Solomon Magee, son of John and Sarah Moore Magee, was born about 1765 in Duplin County, North Carolina. His age is estimated from the date of his marriage to his first cousin Celia Magee, bond dated 24 Feb 1783 in Duplin County (Annie Burns, Record of Marriages in Duplin County, 37). His age may also be estimated from a 1784 tax assessment of Sampson County (formed off of Duplin in that year), showing two Solomon Magees assessed in that year, the present Solomon with no land holdings, and his uncle of the same name assessed on 100 acres (North Carolina DAR, GRC 1958, S1 Vol 258, 22).
Solomon's brother-in-law James Magee, "for the many kindnesses rendered to me by my brother-in-law Solomon Magee," gave to Solomon 100 acres of land on the east side of Great Coharie Creek, at the mouth of Muddy Branch and adjoining John Owens. James gave this tract of land, which had been previously deeded to him by his brother Thomas Magee, along with "all the residue of my property within doors and out." The deed, witnessed by Solomon's brothers Jacob and Phillip Magee, was undated, but was proved at May Court 1793 (Sampson Co, NC DB 9, 280-81). When his brother, Jacob, was selling out in anticipation of removing to South Carolina, he sold for £70 on 30 Dec 1791 to Solomon "Junior" 300 acres in two tracts: 100 acres straddling "Canady" Branch on the west side of Great Coharie Creek; the other 200 acres, beginning on Jacob's corner and straddling "Holy Casaway Branch" (Sampson Co, NC DB 9, 89-90).
Following this man on the federal census enumerations, he was head of household in Sampson County in 1790 with 1 male +16, 1 male -16, and 1 female. By 1800, he had removed to Chesterfield District, South Carolina, where he was enumerated close to his brothers John, Jacob and Phillip, with 1 male 10-15, 1 male 26-44, and 1 female 26-44. Solomon stayed in Chesterfield District longer than his brothers, as he was still there in 1810 with 1 male +45 and 1 female +45. However, he removed to Mississippi Territory by 1816, where he was enumerated in Pike County, "next door" to his brother John, with 1 male +21 and 1 female +21 (Williams, Resource Records of Pike/Walthall Counties, Mississippi, 9). He was once again enumerated close to John in the 1820 federal census of Pike County as "Soln. Magee," with 1 male +45 and 1 female +45.
