Soloman's last name has been spelled Bangus and Bargus in differnt publications. Soloman was from Wilkes Co, NC. He and about a dozen other Wilks County boys went AWOL while in the Deep Gap area. Lee had already surrendered and home was just off the mountain. I dont blame them. Now buried in NW Ashe county, NC.
