Kelly, I noticed your last name: Culpepper. Where did your Culpeppers come from? My great great great grandmother was supposed to have been Sarah Culpepper from South Carolina, but years of searching by many people have not turned up any information on her. Does anyone know anything about the little town of Dotson, Texas? I think it was in Panola County. I would be interested in knowing if it is still there, and something about when the school closed.

Jo Ann Texas Handbook on line DOTSON, TEXAS. Dotson, on Farm Road 1971 some fourteen miles southwest of Carthage in southwestern Panola County, is in a cotton and lumber producing area that was settled before the Civil War.qv A post office operated at the community from 1915 to 1921. In the mid-1930s Dotson had nine businesses, a school, a church, a number of houses, and an estimated population of twenty. Its reported population increased to fifty in the 1940s. After World War IIqv the town declined, and by the early 1970s only a store and a few houses remained in the area. In the early 1990s Dotson was a dispersed rural community with about forty residents. The population remained the same in 2000. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Leila B. LaGrone, ed., History of Panola County (Carthage, Texas: Panola County Historical Commission, 1979).
