On find-a-grave, she is Clara A (Reamer) Martz, daughter of Daniel D and Mary M Reamer.

We know Solomon from his presence in William’s household in 1860 at age 10. He was not present in 1850, so I believe he just have been born not long after the 1850 Census and that his mother was William’s second wife Mary Specht.

The problem is tracking him after 1860. William had this habit it seems of sending his children away at times to live with others. All his children present in his 1850 household, including several who were quite young, were living “away” in 1860 and history repeated itself in 1870 when we find William living with his son John H with no sign of any of William’s children from 1860. Solomon was 20, so in his case perhaps was old enough to have voluntarily moved away — but where was he?

I believe I have actually tracked him further. My “rules” (meant not to be to rigid) are normally that I only track males born in time for the 1850 Census who marry, have a family and are head of household in their own right by 1880. Solomon doesn’t quite fit that pattern s he was born just after the 1850 Census was taken and didn’t marry until 1887 but he did have children.

So, Solomon is designated H1d1f.

In 1870, Solomon was a “domestic servant” in the household of William Staut who my guess is was some relation to Solomon’s grandmother Maria Stoudt.

I almost missed him in 1880. He was actually living with his half-brother William in Creston, Iowa but Ancestry.com, in its transcription, treated him as a separate household and the Census taker merely listed him as a border rather than a relative of Williams’s.

By 1900, Solomon had married, had several children — and died.

Solomon is on find-a-grave, buried at East Harrisburg where many of his relatives are also buried.
