Researchers:
A book about his descendants was written by Joy Ruth Waldrep Mahan in 1994 and
the title is "Our Kith and Kin". It is a rather accurate compilation
of part of the descendants of Solomon. A descendant that has done extensive
research on the entire line is Connie Waldrop-Yancey. Connie was living in Clayton
County GA in 1994.
