Notes for Solomon Judson
The source629 provides quite a few notes on his life:

Solomon Judson b. 8 Dec 1751 (pension file S29266) baptised 15 Dec 1751 Woodbury, Litchfield County, Connecticut son of Isaac Judson and Mary Stoddard resided at Bethlehem, Litchfield County when he enlisted in the American Revolution. He is related to have had a first wife, Mary and second wife, Naomi b. c. 1750. Enumerated in Woodbury, Litchfield County, Connecticut in 1790 with one male over age sixteen (b. before 1774), two males under age sixteen (b. 1775-90) and six females. Resided Greenville, New York after the war and then removed to Wells with some of their children, while some of their married children remained in Greenville. The Reporter Journal, Towanda, Pennsylvania, May 28, 1885 relates - “Mrs. Jane Osgood, was a daughter of Solomon Judson and was born at Greenville, Green county, N.Y., May 26, 1800.  She came to Wells when but three years old with her father’s family.” This would place the arrival of the Judson family in Wells between May 1803 and May 1804. Rev. David Craft recorded interviews before his publication of the History of Bradford County, Pennsylvania and in interview with L. F. Shepard of Wells dated Jan. 12, 1874 Mr. Shepard stated - “The first settler of Wells township as near as we can (tell) was Lemuel Gaylord. He came in the year 1800. Next came Solomon and Ithamar Judson - the former settled on the farm now owned by James Owens; the latter on the farm owned by John A. Roy. They came here in the year 1803 from Greenville, New York. At that time there was but one house from stateline to Roseville, Tioga County a distance of eleven miles.” Further, Mr. Shepard states - “Solomon Judson died Dec 12, 1836 aged 86 years. He was the father of Mrs. Mary Capron and Mrs. James J. (error and should have been an I.) Osgood, both now living at this place or what was called Mosierville. They can remember very well when Wells Township was a perfect wilderness, and full of bear, deer and wolves.” Solomon’s daughter, Alethia married in Aug 1804 in Greenville, so perhaps 1803 is too early of a date for their arrival. Solomon appears on the 1808 asessment list of Tioga Township, Luzerne County (Wells Township, Bradford County had not yet been created). Solomon purchased 138 acres on Seeley Creek on 1 Feb 1809 from Adam Kuhn of Philadelphia. Enumerated in Smithfield Township, Lycoming County (Bradford County and Wells Township had not yet been formed) in 1810 with two males of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1795-1800), one male over age forty five (b. before 1765), one female of under age ten (b. 1801-10, one female of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1795-1800), and one female over age forty five (b. bfore 1765). Solomon appears on the first assessment of 1812-13. In 1820, resided on warrant parcel 1393 on Judson Hill. Residing there in 1822. Solomon and Naomi enumerated in Wells in 1820 with no children in their household. On 16 Mar 1824, Solomon Judson, Isaac Judson, and Samuel Judson all of Wells sold (5:100) the 138 acres on Seeley Creek to James Seely, Jr., “late in possession of Bartlett Seely and more in possession of James Seely, Jr.” Naomi d. Feb 1826 76y (ts). Solomon, private in Connecticut Continental Army, 1835 pensioner, age 82. Solomon d. Dec 12, 1836 86y (ts) buried with Naomi in Mosherville Cemetery.
