Martha Melvina died on 2 Jan 1933; Regarding Solomon's birth date, my notes state the following: "Records indicate date of birth was 21 Oct 1782, however stone inscription states death was 8 Dec 1858, aged 76Y, 11M, 29D [thus making the d.o.b. 10 Dec 1781]. Stone inscription could have been mis-read". I have a tendency to believe the stone inscription, even though the person who figured out the months, years and days may have gotten totally confused.
