Solomon d. 8 Oct 1841 and Anna d. 1842. They were perhaps buried on their farm as there are no markers in any local cemeteries. Son, James resided on the north side of present Fairbanks Road east of Baptist Hill on the 1858 atlas and a family cemetery may be in that vicinity. Solomon was of age to have served in the American Revolution but no record is found of his enlistment or application for pension.

There is no indication this family cemetery exists. The nearest public burial site to their farm was the Coryland Cemetery in Wells Township and if buried there, there are no markers. The other public burial site was the Morgan Cemetery in Austinville. The Baptist Hill Cemetery, nearby their residence, had not yet been created at the time of their deaths.
