Since I have totally failed in finding the mystery man Moses Solomon, my gr. grandfather, b. 1805, NC, I will attack the problem another way. Sampson was born approx. 1813 in NC; on 1850 census he lived in Fentress County, TN in next household to Moses. He married Anna Beaty of Overton County, TN. I believe Moses and Sampson were brothers, or related. In 1860 census, still in Fentress County, Sampson had children, Artemia b. 1851, Ethelbert b. 1853, Thomas b. 1855, David b. 1856, Nancy b. 1857, Sarah b. 1859. Could not find him on census after 1860. Recognize any of these names? Carletta Keith

Hi All, Thank you for your input Ray. This kind of input from all interested parties may be what it takes to solve the mystery of the eaely Solomons.

Hello All, Harold, I would like to add one unofficial family to your 1790 census. They do not actually appear in the census but evidence strongly indicates that they were still in NC in 1790. John and Mary Solomon were in Northampton County on December 3, 1768 when they sold land to William Mitchell. This may or may not be the John Solomon that along with Peter Solomon witnessed a Bute county deed in August, 1772. In November, 1777, a deed from Richard Webb to George Solomon (Bute County) was witnessed by Isaac Solomon Jr. and John Solomon. Jonathan Salmon appears on the 1779, 1780, and 1781 Warren County tax lists. He is listed as Jonathan Solomon on the 1782 Warren County tax list. Are John and Jonathan the same person? John Solomon appears on the 1783 tax list for Halifax County. By February 1786, the NC state census shows Mary Solomon of Halifax County, district 13 as the head of the household. Mary's household contains four white males less than 16 or greater than 60 and two free white females (Mary and a daughter). It appears that John died between 1783 and February, 1786. On September 10, 1789, we find Deed #1042, page 105 in Franklin County. The deed reads - John Solomon of North Hampton Co., N. C. to Evens Andrews (Andress) of Franklin County for 20 pds. specie a tract of 100 acres in Franklin Co. Lying on the waters of Bear Branch adjoining Bustian, Hill, and Hall. The deed was also signed by Mary Solomon. Wit. Joseph Andress. This property is very near the James Solomon of 1790 Franklin County. It would seem to imply a relationship between John and Mary Solomon's family and the Solomons in Franklin County. Was this John Solomon Mary's husband or one of her elder sons. I suspect that it is her son John Solomon who is also likely the John Solomon in the 1790 census for Halifax County. The Barnes Solomon in Martin County is possibly one of her sons. Where was Mary in 1790? She could have remarried or may be living with one of her children. With no proof, I suspect that she is in either Orange or Caswell County, NC. The census for Orange, Granville and Caswell counties was lost. The 1790 census has a list of heads of households prepared from prior tax lists. I have spent a lot of research time in these counties and know that many families were missed on these lists. My only basis for suspecting that Mary was in Orange-Caswell County in 1790 is based on Alston Solomon born 1777/78 in NC who married Phoebe Browning of Caswell County. In looking at the 1790 NC families, most of the sons less than 16 are later identified or the head of household is too young to be Alston Solomon's father. Many Caswell county families migrated to Robertson County, TN between 1790 and 1805. Alston Solomon is in Bedford County TN in 1812, Robertson County, TN from 1814 to 1819, and back in Bedford County from 1820 until his death between 1840 and 1850. Alston Solomon in Bedford county, TN is next door to William Solomon's (d 1814) descendants in Lincoln County. I would welcome comments and corrections on the above text.

Hi All, Does anyone have information on a Williamson Solomon born abt 1804 and wife Susan. They were listed in the Roane County 1850 Census with their son William Wriley Solomon. Any help with this family is appreciated. Brenda *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ My hobby is genealogy, I raise dust bunnies as pets.

To help clarify the Solomons found in early NC. NC Taxpayers Solomon 1764 Richard Beaufort Co. 1764 William Beaufort Co. 1771 John Bute Co. 1771 John FWV Co.

Note: Bute Co. from Granville Co. in 1764. Bute abolished 1779 to form Warren and Franklin Cos.

Hello All, The 1790 Census for North Carolina has the following Solomons listed as heads of household: Barnes, Goodwin, Isham, John, William, William, James, and Lazarus. I have them as follows: Barnes Martin Co. (Unknown) Goodwin Franklin Co. (Son of William Jr.) Isham Edgecomb Co. (Son of William Sr.) John Halifax Co. (Unknown) William Franklin Co. (William Jr. son of William Sr. ) William Edgecomb Co. (William Sr. son of Lewis Sr. of VA) James Franklin Co. (Unknown) Lazarus Nash Co. (Son of Peter) I have no idea who Barnes Solomon is. I suspect that James and John could be either sons of William Sr. of Edgecomb Co. or his nephews, sons of Lewis Jr. of Surry / Sussex VA. Can anyone add to or clarify this info? Harold Solomon Deer Park, Texas

A New Solomon??? i don't have Willis in my family tree maker I have been looking at information received from Daniel Worth about his Solomon ancestors. he shows a William Solomon(married to Ruth) brother to Lewis jr.(married to betty johnson) william had a son named william born 1737. just a thought--- could william have been called willis??? The james, peter, george and elizabeth wise were listed as children of Lewis jr. I'm not sure if any of this is helpful ludell

Oops, I failed to mention that the John Solomon in NC appears to be married to a Mary. John Solomon, the son of Lewis Solomon Jr. was married to Mary Long.

Hi Nieca and All, I am still here at hsolomon@pdq.net I don't understand the problem with my mail. I have seen the John Solomon mentioned. I have suspected that he may be another son of William Solomon Sr. of Edgecomb Co. The reason I don't think he is the son of Lewis Jr. is because in the mid 1700's when the Solomons migrated to NC, a John continued to be listed in VA.

Hi Rose, I would like to have pics of the gravestones for my Solomon scrapbook. Please send if you get a chance. Hope things are going well with you - have a great summer! Nieca

This is the obit for William Cary Solomon. He was the son of Lewis Solomon and Lucy Ann Lingo. He was also my great grandfather. I thought some of you might like to have it. He was born on 6 Mar 1850, Marion, Twiggs Co., GA. and died on 15 Jan 1916, Dublin, Laurens Co., GA. Rose OBITUARY Mr. Wm. C. Solomon buried in Northview on Sunday _____ Sunday afternoon funeral services over the remains of Mr. W.C. Solo- mon, who died Saturday afternoon, were held at his late residence in this city, Rev. T.W. Callaway and Rev. W.H. Budd, conducting the services. Interment followed at Northview cemetery, the funeral ar- rangements being in the hands of Mr. R. Lee Miller. Mr. Solomon was a well known citizen of the city and county. He was a native of Twiggs County, but had lived in Laurens many years. He was 66 years of age at the time of his death, and is survived by his wife, six children, and a brother and sister. His children are Mr. Clint Solomon, of this city, Mr. Carey Solomon, Mrs. T. J. Porter, Mrs. C. C. Renfroe, Mrs. H.N. Leonard, Miss Lola Solomon. His brother, Mr. Clint Solomon, resides in Valdosta while he has a sister in Columbus. Mr. Solomon was a member of the Baptist church. For several years he was clerk of the county commissioner of Lau- rens county, and was well known all over the county. He leaves a great many friends and acquaintances all over the county who regret to learn of his death, and he will be missed among those who knew him, and by many friends is extended to his be- reaved loved ones.

The record begins with the marriage of Mary Susan Parnelle to L. C. Solomon 26 March 1868, in Valdosta by Rev. William Goldwire. Page 2 lists their 9 children: Laura R. Solomon 28 Dec 1868, Lucy A. Solomon 1 Aug 1870, Olive E. Solomon 1 Jan. 1872, Cisero M. Solomon 22 Feb. 1874, Cora D. Solomon 11 Aug. 1876, R. Freelove Solomon 10 Nov. 1878, Enus C. Solomon 10 Dec. 1880, Ada E. Solomon 15 Sept 1883, & Essie B. Solomon 11 Jan. 1886. Then three of Laura's children are listed: John Clinton Lyons 15 April 1891, Henry Solomon Lyons 7 April 1893, & Laura Churchwell Lyons 31 Oct. 1894. Page three shows the marriage of Laura R. Solomon to C. L. Lyons 2 Oct. 1889 and Lucy A. Solomon to F. M. Parish 27 Feb. 1889. Page four is the death page . It lists: Cisero M. Solomon died 5 Aug. 1874, Olive E. Solomon died 8 Aug. 1874, R. Freelove Solomon died 30 Nov. 1882, Laura R. Lyons died 30 Dec. 1894. Remains of Laura Lyons and Mrs. L. C. Solomon taken up and placed in Brick May 15, 1919. Mama died Sept. 15, 1919.

Page 5 shows four photographs . Two are fairly clear: a man and a little boy. One of a lady is fair. The fourth is a black blob. Page 6 shows four more photographs: The man and the little girl are fairly clear. The third looks like it may be an older lady. The fourth may be a lady with a small child. These would be greatly improved if copied by today's scanner. Mine does a great job. The xerox machine of 1979 leaves much to be desired. Page 7 is a pair of articles from the newspaper. The shorter one is the one I sent you. This is the other one: Macon Telegraph 24 December 1899 DEATH OF HARDY SOLOMON An Aged and Influential Citizen of Twiggs An Uncle of Messrs W. G. , Peter, and Steve Solomon of Macon- Several Years Ago He Made His Funeral Arrangements Mr. Hardy Solomon, aged 93, died in Twiggs County yesterday. The funeral takes place this morning in the old family burial ground at Stone Creek Church. Rev. George W. Tharp will conduct the service. Mr. Solomon was a brother of the late Peter Solomon of Macon, and therefore, an uncle of Messrs. W. G., Steve, and Peter Solomon. He leaves two sons, Messrs. Hardy Lee and Inus, and one daughter Mrs Captain Robinson and a large number of relatives. Mr.Solomon was one of the pioneers of that section and weilded a powerful influence. He held a number of positions of trust and honor, and was always strong and vigorous physically and mentally until withen a very short time of his death., and he contemplated the end of his life journey with remarkable composure. Several years ago he arranged for his funeral and selected Mr. Tharp to conduct the service. He marked the place where he desired his remains to rest and gave instructions as to details.

Also buried there is Marie Louise Malone Solomon, wife of Peter, Sr. and their son Peter Solomon, Jr. These are the names that the caretaker gave me. I am going to visit the cemetery this coming week. I am also going to see if I can find the grave of his wife Martha C. Fort Solomon. Wish me luck on finding the graves.

In review of our research conducted last summer in Gillespie Co., TX Courthouse, I found that we had made the following notes: Index to Wills: * vol. B-44, p. 18: "Solomon, G. (dec'd) Granter: Mary Jane Solomon (quitt claims deed) [this refers to GODWIN SOLOMON, Mary Jane was his second wife] *vol. 15, p. 186 - Feb. 23, 1910; Survey #398 - G. Solomon; Survey #310 - J.W. Wilson" [probably refers to GODWIN SOLOMON] * vol. 29, p. 51 -" Solomon, G. - Grentee: J.R. Moss - War. Deed - Nov. 30, 1920 - G. Solomon" [probably refers to GODWIN SOLOMON] Hopefully, this will assist one of our researchers. If anyone locates these copies of these items, I would be interested in copies. We were unable to spend ample time in TX to do all the research desired. Thanks, Martha Wooten Solomon
