NATHANIEL L. DODD was born January 12, 1827, on the place where he now 
resides.  In January 1850, he went to California, where he engaged for 
two years successfully in mining, after which he returned to Barren 
County, his present home.  He is the son of John Dodd, a native of 
Culpeper County, Va., who was born November 7, 1794; removed in 1797 
with his parents to Kentucky, and in 1800 to Barren County, where he 
died in 1851.  His father, John Dodd, married Sallie, daughter of 
William Settle, of Barren County.  She was born in Virginia in 1795 and 
died in 1852, and from their union sprang Mary A. (Davidson), James A. 
(deceased), Elizabeth (Williams), William F., Squire B., Nathaniel L., 
Sarah A. (Settle), George C. (deceased), Beverly W. (deceased), Simpson 
F. (deceased), and Virginia (Alexander).  February 22, 1853, Nathaniel 
L. married ELizabeth J., daughter of Meriwether and Lucy L (Lewis) 
Spillman of Barren County.  She was born in 1832 and died May 20, 1873. 
Their children are Lewis, Lucy C. (Parker), John A., Willie and Mary F.  
Mr Dodd is a farmer, having 100 acres of productive land in a good state 
of cultivation.  In religion he is a Baptist; politically he was an old 
line Whig, but is now a Democrat.
