Ive added census for Solomon.

To me it seems certain that Nancy remarries as she has some children with her.

On BCC we have Mary Jane and Joseph as Solomans son. But the possible death for Solomon is too early for Mary Jane to be his.
Joseph seems right for her new marriage, so will be William Bennetts son.
Mary Jane I dont think Solomon is her father. Cant say who is?

Seems right Pricilla marries John Williams as they were ling with them and later Nancy with her. Is that enough to on before confirmation of Marriage?
