### Birth in a One-Room Cabin

Family Cabin, Locust Ridge, Sevier County, Tennessee, United States

Dolly Rebecca Parton is born in a one-room log cabin on the banks of the Little Pigeon River, the fourth of twelve children. Her father, a sharecropper, pays the doctor for the delivery with a sack of cornmeal—an anecdote she would recount throughout her life with the pride of one who transformed a debt of survival into a founding legend.
