Solomon S. Lightfoot 1 2 3 4
- Born: 1801, Pennsylvania 4
- Marriage (1): Sarah Irvin about 1833
- Died: After 1 June 1860
 Noted events in his life were:
• He has alternate birth date of 1806 and a birth location of Massachusetts.
The location for his birth appears to be "Ma" which I assume the enumerator meant as an abbreviation for Massachusetts. It is generally assumed that his birth location was in Pennsylvania, abbreviated "Pa" so it is possible that this was miswritten as "Ma" instead of "Pa".

NOTE - If his birth date was in 1801, then his age should have been 48 or 49 instead of 44. His birth location should be Pennsylvania instead of "Ma" which I assume the enumerator meant as an abbreviation for Massachusetts.
