 JUN and he helped bury the dead. He made a statement about the incident years later which was recollected in Carl Sandburg's writing, among others. Sources conflict about who actually won the battle; it has been called a "rout" for both sides. The battle was the last on Illinois soil during the Black Hawk War. Jun 16 1861 – Civil War: Battle of Secessionville » A Union attempt to capture Charleston, South Carolina, is thwarted when the Confederates turn back an attack at Secessionville, just south of the city on James Island.
