Notes for Adam Daniel Hodam:
Adam Hodam moved to Roane County area in 1844 and reported there were only about 20 families living in New California (Spencer)
He was a pioneer preacher in Roane County
April 7, 1856 Adam Hodam was one of 11 justices of the peace in the county seat of New California
He owned a large tract of land in the Beaver Dam area. He built the first Hodam Chapel on land from his farm. He also operated the first post office from his home.
Regarding Civil War, he said: "My sympathy and personal influence was on the side of the South. I believed that the States had the right to decide for or against slavery and not federal power. Although believing slavery to be a great evil for which both the North and South were responsible, I opposed the Abolitionist Anarchists of that day who in defiance of law and justice proposed to steal our property and to trample the laws of our state and nation under foot. So in May, 1861, when Virginia decided to withdraw from the Federal Union, I cheerfully voted for secession."
