Virginia is the person who found the picture of the Nickels/Bellamy House and has written up a short lineage ....maybe some of you connect to her lines.....Betty From: Va [email protected] To: [email protected] Dear Betty - Thanks for posting the picture on the web site. Hope it will bring some response. My husband's line is as follows: Francis H Jones, III (b 14 Sep 1923 d 11 Apr 1994) and m 4 Oct 1947 Virginia Weathers (b 19 May 1923) was son of Ellie Octavia Solomon (b 17 Oct 1897 d 20 Feb 1957) and Francis H Jones Jr (b 13 Oct 1895 d 4 Aug 1949) and they m 14 Sep 1921). Ellie Octavia Solomon was daughter of Samuel Asa Solomon (b 26 Oct 1859 d 29 Sep 1918) and Mary Barnett (b 25 Oct 1864 d 12 Dec 1955) and they m 22 Oct 1884. Samuel Asa Solomon was son of Marcus J Solomon (b 11 May 1839 d 1 Apr 1901) and Clara Octavia Stanley (b 30 Jun 1835 d 23 Aug 1912) and they m 17 Nov 1858. Clara Octavia Stanley was daughter of Octavia Nickels (b 1810 d 1870) and Asel Stanley (b 1800 d 1845) and they m 19 Sep 1834. Octavia Nickels was daughter of William Nickels (b 12 Jan 1766 d 30 Oct 1815) and Jane McCobb (b 24 Sep 1775 d 30 Nov 1812) and they m 1796. Have some data on ancestors of William and his wife Jane if you would like. Now the Solomon line with connections in Jackson County is as follows: Marcus J Solomon was son of Samuel Ludwig Solomon (b 14 Jul 1806 d 18 Apr 1859) and Sarah Watson (b 12 Aug 1815 d 14 Sep 1888) and they m 1 Jan 1833. Sarah Watson was daughter of Richard L Watson and Jane Burch. Jane Burch was daughter of John Burch and Sarah Phillips (11 Jul 1758 d 1840). Sarah Phillips was daughter of George Phillips and Hannah Unknown. Marcus J Solomon married second 25 Feb 1869 Amanda Valonia (b 12 Dec 1846 and d 12 Apr 1927). They had seven daughters and lived in Bristol, Liberty County, Florida. I have sent to the Florida Archives of Civil War Pesion records of Marcus. Just discovered last week that he was in the Civil War. Three of his brothers are shown in Chisolm's Company I, 5th Florida Cavalry according to Dale Cox data. Sarah Watson Solomon is in the 1885 Jackson County census with son John Z and John Z's wife is in some later census records. Old data I have states Sarah Watson Solomon is buried in Sneed, Florida. The two year old Octavia shown as daughter of Mr and Mrs R W Stanley is probably a granddaughter of Octavia Nickels Stanley as she had two sons but have not located them in later census records. Also have note from History of Henry County which shows Octavia N Stanley as a Postmistress for Columbia Oct 1866 - Jul 1869 so she may have moved to that area from Marianna. Regards and let me hear from you if I can furnish any additional data - Virginia
