I have all of the same census info that you found, I just can't prove that these two Solomons are the same person. I keep searching for Solomon's parents in Fairfield County, OH but no luck so far. My grandfather said his grandfather's name was Jacob and his grandmother's name was Martha (although he never met them). He said they were both from Germany. The age difference of about 6 years is very possible, I guess. It is still a puzzle to me.
