William and Nancy Ravencraft of Alleghany Co., MD
Ignatius Sollars is my subject... he ventured from Ohio down into Allegany Co., Maryland where he met and married Miss Mary Ravenscraft, 19 Sep 1862. The 1850 Census lists him in the home of James Sollars in Ohio showing he was born in 1825. A land purchase of 4+ acres and this marriage is all that has been found on him.Was he in the Union Army when he met and married Mary Ravenscraft?This marriage was found on a fiche (Page 7, 193) in the LDS Library.
The name is spelled: JQUATIUS SOLLERS. It is easy to see how the written name of "Ignatius" could appear to be "Jquatius" to the person copyingthe original record.
The following are his in-laws:

My gr-gr-grandfather was Ignatius Sollars (ca1769-1833). He named a son Ignatius who is accounted for regarding marriages and family.
His nephew, James Sollars, named a son after him.
