I thought I would repost this because some of you might not know where my SOLOMAN's were from. My line of the family spelled the name the way I have it in the subject line. Do not ask me why that is the way it appears on my greatgrandmother's marriage license. John SOLOMAN was born 3/Jan/1797 in Nashville Nash County North Carolina. The family moved to first Wilkinson County Ga. in 1800, then they were living in Twiggs in 1809. John married Rebewcca Sturdivant in Twiggs County Ga. in 1820 Mary R. , John Wesley, and James were born in Twiggs County by 1830 they were residing in Talbot County Ga. , where Henry F., Elizabeth, Frances A. H. and William L were born. By 1840 the family had removed to Marion County Ga. Sarah, Susan M., and Thomas Carey were born. By 1850 the family was residing in Clopton in Dale County. John Soloman died in Clopton Alabama 13/May/1879. My line however which is through John Wesley was still in Georgia. He was born in Twiggs County 27/Jun/1822 married Elizabeth Covington 16/May/1849 in Muskogee County Ga. Elizabeth's family was from Pike County Ga. but had moved to Marion by 1840. Marion County was where John Wesley and Elizabeth's first son Emmett was born in 1851, by 1860 the family was living in Montgomery County Alabama. he died in Seale Alabama 16/May/1901. John Wesley's son John Thomas was living in Henry County Alabama after his marriage to Laura Emma Price in Florida in 1879. Emma Price was a resident of Abbeville Henry Co. Al. My greatgrand-mother Mamie Elizabeth Soloman was born in Headland Alabama in 11/Jan/1883 the daughter of John Thomas Soloman and Laura Emma Price, she married Walter Bragg Oates (whose father was a resident of Abbeville and Headland, he was the town of Headland's first Mayor) at her father's residence 1/Feb/1903 she died 11/Apr/1969, and is buried in the Headland Methodist Cemetery. Hope this clears up where my family came from and ended up. _____NetZero Free Internet Access and Email______ http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html
