Research Notes

• There may be some conflation of two Solomon Conders. There is one who fought during the Civil War w/ the Illinois Infantry, and there is one who fought with the Indiana Infantry.
  • In 1880, a Solomon Condor [sic] and his wife, Nancy J., are living in Rockwood, Randolph County, Illinois in June 1880 at the time of the census taking. He was b. ca. 1837 in Indiana; father in Kentucky and mother in N. Carolina. They have two daughters: Mary A and Sarah J.^[4] I would have to presume that this is the Solomon who fought in the Illinois Infantry, and the Solomon who was the son of Martin and Ann Catherine (Fiscus) Conder.^[1][3] This is the Solomon who reportedly died in June 1880, so he either died right after this census was taken on 22 Jun 1880, or this is a different Solomon Conder.
