Hello, This message is being forwarded for one of our researchers: My search is for Saul Solomons who was born in Leipzig, Germany . On his tombstone it says "Saul Solomons, who died on the 1st March 1843 in about the 72nd year of his age. He was born in Leipsic, Germany but upwards of the last 50 years he resided in Colleton and Beaufort Districts (SC) about 45 of which in the latter." Family legend says he was a goldsmith and came to Charleston to work for a Mr. Sinkler. He married Esther Elliott of Beaufort, SC (b.Feb 20, 1780--d. Sept. 21, 1840). Saul is mentioned in "The History of Beaufort, SC" as a Jewish storekeeper and cotton factor. He had a brother in Savannah, Hart Solomons, and a deed suggests a sister named Freelove Solomons Elliott Patterson. Saul and Esther are buried in the Solomons Cemetery in Hampton County, SC. Thank you for your trouble, Carolyn Ramsay <EDGRADY@compuzone.net> Martha Wooten Solomon List Host
