Here's the Information I have on Sarah (G?) Solomon and her household in
1866 AL Farm Census. Also, for clarification, I have included the
transcription of the Monroe County Court order making John G Solomon
guardian of the children of his son Tobias Solomon. They are shown in
the 1966 Farm Census in Widow Sarah (G) Solomon's household. I have
also included the 1850 Census showing Tobias Solomon and his wife Jane.
Tobias died in 1859. Maybe this helps to separate the "multiple
Sarahs". My Sarah, daughter of John G. has been represented before.
She married Ruben Jasper Evers 1848 and thereafter was known as Sarah
Evers.

Subject: [ALMONROE-L] Sarah's land patent

Hello,

Using the BLM web site I found additional proof that the Sarah who
married
Asa WILKINSON and the Sarah who married John Monroe Stacey are the same.
The
BLM records show two parcels of land issued on 12/05/1884 to Sarah. The
description and number are the same for both names. see below

WILKINSON, SARAH A AL 12/05/1884 3189 AL4650__.001

1 E½NE 7/ 5-N 6-E No St STEPHENS AL
MONROE

2 W½NW 8/ 5-N 6-E No St STEPHENS AL MONROE

STACY, SARAH A AL 12/05/1884 3189 AL4650__.001
1 E½NE 7/ 5-N 6-E No St STEPHENS AL
MONROE
---
2 W½NW 8/ 5-N 6-E No St STEPHENS AL
MONROE

The name Sarah A. WILKINSON and Sarah A. STACY are both on the
certificate.
However, the spelling STACY is used, not STACEY. I believe the land is
in the
Manistee -- Dennards Bluff area.

Also, this is not the Sarah (Godbold?) who was the widow of John G.
SOLOMON.
That Sarah was 53 in the 1850 census. I believe this Sarah's maiden name
was
GRIMES and she was a widow before marrying Asa WILKINSON about 1871.

The Sarah WILKINSON buried at Polar Bridge Cemetery has the middle
initial H.
I think that is an error and should be an A. The tombstone shows she
was
born 10/3/1836 and died 8/9/1922. She was married to John Monroe Stacey
after
Asa WILKINSON died.

Grant (If I had it to do over agan, I would.)



Searching for JOHNSTON, JOHNIKEN, MIDDLETON, WILKINSON, and related
names in
AL. S. LA. and TX.
