Timeline

1827 Solomon is born the son of Henry Fiscus and Elizabeth Conder in July of this year.[2]
1849 Solomon and Julia Ann's son, Rhinard, is born in Indiana. He died young.[2]
ca. 1859 Solomon and Julia Ann's son, Simon, is born in Indiana.[2]
ca. 1863 Solomon and Julia Ann's daughter, Eva P, is born in Indiana.[2]
ca. 1864 Solomon and Julia Ann's daughter, Pauline, is born.[2]
1870 Solomon and Julia are living in Washington Township, Greene County, Iowa with their three children: Simon, Eva and Paulina.[3]
ca. 1871 Solomon and Julia Ann's son, Isaiah, is born in Iowa.[2]
ca. 1873 Solomon and Julia Ann's daughter, Marietta, is born in Iowa.[2]
1875 Julia Ann dies.[2]
1876 Solomon marries Sarah Sprague[2] or Sarah Schroer[4] on 2 July.
1878 Solomon and Sarah's son, Henderson, is born in Iowa.[2]
1879/80 Solomon and Sarah's daughter, Matilda ("Tilda"), is born in Iowa.[2]
1880 Solomon and Sarah are living in Douglas, Audubon County, Iowa. They have four children in the household: Isaiah, Marietta, Henderson and "Tilda" (Matilda). Isaiah and Marietta are Sarah's stepchildren. Solomon is working as a farmer.[5]
This is where Lovell's information stops. She does not show any information about the children after Matilda. -- Fiscus-32 15:48, 29 November 2016 (EST)
1900 Solomon and his second wife Sarah are living in Gaither & Crooks Creek Townships, Boone County, Arkansas. There are six children in the household: Tilda, Marion, Catharine, Aiden, Sarah J and Liddie.[6]

Research Notes

  • There is a chance that Solomon married a Sarah Schroer (Shroyer?) in Greene County, Iowa in 1876.[4] She may have been his wife instead of Sarah Sprague. We need more information to confirm this.
    • I wonder if, since this was a 2nd marriage for Solomon, if it was also a 2nd marriage for Sarah. Was her maiden name Sprague and she used her married name on her 2nd marriage record?
    • The Sarah shown in the 1880 Census gives her birth location as Iowa; the Sarah shown in the 1900 Census gives her birth location as Ohio. Two different Sarahs or misinformation on the census??

The groom's name is given as "S A Fiscus," not Solomon. Confirmation is need that this is Solomon. It would be helpful to have records linking the parents of these two.
