My husband is named Silas and he also had an uncle and a great uncle Silas.
Silas' great grandfather was from MA. He ended up in Georgia. Then some
moved to Texas. There are relatives in other places also. Ben had a sister
named Alma and she married a Page. We do not know for certain who Ben's
father was and we know nothing about his mother. She died when he was a
young boy and that's all that we know. Some of Silas (my husband's)
relatives moved out to California and there were some listed in earlier
years in NC from my husband's direct line. Some also lived in Alabama.

Donnora,
I have not tried to get in to it lately.
Where are your Caswells from? I think most of mine are in PA, but I am
having a really hard time. I do believe someone once used the name of
Silas.
Any chances of this being your husband?
In this line, I have come across Caswell, Williams, Lord, Baumgarten...
Thank you for any and all help,
Joyce Baumgarten
