Notes


44. Solomon MILLIKAN

It is believed, but not proven, that Solomon's wives are one in the same Nancy Morgan. However, two birthplaces are shown for the Nancy Morgans.

Solomon and Nancy lived in Grainger County, Tennessee not distant from Morristown. In November 1847, the family moved to Marion, Kentucky where Solomon died. He was a skillful gunsmith and early in life had a shop in Allen's Station, Tennessee, where he made rifles and holster guns. After his settlement in Kentucky he repaired and stocked guns and rifles. It is stated that his long rifles with hand forged barrels, cherry wood stocks and cunningly engraved brass mountings were considered to be fine shooters and Solomon was quite celebrated.
