    2. RE: Oct 24, 2000 post by Ted and Freda Noble Peter Solomon & Margaret Stark -- John Solomon & Cressy Wrenn -- John G. Solomon 1797 SC I read your post with most interest - this is the first hint I have ever seen for the wife of Peter Solomon. I would be very interested in accessing the Internet site where you found this data - could you please provide that site address? I am a descendent of Peter Solomon. Interestingly my g grandfather is also John G. Solomon. His full name was John Godwin Solomon, s/o Godwin, he was born in GA in 1848. John Solomon and Cressy Wrenn were married December 22, 1795 in Franklin County, NC - bondsman was Alexander Wrenn. The timing would have been right for your John G. to have been born in 1797. There were two separate groups of Solomons in Franklin County at this time. The descendants of William Solomon, s/o of Lewis I, lived northwest of Louisburg. Some of the children of Lewis Solomon II, also s/o of Lewis I, lived southeast of Louisburg, near the Nash County line, around Peachtree Creek. The children of Lewis in Franklin included: Peter, George, James, John, and Elizabeth Wise. There was also a neighbor named George Wrenn (also spelled Renn). From Lewis II's will, we know his daughter, Winnifred, married a man named Wren. I have not found proof that George above was her husband. He is however involved in deed transactions with the family. In the early census of NC, Lazarus Solomon, son of Peter, is living in Nash County, next to Carey Solomon (perhaps brothers as Lazarus later named a son Carey). In the early 1790's, Lazarus and his brother, James had settled in Georgia. Lazarus first bought land in Washington County, GA and later appears in the Laurens County deed records before finally settling in Twiggs County. There was also a Willis Solomon who died in Laurens County in 1810 with ties to the Franklin County Solomons. There was also an Abraham Solomon in Laurens; however, to date, I don't know how Willis or Abraham fit into the Solomon family. The will of Willis mentions Evans Andrews who also witnessed a deed transaction for John and Mary Solomon in Franklin (John was the s/o Lewis II, wed Mary Long). I hope this is not too confusing. I'm sure it's overwhelming if you are hearing it for the first time. Do you have any further information on John G. of SC. Have you had an opportunity to do any research in SC. Do you know where in SC John G. lived? Hope to hear from you soon. Nieca Sharrard
