• Notes

  The date of Solomon’s death has been set tentatively at 1787, as the taxes on his property were paid until then, and three years had to elapse before being seized for nonpayment thereof. No name of his wife can be found other than the Parish Record in Virginia, which in the listing of pews gives her simply as Mrs. Solomon Dam. He went to Virginia about 1750, and settled in King and Queen County (see NH State Papers, p 194, for mortgage given by Solomon to this brother Eliphalet, dated 25 Jul 1770, on land left to him by his father in Barnstead, NH). This document gives his place of residence as Stratton Major Parish, King and Queen Co, VA. This mortgage was paid off in 1772; the same land was sold for taxes to Theophilus in 1790. He was sexton of the First Parish Church, and is mentioned as a husbandman. How many children they had is not known, but there are three sons of whom a record can be found. ----- Some descendants migrated to Georgia after the War of 1812. —— Solomon and wife Martha were said to be buried in the same cemetery as their son George. (Christ Church) The historian for the church reports that they are not buried there but possibly in the Baptist Cemetery next to Christ Church. [5]
