There is a possibility that Soloman was a mariner, or a sea captain. He left little paper trail, and died prematurely, leaving a young widow and very young children.
His exact death date is not known, but he died sometime between late 1824 (the conception of his youngest child) and 1830, when his widow appears in the Tyrrell County Bastardy Bonds as having conceived a child with James NORMAN.[1]
