"Ancestrees"

Solomon DANNER ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

Solomon lived next to his probable father, Jonathan, in the 1830 census for Gallia Co., Ohio He had purchased the 81.66 acres he lived on on Nov. 4, 1825 in Gallia Co., Ohio. This was Congressional land that he was listed as an entryman on. He was born between 1800 and 1810 according to his age in the 1830 census of between 20 and 29. If he was age 21 when he bought land in 1825, he would have been born before 1805. His wife was between the ages of 15 and 19 at that point in time, significantly younger than him. (CL-449)

He might be the Solomon Diner in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH 1840 census on page 16 who was between 30 and 40 years of age with his wife being between 20 and 30. They had no children listed.

A reading of his cemetery stone in "Cemeteries of Raccoon Twp." states his death date was Apr. 4, 1851. I suspect that this could be a misreading and it was actually Apr. 4, 1857 because his estate was probated in June of 1857, but will keep the date at 1851 till further proof is found. He was buried in a private cemetery just 1/4 mile north of Ebenezer Carmel Rd. just west of Route 325.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Will, 5/22/1836, , Gallia, OH, USA. This will might be dated 1856 instead as the 3 might be a very
fancy 5 instead. However, I have interpreted it at a 3 because it is
distinctly different than the 5 in the probate date at the end of the
will. If is was a 5, it would likely apply to Solomon's nephew
Solomon instead.

• Probate, 6/12/1857, , Gallia, OH, USA.

Solomon married Mary "Polly" UNKNOWN before 1821. (Mary "Polly" UNKNOWN was born in 1811 and died after 1851.)
