it's highly likely that the man known as serma, simeon, SCB, Sinna, synacher and sinecherly Williams was one Solomon Williams who married a woman named Elizabeth lamb. he was an elder son of enoch Williams and jemima Phillips. Solomon and Elizabeth may have converted to Mormonism from the quaker faith when Mormon wagon trains moved through Indiana in the 1830s, and he was probably a polygamist. both Solomon and Elizabeth appear to have had intimate knowledge about the shakers, because her name appears as "Elizabeth lee" and "anna lee" on some documents and pedigrees, after a leader of the shaker movement named ann lee. a shaker song was believed to have been inspired by an angel of light named "sina cherub," and sinna cherub Williams is shown to have married one sallie Gillespie in northwest Missouri, the same part of Missouri where a synacher and Elizabeth Williams appear on an 1860 gentry county census. the west union cemetery where they were buried was probably named after the west union shaker settlement in knox county, Indiana, and some people who seceded from the shaker faith probably relocated to morgan county, Indiana where Solomon and Elizabeth lived. here are solomon and Elizabeth's obituaries and burial records:
