SIMMONS. Solomon owned a Flaxseed oil mill with a stone mill house and 28 acres in the neighborhood of Mr. Brown's factory. He was, however, indebted to John KOONTZ for the mortgage and a date of nonpayment is listed as 26 Sep 1811 (which may indicate a closer time to his death??). John KOONTZ had also signed as security for the minor's bond of Solomon's children. Elizabeth SHUE allowed the sale of her dower with the real estate to settle accounts. The estate was sold to John H. SIMMONS for $1,500 on 26 Dec 1815; but the debts still exceeded the proceeds. The widow did receive 1/7, $85, before disbursement of debts.
