Biography

Soloman was born about 1750.

Soloman Kemp is in Burke County, Georgia at least by 1787 when he is found on a Court of Conscience list.[1]

He receives head right lands in 1791 adjacent Daniel Kemp.[2]

He receives head right lands in 1796 adjacent lands of John Freeman and land called John McQueen's. [3]

Soloman vouches for his brother-in-law Jacob Freeman, when his application was made for a passport to go into the Indian lands.[4]

Soloman Kemp was deputy sheriff of Screven County for some years prior to his death, as shown in numerous newspaper notices. One such notice appears in the Augusta Chronicle of September 26, 1818 where he is listed not only in his official capacity, but also as a party to the notice as one of the administrators of his deceased brother-in-law John Freeman,Jr.[5]

Notice of Sheriff's Sale

He is listed as deceased in an 1823 land grant of his son.[6]
