Thank you for sharing your sweet memories of...Hank,<br />Thank you for sharing your sweet memories of my great-grandmother! I love that you call her “Cousin Lucy”! We called her “Ning Nang” (I can only guess that my mother, Lucy’s oldest grandchild, couldn’t pronounce “Grandmother” and that “Ning Nang” just stuck.) I remember learning to play “Slap Jack” on Ning Nang’s living room floor when I was 3, almost 4. I also remember her asking who would like coffee and I said “me” and she served me a cup! And I remember getting out of bed at night and sitting on her living room floor next to the window that led to her front porch trying so hard to hear what the grown up’s were talking about out there on the porch! That was Thanksgiving, 1965. Thanks again for sharing your sweet memories and for loving her and for visiting her in the nursing home! It warms my heart to learn of your special bond with her! If you would like, I will send you a photo of her and a photo of her house in Headland with the azalea’s in bloom. Just send me an email at nancy@danielserickson.com so that I can get your email address. (I clicked on your name but couldn’t figure out how to send you a private message and I don’t think photos will post here in the comments).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535398472149876336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610556516641268883.post-55231884789479769992017-08-02T22:14:22.572-04:002017-08-02T22:14:22.572-04:00My name is Hank Stroup.

I knew Cousin Lucy very very well. I spent many days with her at my grandmothers beach house at Sunnyside. Cousin Lucy taught me to play gin and bridge. She was a wonderful smart woman who told wonderful stories. My uncle Neil Oates and his wife lived in an apartment in her house for a while. I remember her beautiful flowers in front of her house. I still remember the shirt she gave me when I graduated high school in 1961. I last saw her in a nursing home in Georgia in 1966 I believe. She was bedridden but alert and talked with me about my grandmother who had died. Thank you for mentioning her name it brought many warm memories of a wonderful person. I reference Cousin Lucy frequently as she had a positive influence on my youth.

I was in my 20's when I stopped in Georgia to see her in a nursing home she was in bed but very alert and talked to me about my grandmother. I spent many happy days at the beach with my grandmother and Cousin Lucy. She taught me how to play bridge. My Uncle Neil lived in an apartment in her house a one time. I still remember her beautiful azelas in front of her house and can remember the shirt she gave me when I graduated high school in 1961. I think I last say her in 1966. She was a wonderful smart woman. Laughed easily and loved telling stories. She was a big part of my early life, I loved her and still think of her often. Thank you for mentioning her name it warmed my heart.

I found your blog while researching my great-grandfather, M.T.C. Scott. He married Lucy Reynolds whose mother was Mary Clayton Solomon Reynolds. I have enjoyed reading your posts about both the Scott's and the Solomon's and have learned so much. I also have enjoyed reading your posts about Headland. Growing up, my mother spent summers in Headland with her grandmother (Lucy Reynolds Scott) and she always spoke so fondly of Headland and all the people there. If I calculated correctly, you and I are 5th cousins on the Solomon side. There is also a family tie on the Scott side. Thank you so much for sharing your blog.<br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535398472149876336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610556516641268883.post-72695010871463977202017-08-02T12:45:22.179-04:002017-08-02T12:45:22.179-04:00I agree that it is interesting how our families ti...I agree that it is interesting how our families tie together! I found your blog when I Googled "MTC Scott" who was my great grandfather (married to Lucy Reynolds Scott). Then I found the Solomon connection.

They lived in Dale County.<br /><br />I notice where your John Solomon (1797-1879) had your ancestor John Wesley Solomon (1822-1901). He also had a daughter named Elizabeth, who might be the sister of your John Wesley Solomon.<br /><br />I also know that John Solomon and his wife Rebecca Sturdivant lived in Dale County and are buried at Arguta Cemetery.<br /><br />So it makes sense that this Elizabeth Solomon might fit with the one that married James Alexander McLeod.<br /><br />The reason that I mention this is that James and Elizabeth had a daughter named Frances Virginia McLeod (1854-1906) who married Francis Marion Johnson (1846-1920). Francis is son of Daniel Webster Johnson (1814-1866) and Rebecca Carroll (1822-1888). Rebecca is a daughter of James Carroll (1765-1834) and Rhoda Stephenson (1778-1861). <br /><br />It is really interesting how our families tie together.Charles Loefflernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610556516641268883.post-33293622886173560502015-08-13T12:50:11.889-04:002015-08-13T12:50:11.889-04:00My mother was a Solomon.

It is said that previous generations hailed from Alabama, but I cannot confirm this. I have so little information about our antecedents, and would truly be interested in finding a network of people who have more information about the Solomon family.<br />Regards,<br /> Carol Douglas Roach <br />(my mother was the daughter of Emmett Solomon Jr., son of EW Solomon Sr.Carol Roachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610556516641268883.post-67626778767920714292013-07-01T18:40:41.309-04:002013-07-01T18:40:41.309-04:00Hello,
