Hi, again-disconnected by local ISP while sending; hope you don't receive duplicates. Ann Hi, Need clarification of birth and baptismal dates for these two sons of Solomon Deitz and Elizabeth Deitz- Per "Catawba Cousins", Vol. 1, No. 1, pp 15-16 (plus other sources) dates are as follows: Christian Frederick Deitz born 10 January 1827; baptized 31 March 1827 (m. Lucinda Caroline Reitzel) Jonas Conrad Deitz born 25 April 1827; baptized 6 May 1827 (no further data) There were two Solomon Deitz/Dietz in Lincoln Co., NC that I'm aware of-there might be others- Solomon Dietz, Sr. 5 Oct 1762-1822 with at least two wives: (1) Anna Barbara Krimmer; (2) Elizabeth Huffman And, their son, Solomon Deitz, Jr. 1793-1871 who m. Elizabeth Deitz. Is it possible that the first or second Solomon Deitz "adopted" one of the above children? Thanks for any insight. Ann Propst, Brevard, NC
