18. The three girls who were born in Arkansas between 1853, 1856 and 1858 are given variously as being born at Pecan Point or Dean’s Island. It is clear from Bro. Coombs’ account [Arkansas Travels] that they lived on Dean’s Island in 1857, but picked up their mail at the Pecan Point Post Office. The mention of a move “to another part of the country” may indicate that they lived on the point for a while and then later on the island. Strictly speaking the island in the Mississippi was within the borders of Tipton County, Tennessee. Solomon clearly worked at felling trees probably to supply the riverboats with fuel, either independently or for Densfords’ Woodyard across the main part of the river. Their move to Tennessee would have been to Tipton County in any case. The Federal Census taken in 1860 does not seem to include Solomon nor for that matter any others known to have lived on Dean’s Island.
