Going back to review

I was working on my Who Was Warham Lee? reseach, when I went back to the very beginning to review what I had as it reflected on what I now knew. Each item started a new revelation. The first map, the 1824 plat map of Farmington Twp, had the seller’s name on the plat for Warham Lee — looking up that on the Land Grant database, I found the original owner. But I also saw for the first time in the associated patents listing, that his neighbor was Solomon Walker. Solomon was the father of Warham’s future wife, Orasy. When Warham came to Farmington he was 32 years old and single. His neighbor, Soloman, had a much larger plot of land and a very large family. Four years after Warham arrived in Farmington, he and Orasy were married. I later found that Solomon was a Tavern owner on one of the main streets of the township. He was moving to a new location and abandoning his previous log building to the group of Methodists that had taken up meeting there.
