Elizabeth married William Sobakiehl [Savacool] and her first born son was named after her stepfather Jacob and his baptizm witnessed by him. Her second child was named Joseph for her father. She was 32 when she married Jacob Dodderer on Feb. 12, 1763. Her husband Jacob was one of the first to settle on the Paulinskill. The river ran right through his property. He owned 1300 acres in New Jersey. Andover Furnace is just to the east. The Paulinskill River pretty much runs along the Hwy 521. Jacob was 80 when he died in 1813 and she died in 1811 age 81. Her birth and death information is taken from her tombstone.

Sussex County was formed out of Morris County in 1753. In 1824 Warren county was formed from its southern part. It is 27 miles long and 21 broad. It is bounded on the north by Orange County, NY and on the west by the Delaware River. The Blue mountains run through the western part and the Wawayanda and Hamburg mountains are in the NE. part of the county. It is one of the best agricultural areas of the state and Iron, zinc and marble and many rare minerals exist in the county. 1755 was the French and Indian War. The Iroquois or Six Nations of New York, the and the hereditary enemies of the Delaware and Susquehanna Indians, were the firm allies of the English. The French dominated the waterways. On November 11, 1755, Governor Jonathan Belcher sent to Col. Van Campen the following instructions: "Sirs, I just now received your good letter of the 7th inst., as I hope you have before now my order of the 6th of the same month. I will approve of what you propose, of marching with your regiment into the next Province in order to meet and repel the enemy before they enter into the Jerseys. In this matter I desire you to be very vigilent and dilligent in giving me notice of all your proceedings, and per express if necessary. I am, Sir, Your Assured Friend, J. Belcher.

When the army of the Revolution transferred their headquarters from Morristown to Newburg, their course lay through the villiage of Lafayette, and tradition relates that a detachment encamped near the Klackner bridge, that crosses the Paulinskill, for the night. Their horses were fed with hemp and hay intermixed with daisies, the seed of which was diseminated and later became so luxuriant in its growth as to make extermination a matter of great difficulty.

Of interest during this time, on August 8th, 1744, David Brainerd, the missionary wrote; "...when I spoke to one and another more particularly, whom I perceived under concern, the power of God seemed to descend upon the assembly "like a rushing mighty wind," and with an astonishing energy bore down all before it...almost all persons, of all ages, were bowed downed together,..there were almost universally praying and crying for mercy in every part of the house." David preached to the Indians in New Jersey. Stillwater was formed from Hardwick, Warren Co., in 1824. It is hilly, and the Blue Mountain runs on the NW boundary. It is on the Paulinskill. Hardwick was at one time the seat of justice for Sussex Co., and was known as "the Log Jail." The county seat was moved to Newton in 1765. Henry was born the year after the Boston Massacre. The year he married Alice, was the year of the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania.

His father died when he was 10 months old. He never told anyone about his four older sisters and 3 half sisters (Willson's). He made up a story about being born in Germany. He wasn't. He pioneered in Addison Twn., near Leonard, Oakland County, Michigan in 1835/1837 then went on to pioneer in Douglas County, Kansas circa 1855-59. [Family all say 1855] His baptism is recorded in the Stillwater Presbyterian Church, Stillwater, NJ on June 22, 1803.

Andreas in "The History of Kansas", 1883. http://www.kancoll.org/books/cutler/ KANSAS COLLECTION BOOKS William G. Cutler's [was first published in 1883 by A. T. Andreas, Chicago, IL.] He ran a restaurant for the Butterfield Stage stop. He had a run in with Jesse James. Grandpa Peter was resting on his porch when Jesse road up and told him to get up and get him a drink of water. He told him to get it himself. When they moved the family cemetery in order to build a road, his body was said to have turned to stone. He was a hard working, no nonsense man. Peter didn't like the route the stages took after they stopped to change teams and eat. Once, it was said, he took his gun from above the door and ambled out to stop them. As he approached the coach, he saw four guns aimed at him from inside and wisely decided to wait in pressing his claims. When the spring rains arrived, he listed ridges across the road and thus forced the drivers to change their roue a short distance south to the Old Santa Fe Trail. DOUGLAS COUNTY, Part 38 LAPEER. Lapeer is situated in the southwest part of the county, near the headwaters of Rock Creek, on gently undulating prairie.

Jacob Dodderer Will / Division of land Author: Tina Keppler Date: 9 Aug 2001 12:01 AM GMT Surnames: Dodder, Dodderer, Dudder Classification: Deed In Reply to: Yellow Frame Church and Dodderer stones by: Tina Keppler There is so much here that it is going to get tricky to include all of the information. I have to go get a Corona before I start. (Yes, with lime). Okay, this is what I have here: Jacob Dodderer's will dated 2/22/1813. Wife Lydia was alive when the will was written...Main part of the estate goes to his granddaughter Elizabeth Lane (daughter of Jacob [not right...])..she gets 800 dollars. The remainder looks like it gets split in half between Abraham and the heirs of Henry Dodder. I have also Jacob Dodder's land division, where the land is divided between Abraham and the heirs of Henry...and then another land division where Henry's heirs divide the land. All very interesting! They also come complete with maps which I will scan in and attach to this e-mail. The children of Henry are Peter, Esther, Catharine, Lydia and Anne Marie (from what I can tell). The original parcel that was owned by Jacob Dodder in Hardwick was right on the Paulinskill River...the river cuts directly through the middle. There are two dwellings that I can see...One is right on the river and was the parcel given to Abraham along with 205 acres. The other parcel of land that went to the heirs of Henry was 270 acres and the dwelling was some distance from the river. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out where this was. I would say along the Paulinskill between Stillwater and Blairstown...not too far from the village of Stillwater...There used to be a road that ran along the river...but there are only pieces of it left today and you have to go by foot or horse. If you ever get up here, I will show you all of these sights. As for the other division...between the heirs of Henry, it looks like Peter got the most 72 acres or so...and the girls all got around 50 acres each...totalling the original 271 acres. I also have Jacob Dodder's inventory...totalling 535$ but the handwriting is hard to read. It can be done...and it is neat to see what he did own. I will leave it up to you to decifer this. I also have Henry Dodder's inventory...and he owned quite alot. Much more than his father...Was his wife Alice? That is the name on here with Abraham as the witness to the inventory. Total inventory valued at 686.69. Sounds like a great house! They had all of the colonial items that we all kill for today. You will love this! Next I have Abraham Dodder's inventory and accounting. This one is not so easy to read. If you come to town to do research, you can see the original books. I will have to notify the clerk that you are coming and she will retrieve the books out of storage. He also owned a ton of stuff... .Lastly I have the court papers for the Orphans court..on behalf of Peter Dodder, son of Henry. Apparently he switched guardians almost immediately after being placed. He was first given into the custody of Enos Coursen May 1819. Later that year, Isaac Coursen is appointed his guardian. *Tina Keppler Enos died that year and that is why the custody was changed. He was probably named after his grandfather Peter Wintermute and his father Henry. Why was he is an orphan? Peter was born on April 30, 1803. His dad died when he 14 months old on February 20, 1804. His mother remarried John Willson in about 1805. He had three half sisters born to John Willson. He had four older sisters born to his father. His sisters: Esther Dodder m. John Roy Lydia Dodder m. Bowdewine Van Auken Catherine Dodder m. Ensley Roy Anne Marie Dodder m. Tunis Tunison His half sisters: Hannah Willson m. George Cook Elizabeth m. a Hazen Margaret Willson m. Abraham Struble, Peter's wife Margaret Struble's brother! In the 1850 Census for Oakland County, Michigan, a Peter Dodder, age 55, was in jail for perjury at the time the census was taken. Our Peter would have been 52. ************************************************* 1850 United States Federal Census Dodder, Peter State: Kansas Year: 1859 County: Douglas Roll: Township: Marion Twp Page: 3 Image: Kansas Census, 1850-90 DODDER, PETER State: KS Year: July 7, 1870 County: Douglas County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule Township: Marion Township.

Notes for JACOB STRUBLE DODDER: Jacob had about 500 acres in sections 14, 15, and 23 in Argentine. They moved there about 1855. In 1868-69 and 1872 and 1873, he held the office of township-treasurer. From 1874 to 79 he was the supervisor of this twp. He was Justice of the Peace in 1864 and Commissioner of Highways in 1860. * Info from the 'History of Genesee County Michigan], printed at Philadelphia by Everts and Abbout, in 1879. In the early days, it took a week to go to town and back for supplies. There would be pies in the pantry to eat, but you could only take from those that were all ready cut. They had servants, but when Jacob came home, no matter what the time was, the boys had to come out and take care of the horses and carriage. They each had to take turns getting up in the morning to light the fire. He and Sarah were married in Holly, Michigan and settled in Argentine. He was found in the 1860 Census for Genesee County, Argentine, MI. The Dodder District [School] was in the township of Argentine. For the winter term -- Five Months, Nov. 1894-- Apr. 1895, the Class Motto: "Energy Wins the Way." Teacher - Jas. W. Crosby. District Officers were: Director-S. Montgomery. Assessor-A. Fields. Moderator-J. Dodder. The names of the Pupils were: Sarah Judson, Anna Fields, Leonard Stiff, Roy Tunningley, Jake Judson, Mina Brooks, Gracie Stiff, Sarah Fields, Beulah Chase, Ernest Dodder [son of Jacob Dodder], George Gilliespie, Alex Gilliespie, Willie Brooks, Eva Fields, Jane Large, Allie Beard, Otto Chase, Maggie Newton, Mary Tunningley, Elton Bently, Jake Fields, Gracie Brooks, Sylvia Smith, Myrtie Brooks, Viola Luce, Alpha Dodder [George Dodder's son], Murry Chase, James Gillespie, George Bently, Ida Austin, Gracie Whitehead, Ben Whithead, Bob Chase, Willie Tunningley. *The Fields children were probably Frances Dodder Fields children. The Gillespie children were probably Abi's children and the Judson children were probably Genievie's children. Of Interest: The year before Jacob was born, (1830) Andrew Jackson was elected President. The Trail of tears took place 1832-37, Texas Independence 1836, Mexican War 1845, Compromise of 1850, Gadsden Purchase 1853, Civil War 1860-65, financial panics in 1817, 1837, and 1857, and the Whitman's were killed by Indians in Oregan 1847. Family has passed down the story that he had a lot of money and gave each of his children substantial gifts when they got married except for Howell. He had apparently married outside of their wishes. Jacob later lost a lot of money in the stock market and while in the kitchen one day, took a knife and slit his throat. His poor wife............. He died at the age of 73 years, one month and 29 days. He was buried by the Bowles Bros. in Linden, Michigan. The attending doctor was M. A. Tibbets of Linden, Michigan. In a letter from Mrs. Robert A. Struble [Vivian G.] she says that Robert K. Struble and Jake Dodder worked on material for a family book. Robert wrote about it in his diary. Allen Struble lived for a while in a home that both R. Struble and J. Dodder owned back and forth. The Struble family lived in both Michigan and Trumbull County, Ohio.

Pages 230 - 236 Transcribed by Ed Van Horn JACOB S. DODDER, a prominent and well-to-do farmer, is a native of Sussex County, N.J. and was born February 5, 1830. The father, Peter Dodder, was born in Germany in 1804, and was brought to America by his parents the same year. They settled in New Jersey, where both spent the remainder of their days. Peter Dodder, upon coming to Michigan, settled in the township of Addison, Oakland County, where he brought land and cleared a farm, being one of the first settlers of the township. He was an active and industrious man and made great progress in the clearing and improving of this property. In 1857 he removed to Kansas where he resided until his death in 1875. The mother of our subject bore the maiden name of Margaret Struble, and she was born in New Jersey, June 20, 1807. Her parents came from Germany. She is still living as are all of her ten children. The limited educational privileges enjoyed by our subject were those afforded by the primitive log schoolhouse, and as the country was in his boyhood quite new and sparsely inhabited, only a few months of school could be afforded each years. The youth remained at home until he came of age, after which he worked out for a few years, and in the spring of 1855 came to Argentine Township, this county, where he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of partially improved land. Here he at once began the vocation of a farmer and has since devoted himself assiduously to that line of work, compelling by his energy and industry such prosperity that he is now one of the wealthy men of the county. Jacob S. Dodder was in 1854 united in marriage with Sarah Mann who was born in New Jersey but came with her parents to Michigan in 1837. Their children are: Frances, who is the wife of Alpheus Fields, a farmer in this township; George M., deceased; Arnold, who is married and a prosperous farmer here; Annie, now Mrs. Lanta Stevens of Linden; Veve, who married George Judson, a wellto-do farmer; Abi, the wife of William Gillespie living in the twnship of Mundy, and Nye , Howell, and Earnest, who are all at home. The political sympathies of Mr. Dodder have brought him into line with the Democratic party, of whose doctrines he is a staunch supporter and he wields no small influence in the county, being frequently made a delegate to county, district and State Convention. He has served as Supervisor for seven years and has also been for some time both Treasurer and Highway Commissioner. For over thirty years he has been prominently identified with the Masonic order. His three hundred and sixty acres of land are finely improved and besides this has parted with considerable to his sons. He raises all kinds of stock of improved grades and has an attractive and commodious home, substantial barns and other like improvements upon his farm.

Dodder (50), a farmer, was living in Argentine, Genesee County, Michigan, with his wife Sarah (45), and their children George (18), a farm laborer, Arnold (17), a farm laborer, Anna B. (16), Genevieve (14), Morgan (12), Abi (9), Nye (8), Howell (6), and Ernest (1). Jacob and Sarah as well as their parents were all born in New Jersey. The children were all born in Michigan. Also living with them was Adolph Johnson (25), a farm laborer, born in Sweden of Swedish parents. In 1892, Nye, Howell, and Ernest were still living at home. More About JACOB STRUBLE DODDER: Burial: April 05, 1903, Fairview Cemetery, Linden, Michigan-at High & Tickner Roads Cause of Death: Sclerosis of kidneys with uremic convulsions Fact 1: Buried in Linden Cemetery. Notes for SARAH MANN: Death and birth date are from her headstone. Sarah was supposed to have brothers who were writters. I found written in Helen Dodder Dale's notes that Thomas Mann, born 1875, and Heinrich Mann, born 1871 were her brothers. I do not believe this is so, since there is 40 years difference in their births and I can find no link. Since Earnest, George, Anna and Rebecca Mann all bought property the same month and year and close to where Peter Dodder/Dudder bought property in Addison, Oakland County, Michigan in August of 1837, I assume that one of the two men were the father of our Sarah Mann. She named sons both names however! Also, Harvey Mann bought property in 1826, and John in 1835 and Lewis in 1825. Also nearby was Samuel Bassett who bought land in December of 1831. There was an Earnest Mann and his wife Margaret in Oakland County, Michigan in 1840 and 1850 with a Sarah. There was a financial collapse in 1857. 1870 Michigan Census Last Name First Name County Township Roll Page Mann A W Genesee Flint 671 131R Mann Charles Genesee Flint Ward 1 671 155 Mann Charles B Genesee Vienna 671 397 Mann Daniel Genesee Vienna 671 404R Mann George Genesee Davison 671 39R Mann Henry Genesee Davison 671 39R Mann Henry Genesee Vienna 671 404R Mann Moses Genesee Flint Ward 1 671 148 Mann Nathan Genesee Mount Morris 671 332 Mann William Genesee Mount Morris 671 332R Mann Charles Oakland Springfield 694-695 556 Mann Earnest/Earest Oakland Addison 694-695 105R Mann Edwin Oakland Milford 694-695 345 Mann Florence Oakland Orion 694-695 386R Mann George Oakland Oxford 694-695 402 Mann George Oakland Troy 694-695 567R Mann Hiram Oakland Addison 694-695 105 Mann Jacob Oakland Brandon 694-695 183R Mann Jefferson Oakland Springfield 694-695 559 Mann Joseph Oakland Oakland 694-695 373 Mann Mary E Oakland Commerce 694-695 195 Mann Nelson Oakland Orion 694-695 390 http://envoy.libofmich.lib.mi.us/1870_census/NextPage.asp?ComingFrom=SearchInputForm ********************************************************** ******************************** Michigan Land Patents Database Using this information, you can access the Bureau of Land Management web site and view a copy of the original document. http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ The document can be saved to disk, printed out, or merely viewed.

DODDER: Burial: Argentine Cemetery, Linden Rd., North side. Buried on west side. Notes for ROBERT KANADA STRUBLE: He and Jake Dodder worked together to write "The Dodder Family Record". His family lived in Trumbull County, Ohio where they moved from New Jersey. Robert was named after his maternal uncle. The spelling of Kanada is the German spelling for the country of Canada. He was the Commissioner of Highways in 1868, and 1871. He was also the Argentine Twp. Justice of the Peace. [History of Genesee County, Michigan] He and Catherine were second cousins. He kept diaries. Wish we could see some published. In his 1897 diary, Robert mentioned that they moved into the new house on Seymour Road in Argentine, Michigan on September 27. On March 20 in 1880, he wrote that they tore down the old house that day. His only son, Allen, lived down the road and his grandson Robert A. Struble, who lived at 1086 Pound, Flint Twp, was born there. He and Catherine were married on his 20th birthday, June 1, 1857. Her parents, Peter and Margaret Dodder, sold them 160 acres in 1868. Catherine's brother, Jacob, was supervisor of Argentine Twp. before Robert took the office. A school in Argentine was named for the Dodder family. In 1872 is when Robert kept his first diary, at the age of 35. The entries showed that he enjoyed life, was content to be a farmer and was conscientious in the duties of a supervisor and that he lived the life of a vigerous man. He kept the Sabbath. Only once did he mention doing work on the Sabbath day, and that was to care for a sick cow. On June 1, 1907, he wrote: At home, all friends here on the golden wedding. He recorded the deaths and funerals he attended, now and then mentioning a sale at the home of the deceased. He liked people and enjoyed visiting or being visited. He was an outdoor man in recreation as well as occupation, because every fall he went hunting, once as far away as Edmonton, Alberta. Fishing was likely to be any time, morning or afternoon, before or between farm chores. In 1876, he went to the national centennial celebration in Philadelphia. Howerver, the big week of July 4 was in the busiest season for a farmer, so he waited until September. He said it was cloudy and cool the first day, but the next day at the centennial grounds, it rained all day. Later in the week, when he went to Independence Hall, it rained 'by spells' all day. He attended rallies for both political parties. In January, 1872, the first year of the diaries, he 'went fishing, bought a sewing machine, cleaned out well, laid the platform on the well, filed the saw, got out fence caps, cut wood, got horses shod, got load of ice, 'drawed' hay, went to town with oats, took turkeys to Argentine.........' As spring came on, he mentioned the crops he was sowing, the orchards set, fence repair and burning stumps. In June, he sheared sheep and again cleaned the well. Keeping bees was one of his most demanding chores. It entailed looking for swarms of bees, building hives and frames for them....Late summer brought threshing days, helping at one neighbor after another. Autumn indicated a slowing down, with apples to pick and cider to make, cornhusking and gathering pumpkins. In October, 1872, he jotted down that Barnum's circus show was in town....His comments about the wearther include brief but descriptive phrases: 'Fine winter day, fine sleighing,' 'fearful cold;' 'snowed and blowed like split;' 'awful hot;' 'fine weather for corn.' The weather of Feb 10, 1885, with two feet of snow and a temperature of 26 below zero, elicited Struble's note: 'The worst snowstorm I ever saw." On July 4, 1902, he referred to heavy rains which 'flooded everything, roads washed out and every low place a lake." He was not exaggerating. The Journal called the rains disastrous to the farmers of Genesee County and said that 'in many parts of the county, wheat is sprouting, oats are down and the hay cut Saturday is lying under water." The article continued that the Thread Creek dam had washed out after the flood of July 3 and 4, and that Peer's wood yard was under two feet of water. Social gatherings mentioned included the farmer's picnic at Maple Island, the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Detroit, the Pioneer Picnic at Long Lake every August, going to the Dayton House in Flint for oyster supper. He told of going to Fox and Begole's mill, to Byron 'to look at Middleworth's place,' to Boutell swamp after whortleberies and on frequent winter Mondays to Softwater Lake to get ice for washing with. On April 20, 1904, he made an interesting comment, 'Went to Linden to see about a car.' He wrote on June 2, 1889, 'Went to Murrays to the scene of the murder. Five hundred people there. In the summer of 1910, he mentioned that 'ma', his wife, was very sick and on July 13, he wrote, 'Ma died a 1 p.m.' On the day of her funeral, he wrote, 'Laid Ma to rest. Very warm and rained a little." After her death his diary showed a new preoccupation with cooking and a lack of variety in the menu. In February of 1915, his diary entries stopped. He must have been sick and he died on September 21, 1915 at the age of 78. *This was from an article written about Robert K. in the Sunday, July 21, 1974 paper, 'The Flint Journal', Flint, Michigan. It had a picture of Robert K. and Catherine Struble and a picture of his grandson Robert and his wife Vivien.

January 08, 1840, Addison, Oakland Co., Michigan; d. Abt. 1901, Lapeer, Osage County, Kansas; m. PHILLIP SIMMONS; b. 1836, New Jersey; d. 1901, Marion, Kansas. Notes for ELMIRA DODDER: She grew up in Michigan when it was a wild wooded country. There were bears too. Once a bear followed her all the way to the school. The teacher saw what was going on and had the door open so she could get inside quickly. She was very "no nonsense" like her father Peter. If you were idle too long, she'd say "what do you think you're doing?!" She was living in Addison, MI when she married Philip. She came to Kansas later after the war, and helped her father Peter H. Dodder run a restaurant for the Butterfield stage line. First they kept horses and mules then little Spanish mules and would use six of those with a side rider and a stock whip. The next stop west was Burlingame. They cooked them flapjacks and coffee. She said the stage coaches passed just north of the Dodder cemetery, but that was moved later, in order to build a road through it. Her father bought the hill where they later lived and gave it to her and Phillip. It was very close to where he lived. And later his son Robert cared for the original place where Peter had pioneered. She had a big house with white walls, and the woodwork was painted a robin's egg blue. She was quite the gal. She did most of the work around the place taking care of everything from the garden to delivering the milk. They had Indians come by the place as late as 1894! They went to Texas for cattle and had a regular cattle drive that year. She let a traveling preacher stay at her house, and during the week's meetings, she was converted "saved" and then baptized. She would spend many evenings reading her Bible. She may have died in 1904. Neighbors they had were the Badsky family, Boss Burwood, Roy Mason and Jim Gay were a hired men. Sarah and Robert Dodder lived to the west a little, Jimmy Baker lived nearby. He came to Kansas with Peter Dodder in 1855. The first child born here in Lapeer, was Eli Baker, November 2, 1856; the first marriage was that of B. L. Oldham, to Miss Elvira Baker, in the year 1857. Her granddaughter Zoe thought she was really smart and knew how to do everything. In 1887, August, the US Coast and Geodetic Survey party set up on their Hill to sruvey. They were there from august 18 to September 19 and once of the colored boys died and they buried him right there. Elmira went to visit in Michigan about 1898 or so. In the family plot belonging to the Dodder's were also buried the Demings, Baldwins, Roys, Michael, and many others. Her parents and Phil's parents were buried there. On Decoration Day, they would all go to the cemetery and put flowers on the graves. Once when her granddaughter Zoe asked about why she was sad. She said, her mother, Grandma Dodder died when you, [Zoe] were just one year old. She told her it only seemed like yesterday. 'One never quite recovers from the loss of a mother.' She had a sister in law named Hattie. The fair was held in Overbrook. George Hart had a store and the bandstand would be set upnear it. She would gather the honey from the bees. Her granddaughter Zoe described it like this: "She wore Jim Gay's pants, Grandpa Phil's old jacket, an old straw hat she found somewhere, a big pink mosquito net over her hat, and some gloves. She let me tie strings over the top of her shoes so the bees couldn't get in, then around hergfloves and neck. She was the funniest looking woman in the world, she was. She grinned at me and wanted me to tell her how she looked, but I couldn't tell her for laughing." When she told this to her other grandma, grandma Thompson, her comment was, "I didn't know there was a man on The Hill who wore trousers big enough to reach around Elmira." The last time Zoe saw her grandma Elmira was when they went to church. Elmira, Louis, Helen and Zoe went. The little girs wore polka dot dresses and lacy straw hats trimmed with little bunches of forget me nots. Elmira wore a black lawn with a white pin strip; and Louis a summer lawn and each carried a fan. Elmira had lace mitts which were black and from which her fingers stuck out and Zoe wondered why mitts were made that way. In 1870 Marshall Dodder was living with them at the age of 22; stating he was a farm laborer and that he owned personal property worth $130.00. Also had someone name Arnze/Amzi Lacey 33 who was a farmer and owned real estate worth 600.00 and personal property worth 1,550.00.

JACOB5 DODDERER (ABRAHAM4 DODDER, LYDIE3 DILDINE, JOHANN GEORGIUS URIUS2, HANS JACOB1) was born November 02, 1800 in Sussex County, NJ, and died April 07, 1890 in Ottumwa, Iowa. He married SARAH STERLING 1823 in Warren County, New Jersey. She was born Abt. February 1801 in New York State, and died March 23, 1883 in Washington, Washington Co., Iowa. Notes for JACOB DODDERER: He was a pattern-maker, farmer, inventor, mill right. He is described as a small figure, lithe, active, tough as spiral twisted timber, kindly in mood. Father Dodder was a versatile man. He was an artist who specialized in making woodcuts. He was a horticulturist who took prizes for seedlings grapes of his own raising. He sold the first root beer in the county; it was made from his own recipe from roots he grew himself. He held U. S. patients on a churn, a washing machine, and weather stripping, and invented a number of other machines which he didn't bother to patent. When he died at his sons home in Ottumwa in April 1890, he was still tinkering around with his tools, Source Washington County History book entitled, 'In the Beginning There Was Land', by Kathy Fisher. From the same source--The thing that had created all the interest in good roads was, of course the automobile. The first car in the county was actually one that was invented in Washinton in 1869, and the Press of Sept. 1, reported: Mr. Jacob Dodder is putting up in Charley Millers shop, a three wheeled concern which has been running in his head for ten years. The front wheels are five feet high, the rear wheel about two and a half feet. On the axle he will put one heavy or two lighter springs, sufficiently powerful to propel the vehicle 25 miles per hour on level ground. For up-hill going a sort of hard-car power is used, in addition, which has two sets of gears, and 37 revolutions of the crank will carry it one mile. The springs are wound up by means of a treadle. A wrench lever attached to the rear wheel is used for rudder. His model is rigged to carry three persons. He believes it will be a success, and who knows that it will not supersede our hacks and dig-outs. Mr. D. will probably take a scoot around the square this week. That first trip was disasterous. Dodder started down South Marion lickety-cut, and below the tavern the thing wouln't gee and mind its rudder, and he and it went into the ditch, and it busted. He was hurt in the mix-up.
