"THE MURPHREE QUARTERLY", vol II, #6, p 90: "Old Solomon's Corner" by Paul Murphree: "Old Solomon Murphree was born probably in 1757 and died after 23 November 1852, near Anniston, AL, about 60 miles from our home. In 1817, Solomon with his daughter Rhoda and son-in-law John Bynum started for Alabama. Solomon and Rhoda and the children stopped in Tennessee for the winter while John and a Negro slave, Uncle Dick, came to Alabama. They stopped in what is now Murphree's Valley, built a cabin and cleared some farm land. The next spring, 1818, John went back to Tennessee for his wife and children and father-in-law Solomon. I have not been able to find out just what year Solomon went on to what is now Calhoun County, near Anniston, Alabama."
