Hello Marcia,
Noticed your query dated 6/3/2005 regarding information that you have on Solomon Watson
(born in NC abt. 1793).
My ancestor David Avery (born in NC 1799) purchased land in Morgan Co., IN in the same 2/3
week time period that Solomon Watson purchased land. David purchased land on August 26,
1823 and Solomon purchased land Sept. 8, 1823.
I am trying to locate where in North Carolina David and his father John came from and
wondering if you may know where Solomon was from in NC???
I have reviewed the Morgan Co., IN - Orginal Land Sales From U.S. Government which is
sorted by location and shows neigbors of the early settlers of Morgan Co.
The Land Sales show that David Avery, Solomon Watson,, Edward Simmons purchased land near
each other from August through Sept. I am wondering if they emigrated together from NC?
I see that Solomon married Mary Shoulz/Schultz in Washington Co., IN on June 26, 1823.
Any information is most appreciated. Thank you
