About Deacon Solomon Greene, Sr.
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi/page/gr/http.www.findagrav...
Solomon ran a tavern in the Deep Gap area and housed travelers overnight for a fee. Stories have been passed down that the family was so large that Solomon had to build two cabins to take care of them. He was also supposed to be a good hunter and a very kind-hearted man. His kindness is shown in a story which has been handed down. Solomon was hunting on a given morning, and he heard a sound in the high grass beside the path. He started to shoot, thinking it to be game, but he stopped short when he realized the sound was an infant's cry. He remembered that a wagon had passed by earlier that morning, and assuming that the child had fallen from the wagon, he took the child on horseback and caught the wagon, returning the child to his anxious mother. He is supposed to have told his family that he did not regret missing his day's hunting because he had done a good deed. The names of Solomon's wives and children, along with dates, were obtained from articles in the Heritage Book. Some dates came from other family trees online."Stony Fork Baptist Association meeting held at Popular Grove Baptist Church September 6th and 7th, 1889.
