    3. Hi Nieca, That info from Kindred Konnections looks EXACTLY like the info I have been sharing, that was collected by my mother, except I have Catherine born on April 12. My mother has seen that New Jersey family Bible and made notes from it. My own note in my file for William is as follows: "!Possible child William. Did not live to manhood, per Betha Solomon. Not listed in family Bible record." Because my mother and I have hit a dead end on this family we are considering ideas that our information may be incomplete and/or that the father of Levi and siblings posibly changed the name by which he was known. We really have very little info on Jonas, except for a photocopy of his marriage bond with Hannah Applegate. [I have wondered of Jonas, or Jones as someone else has him listed somewhere, was really meant to be written as James.] So, When I saw mention the W. G. Solomon Bible entries with a Levi Solomon of the exact same birth date and 2nd wife Eliza R. Cook, of course I realize examination of that information commands high interest. Could you send me the Kindred Konnections link?
