Solomon L. Travis ¹

  General Notes:

There is some confusion about the birth date of Solomon. The death record indicates that he died at the age of 1 day on 14 Dec 1862. However his birth record indicates that he was born in March 1861 which would make his age about 1 year 9 months..

Obviously one of the records is incorrect. A close look at the birth record notes that he was born a twin. A brother, Joseph Milroy Travis, was born 13 Mar 1861 so therefore he was the other twin and the birth record date is the correct date. The birth record of Joseph Travis also confirms the fact that he was a twin.
