| Notes for Solomon ADAMS |
323A gravestone exists for him in the Old Main Street Celetery, New London, NH. He served as a private in the Revolutionary War before he was twenty, and was "published with molly Bancroft of Rowley on 18 Aug 1779. (Published is an old New England term for reading the banns of marriage.) His gravestone inscription reads: ENSIGN SOLOMON ADAMS - A SOLDIER IN THE REVOLUTION.
323Coming to New London, NH, with his father and brothers soon after 1780, Solomon cleared the land around Bucklin's corner (on Lot #108) a little northeast of his father's house on the "Baker Place." He first built a barn on the southwesterly side of the field opposite the C. W. Bucklin house, but finding no water there after several trials, changed his location to a spot near the willow tree which is still standing at the corner. Solomon's family lived here several years; he then sold the farm and buildings to Ebenezer Sargent, who made his home in the old house while he was erecting the dwelling which has since been remodeled and practically rebuilt by Charles W. Bucklin. The Adams house was moved to a spot on the same farm, beyond the John Ellis house and on the opposite side of the road, near a lane running north. This house was occupied by Reuben Fellows. After the sale of his farm to Ebenezer Sargent, Solomon moved his family to the Caleb Segur house on pleasant Street (Lot #80) now the "Red Gables", as transformed by Maj. William A. Messer. |
