I have been silent but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. The family reunion is fast approaching and I have been working diligently with the committee to make sure the event is successful. I've also been on the phone talking with relatives, following up on the little bit of information I received on my road trip.
The more I look at the evidence, the more I am sure that Amy did not die right after the birth of her son Moses Koonce. According to Solomon's granddaughter Evelyn, she was told by Alfred Claybrook, a husband to one of Solomon's many granddaughters, that Amy had long, straight black hair. Claybrook could not have seen Amy unless she was alive in the 1900's. And if I believe the 1900 census, she was still alive.
I need to go back to Tennessee and search some more.

I knew Alfred Koonce, a great gentleman! I didn't know his wife Ludie, however, but my mother Veatrice Koonce Jetton spoke of her often. When we would visit Cousin Alfred, he and my uncle Mervin Koonce would often speak of Solomon. I was blessed!
