Surnames: Watts, Soles

Phillip Watts (b. ca. 1795) was the son of Berryman Watts and his wife
Mary who settled in Columbus County (then Bladen) before 1763. Phillip
married Dicey. I am seeking her maiden name. I would also like to see any
deeds or documents that offer proof of the children of Phillip Watts.
Currently I have listed Goldeberry and Anna Eliza, but I don't have proof
for either. My ancestor, Anna Eliza Watts (b. ca. 1823), married Jordan
"Jird" Soles (b. May 1816), supposedly a son of Joshua Soles. Phillips
Watts is recorded as deeding land to Jordan Soles and family tradition has it thatAnna
Eliza's maiden name was Watts.

In the 1850 Horry County, census Jerdan Souls, is listed as head of household # 79,
with his wife A. E., and 4 children, he his wife and 3 children are listed as born in
North Carolina, he is living 2 doors away from Allagood Suggs, and his family. Are
they related??? (WSH)

[email protected] OK, finally I have time to write this story out. Better get
a cup of coffee or something. First of all, I don't know how old you are, so you may
not remember a TV show called, "You Were There." The show presented a moment in
history as if it were current news, rather like we saw the Gulf War on TV. I remember
seeing one of the segments when I was little that dealt with some Confederate soldiers
who were captured by the Yankees and imprisoned beside a river. They escaped and
tried to swim to safety but only two of the dozen or so soldiers made it. The rest
drowned. The story fascinated me for some reason and I remembered it later on when
a cousin of ours named Ressie Mae came to Florida from North Carolina for a visit
and told a similar story about one of our own forebears. The story simmered in the
back of my consciousness for years, until sometime in the 1980's I made a trip to
Sandy Plain. I think I was related to virtually everyone in the area and I asked about
the story. One of the cousins referred me to Arthur Norris, who was then in his 80s
and legally blind. Even though I had never met this cousin and his wife, they invited
me into their home and were eager to talk about our ancestors. I asked about the
soldier who had escaped from the Yankee prison and Arthur warmed to the story. I
will try to relate to you in his words as much as I remember them. He told me this:
"Well, that would be my grandfather, Charles Calvin Soles. He and some other boys
were captured by the Yankees and put in prison by a big river. I don't remember the
name of the river, but it were wide and deep and had a fast current. It was a stinking
hole and them boys decided to try to escape. They got out all right, but they had to
swim the river. Grandpa were a good swimmer and one of them boys knowed that. He
clumb up on grandpa's back and tried to hang on. Made grandpa mad and he hit him
hard. That made the boy mad, too, and give him the strength to fight the river. Him
and grandpa got across to safety on the other side. Them other boys drowned. A
farmer driving by in a hay wagon stopped and picked them up. He hid them under his
load of hay and smuggled them past enemy lines to Confederate territory. Grandpa
come back here [to Sandy Plain] and run a tavern right down the road. One night a
fellow come in and started chasin Grandpa around the tavern with a gun. Shot him.
They took Grandpa home in a wagon. Thought he were dead. But he weren't. Come
back to run the tavern again. Lived to be 47 years old." Lucky for me, too, or I
wouldn't be here. Arthur and his wife were delightful people, warm and welcoming. I
felt at home with them immediately. I'm sure they have passed away by now. Arthur
told me that his grandmother lived many years longer than Charles Calvin and that
Arthur remembered her well. Ironically, my daughter's company just sent her to
Raleigh-Durham for a meeting at their headquarters. She will be in the area through
this weekend and was going to try to get down to Sandy Plain to see whatever
relatives she could find. We were both rather excited about it. We live in San Diego
so we don't get that way often. I also have photographs of Charles Calvin, his wife,
and several other ancestors from around the same time frame. I can scan them in and
send them to you if you don't already have them. This research is fun but it can be so
frustrating! By the way, where do the Norrises fit in with your family? Are we cousins
umpty times removed or just leaves on the far sides of the tree? Regards, Dorothy

Evidence from census records,;and land records and wills show that William left NC
sometime after his mother's death and went to Georgia. He farmed and at one point
either owned or had part ownership in a sawmill from which he donated lumber used
to build the local church.

Notes for Joshua SOALS

response to Isaiah Soles(Sowls), posted by james gore on Thu, 29 Jul 1999

Surname: Soles, Soule, Holway

I have a deed that appears to be a 'sibling transaction' that lists about 10 people one
of which is Isaiah Soles. The 10 listed are Soles family members. It appears that the
land described once belonged to Joshua Soles and for this reason, most researchers
assign Joshua as the father of the group. Although I have the deed, I have not done the
researche to verify if this is true. A similar deed also exists for Joshua's siblings and it
appears that they were the children of Joseph Soule who was the initial owner of the
land. This Joseph Soule may be/probably is the Joseph Soule who is listed in the
Mayflower book as having been born in 1731 to Benjamin Soule and Mary Holway.
Joseph Soule settled in what is now the Columbus County area. However, the records
are hard to trace and interpret since Joseph had brothers and 1st cousins who settled
there with him and who also used many of the same names.
