Notes for Solomon Eagle
Solomon’s grave is in the SE corner of the cemetery formed by Bringle Ferry Rd and Scout Rd.

George Adam Eagle (1815-1886) "spoke German only, until he started school, then he learned English." [Harold C. Sherrill, Jr] Undoubtedly this was also true of his older brother, Solomon.
