Bio
Union Veteran of the Civil War Served as teamster, Co. E, 4th Tennessee Cavalry Enlisted on January 1, 1863, age 39, at Louisville, Kentucky. Mustered out of service as a Private at Nashville, Tennessee on July 12, 1865. Invalid Pension filed on October 11, 1881 (Application No. 431442 and Certificate No. 550494). ∼ Soloman was born on July 18, 1821. Some family sources say he was born in Big Foot, Rhea County, Tennessee. He was a son of Robert Cate (1789-1879) and his wife, Isabella (Carter) Cate(1801-1875). Records about his life placed at Ancestry.com by several descendants are somewhat contradictory. Soloman himself told recruitment officials during the Civil War that he was a native of McMinn County, Tennessee. Soloman was married on November 19, 1846 in McMinn County, Tennessee to Louisa Dumont McCarroll. She was born in South Carolina on January 27, 1821. Soloman told the census taker in 1890 that he had suffered a saber wound over his left eye while serving during the Civil War. Family sources and pensions records indicate that during the war Soloman was injured by a comrade during a drunken brawl. Solomon by his own account and witnesses he was just in the way during his rampage and was stabbed by the comrade thru the eye with a bayonet, this making him unable to do manual labor the rest of his life, drawing a disability pension until his death in 1900.
