Note	The death record of <b>SOLOMON STURGILL</b> in Carter County, Kentucky, USA shows his parents to be John and Jemima, but many other records indicate that thiswas an error. No one who could have been Solomon is shown in any census record of John's family but an unidentifed male born in the correct period (1804) is shown in the census records of Francis's family for 1810 and 1820. All of the other children of Francis and Phoebe of Ashe Co,NC have been positively identifed except this one who is believed to be Solomon. Rebecca Thomkins, Solomon's wife, was born in TN butr they may have been married in Ashe County, North Carolina, USA, no record has been found. In 1827 Solomon wasgranted land in Lee County, Virginia, USA (area now Wise Co.) In 1833 he mnoved to Harlan Co. KY, later to Greenup Co. (area became Carter Co in 1838). He may have first settled on the land granted to Francis in 1833. Solomon and Rebecca lived out their lives on this farm on Meadow Creek near Willard KY and are buried in a family cemetery on this farm. Census recordsshow their first three children born in VA, the others in KY. pg 78 NOTE: Four of the children of Solomon Sturgill have the same names as the children of Francis of Ashe County, North Carolina, USA but only two daughters have the same names as John's children. The Sturgill family has a strong tradition of naming children after brothers and sisters - this is another indication that Solomon was a son of Francis and Phoebe. In several interviews with Isom Sturgill he stated that his father Joshua had an older brother who went to KY as a young man and never returned. -pg 78 See <a href="/Sturgill_Book/Solomon_Grave.html">The Man Who Dug His OwnGrave</a> for a story by Lucy G.
