Jacob Richards Dodge was born in New Boston, N. H., September 28, 1823, and was a frequent and valued contributor to magazines and newspapers, and author of several books. Nathaniel Massie (1763 – 1813) was a frontier surveyor in the Ohio Country who became a prominent land owner, politician, and soldier. He founded fourteen early towns in what became the State of Ohio, including its first capital, Chillicothe. Captain Samuel Brady (1756–1795) was a frontier scout and the subject of many legends in the history of western Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio. He is best known for jumping across a gorge over the Cuyahoga River to escape pursuing Indians in what is present day Kent, Ohio. This jump is still remembered as "Brady's leap". Jonathan Alder (1773 – 1849) was an American pioneer, and the first white settler in Madison County, Ohio. As a young child living in Virginia, Alder was kidnapped by Shawnee Indians, and later adopted by a Mingo chief in the Ohio Country. He lived with the Native Americans for many years before returning to the white community.

journalist agricultural statistician
Jacob Dodge was born on September 28, 1823 at New Boston, New Hampshire, United States. He was the son of Captain Jacob D. Dodge and Tryphena (Colburn) Dodge. He was a descendant in the seventh generation of Richard Dodge, who emigrated from Somerset, England, in 1638 and settled in Salem, Massachusetts. At an early age he moved with his family to Nashua, New Hampshire.
At an early age Dodge moved with his family to Nashua, New Hampshire. His education was obtained in common schools and academies.
Dodge was editor and publisher of the Oasis, Nashua, New Hampshire, from 1850 to 1854, and of the American Ruralist, Springfield, Ohio, from 1857 to 1861.
On the organization of the United States Department of Agriculture in 1862, he entered its employ, becoming editor, and in May 1866, statistician.
He continued to serve, however, as editor. The early annual reports of the Department were edited by him as were also the monthly reports of the Division of Statistics. The principal features of the latter were the crop reports, but they also included a large amount of miscellaneous and valuable statistical matter. Dodge soon became eminent among American statisticians and held a foremost place in all statistical matters relating to agriculture.
In 1873 he spent the summer in Europe, under a commission front the Department of Agriculture for investigating the statistical methods of European countries, and as one of the commissioners to the Vienna World’s Exposition by appointment from the State Department.
He resigned his position in the Department of Agriculture in 1878, intending to reenter agricultural journalism, but was induced by the secretary of the treasury to accept a temporary commission for the investigation of commercial agriculture.
In 1879 he took charge of the agricultural statistics of the Tenth Census, under General Francis A. Walker, superintendent. Two years later he was recalled to his former position as statistician of the Department of Agriculture.
Under a special congressional appropriation he attended the session of the International Statistical Institute in 1887 as a delegate from the Department of Agriculture.
A study of the history of the Department of Agriculture shows the large part he took in its early development. He finally resigned his position on March 20, 1893, shortly after the change of administration.
He was a frequent contributor to magazines, newspapers, and the farm press, and the author of several books.
After his retirement he joined the editorial staff of the Country Gentleman as statistical editor, which position he held until his death.

In politics Dodge was a Republican and in his unofficial writings an avowed and ardent protectionist. He was at one time treasurer of the American Protective Association and prepared several brochures on protection for distribution by protectionist organizations.
During his more than thirty years of official service Dodge won not only the esteem and confidence of his associates, but recognition by the public at large as a man of rare attainments, broad views, sound judgment, and sterling quality.
In October 1846 Dodge married Frances G. Buxton of Nashua, by whom he had one child, Charles Richards Dodge.
