Notes
General:
Algernon Solomon Richard Milton was born in Burke County, Georgia in 1798. He is the son of Captain John Milton and Hannah Elizabeth Spencer. Born 6 years before his famous father's death and at a time of family financial troubles. A. S. R. Milton was described as 5' 6 ¾ inches tall, dark complexion, dark hair, and blue eyes. He married Jane Hardin daughter of John Hardin. Solomon and Jane had seven children.
Solomon probably left Jefferson County shortly after 1836 and we cannot find him in the 1840 Census anywhere in Georgia., though he removed to Appling County, GA. He was convicted of rape in Appling County, GA. and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Received at prison 20 December 1845 at the age of 48 and paroled 28 August 1848.
We did find him in the 1850 census for Appling County in Militia District 456, where he owned no property. In 1860 he was enumerated in the Southern District of Appling County, GA.
He was said to be a "great hunter."
He was killed in the Civil War likely at the Battle of Olustee in North Florida, as he moved from Georgia to near Baldwin, FL before the war. He died sometime during Feb. of 1864.
