Wife Clarissa HAYWARD dates of death not known
SOLOMON JONES
Came from Vermont to Kiantone, in the summer of 1810, located his land, chopped a small piece of timber, and erected the body of a log house; he hired Elijah AKIN to prepare it for occupancy. He returned to VT. and in the fall, brought his family with 2 wagons, and 5 horses. He arrived at Mayville the 1st of November; left there his wagons and family, he hired a keel boat in which they were to be brought to the Rapids, and he and Ellick, his eldest son, came down with the horses on the east side of the lake, staying overnight at Jeremiah GRIFFITH’S, and the horses being turned out to the corn stubble. In the early morning, they started, and came by marked trees to the head of the Rapids, where they found John BLOWERS’ new log house not yet occupied. He crossed the outlet, the ground covered by snow, and went to Joseph AKIN’S on the Stillwater, and put his horses in the corn stubble. AKIN had not yet finished his log house, but was about to put on a board roof. From adverse winds and other causes, Solomon’s hired boat was 2 days in getting down, and in the next morning after it’s arrival at the head of the rapids, the outlet was frozen over, and the boatmen left the boat and returned to Mayville. Solomon stayed at AKIN’S a few days and moved into his cabin, without a chimney, November 16, 1810.
Solomon married Nov. 20, 1798 to Clarissa HAYWARD, born 15 Jan 1781
Sister of Melinda HAYWARD, born 28 Jul 1795 Daughters of John Hayward.
Melinda was wife of General Thomas HARVEY, also early settlers to Jamestown.
