Served in the Civil War and was pensioned in 1880, he served in Company $, 33rd Indiana Infantry _UID: 53EEBB3E774643C28D81F4E01BE284FB5AA4 Change Date: 22 Feb 2009 at 10:12 Note: I found Soloman and Catherine on the 1850 US Federal Census living in Iowa; Soloman was b. in IN and Catherine in Virginia. From the census it looked as though all the children had been born in Iowa, the youngest, Sarah born abt 1848. I believe that the family moved to Indiana shortly after that census was taken as the oldest son was married in Henry County, IN in 1853. Soloman served in the Civil War in Indiana.

He was buried in Mechanicsburg Cemetery in Henry County, Indiana.

His Find-A-Grave site[9] says he was born in 1812, and died Feb 19,1892. That is also what's on the paperwork for his military headstone. This is also where the information about his children Isaac and Christena comes from, as well as his wife Catharine Miller Brattain

The Brattain Book[10] gives his birth as 1811.

Solomon F Brattain in this profile appears to have the wrong birth date, FAG has the same incorrect birth date. The Solomon Brattain born May 15 1809 was son of Johnathan and Anna.

Ancestry, U.S. Quaker meeting Records, 1681-1935 Image shows- Solomon, born 15 May 1809, parents Jonathan and Anna Brattain of Residence Union County, Solomon disowned. This image also shows the other children of Jonathan and Anna, and Annas death date.

Also the Solomon F Brattain in this profile place of burial is Mechanisburg Cemetery in Henry County, Indiana

FAG # 43181890 Solomon Brattain May 15 1809 - Nov 21 1866. Buried at Mushroom Cemetery in Hamilton County, Indiana

FAG # 31693751 Solomon F Brattain May 15 1809 - Feb 19 1892. Buried at Mechanisburg cemetery in Henry County, Indiana

I have seen no record of the the birth of Solomon F Brattain birth. Indiana death index has his age of 79 yrs at death, making his birth year 1813, but even that would have been information given by a relative. Approximate birth yrs according to census: 1850 c - 1810, 1860c -1812, 1870c - 1814, 1880c - 1813
