Marriage Notes (Betsey Cook)
Solomon was a seaman. His will was dated 20 Nov 1858, proved 20 Apr 1860. It mentions wife Betsey, father Barzilla, mother Abigail, but no children.
[This makes no obvious sense, because his father died in 1852, and his daughter Elizabeth survived to marry "Captain Case."] 36
