Believed to be here with son Benj aka Benjamin.
Born ca 1782
Pioneers from Ashe/Alleghany NC around 1830s.
Solomon was son of Nathaniel Landreth and Mary Grayson.
Wife Mary Long is buried in Illinois.
NOTES FROM LAURA LANDRETH RUST
Solomon, the second son of Nathaniel and Mary, married Mary Long and took his family to Owen County, Indiana, in the 1830's.
His children are thought to have been: Nancy, David, Zachariah, Jesse, Patience, Thomas, Isaac, Mary, Benjamin, Nathaniel, Martha and Clisby.
Solomon died in 1852 and his widow Mary went to Mercer County, Illinois, where four of her children had settled. Many are buried in the Oak Ridge Cemetery at Millersburg. Thomas, Mary, Nathaniel and David all married into the Bass family and most of them lived in Boon County, Iowa. Patience married Henry Landreth and moved to Missouri. Clisby married Elizabeth Miller and moved to Oregon, where he died young and left two children.
FROM FaG member D MCNUTT
When Solomon and his wife Mary Long Landreth left Grayson county, Virginia in the early 1830's they took their family to Owen county, Indiana.
Within dense hardwood forests of Owen county, Indiana lies the township of Marion. In the earliest days it was known as Grayson township. It was named after Grayson county, Virginia from where most of its first inhabitants came.
They traveled by wagons and arrived about the same time in 1832. There were the Landreths who often spelled it Landers. Then there were their related families the Longs, the Basses, the Fulks and others.
The first settlers to arrive in what is now Marion Township was the family of Solomon Landreth or Landers. He settled along the east branch of Lick creek in a beautiful flat land meadow along the creek. The surrounding hills are heavily forested primarily with a wide variety of hardwoods. However, there are a few cedar and pine. In time the area he settled would become known as Marion Mills.
As Solomon had married a Mary Long, many of her brothers and their families had followed and purchased adjoining strips of land. His neighbors included the families of William, Jefferson, Owen, Aaron, Hiram and Jesse Long. Nearby Landreth families will include Zachariah, Jesse, Nathaniel, Henry and Solomon Landreth, Jr. Solomon will own eighty acres in Section 20 of Township 10, in Range 5.
About 1848, his brother-in-law, Owen Long set up a flour mill along Lick Creek. It was the only one in Marion Township. It became know as Marion Mills. In Time the mill gave way to a store and a tiny community was born.
A cemetery, called Hulett Cemetery, was built on the hill.
It is believed that Solomon Landreth was buried there as was his son Benjamin. There is a damaged grave marker with his death date on it, but the name has been broken off and is missing. There are many unreadable stones there.
The Landreths and the Longs were all from the old South.
In the late 1850's, Owen Long's sons killed a Yankee Colonel.
They were later hanged for this murder.
In the woods just south of Marion Mills was the hidden hide-a-way for a renegade bandit gang.
By 1861 they were all captured or moved to southern Missouri and Kansas.
Could it be their motives were political on the eve of the War Between the States?
All of the Landreth ancestors left this area about this time. Could there have been a connection?
Solomon wrote a will on 21 June 1852.
He dies shortly after and his will was recorded in Will Book One, page 165, Owen county, Indiana on 26 July 1852. He named his wife Mary.
His executors were his son Benjamin Landreth and John G. Hulett.
