On page 42, Long Creek Twp. Decatur co. Iowa you will find the family of Lewis Solomon their oldest daughter is listed as Matilda, I have her as Lydia Marilda, she is said to have married Ruben Hicks, I suspect that the Hicks, Solomon also the Asa Rodgers family who is next to the Lewis Solomon family came from Indiana together in about 1852 or maybe as early as 1846, the Hicks family lived in Owen co. Ind. and the Solomon and Rodgers family lived in Putnum Co. Ind. The early Solomon's came from Tenn. as did the Hicks family, the families are linked by marrage to a Martin family is there a relationship of these families back in the early 1800's or in the late 1700's.
