Solomon was a large man, weighing over 300 pounds. In 1815, while living in Coshocton, Ohio, Solomon killed six Indians, one of whom had made an insulting boast about being the one that had killed Solomon's brother Thomas. Solomon was arrested and taken to Mad River for trial, but he was acquitted and returned to his home. He was killed in 1830 by a fall from a horse.[1]
