The grave of Solomon Alston Hunter
Solomon Alston Hunter, a native of Bute Co., N. C. (renamed Warren County), died in Abbeville Dist., S. C., in September 1799 when he was thirty-eight. Around 1793, he had married for a second time, to Elizabeth Harris, and settled among her people in the old Hillsborough township in the Abbeville district. After leaving Warren County in 1784, he had lived in Georgia (Liberty County and Wilkes County), and then moved to Abbeville..
Elizabeth's mother, nee Rachel Milly Kittrell, was the sister of Solomon's brother-in-law Isham Kittrell (married to Ann Hunter). Rachel Milly and her husband John Harris were natives of Granville Co., N. C., and they had settled in Old Ninety-Six District before the Revolutionary War. When Old Ninety-Six was subdivided, their land was in the part that became Abbeville District..
Solomon's estate (1799, Box 47, Pack 1063 Abbeville) was administered by his widow and her brother Will Stoutley Harris. The county courthouse in the town called Ninety-Six was about fifteen miles from the Harris land. A letter Will wrote the court asked permission for his father John Harris, who would be in Ninety Six on business, to collect legal papers related to Solomon's settlement so that Will would not have to travel a long distance himself. Solomon had died intestate, and neighbors were assigned the task of itemizing and evaluating his chattels for a sale. The auction was held "at the house of Robert Terry, deceased." Since it is unlikely that possessions would be relocated for the occasion, evidently Solomon and his wife were residing at the Terry place when Solomon died. Like Solomon, the Terrys were natives of Bute Co., N. C., and possibly they were long-time friends. Solomon was the only member of the Hunter family living in Abbeville District at this time, although many residents there, including Adam Wideman, who was married to Elizabeth's sister Milly, had migrated from Granville or Bute..
The will of John Harris, Solomon's father-in-law (1831, Box 43, Pack 959, Abbeville) locates his properties and implies the vicinity in which Solomon resided. The will specifies two tracts: a plantation of 191 acres where he lived and 160 acres on Bold Branch "wherein Henry Wideman now resides joining lands of Robert McCaslan, George M. Farlin, and others.".
A South Carolina Department of Transportation map featuring present-day McCormick County (carved from Abbeville and Edgefield) locates an old graveyard called Wideman-Harris-Wilkes Cemetery. It lies east of Bold Branch, west of Long Cane Creek, and probably on land once belonging to John Harris. Today the site is within the Sumter National Forest. Neaby to the east is the site of the Indian Massacre of 1760. John Harris and Adam Wideman are buried here. Their gravestones note their service in the Revolutionary War. Most of the other graves are unmarked. One of these no doubt is the grave of Solomon Alston Hunter..
