I just discovered that Silas' father or mother, one or the other, was born in Wisconsin. I didn't look close enough at first, but now I see that on the 1910 census in Shelby Co., TX, he shows his mother being from WS and on the 1920 census he shows his father being from WS! I looked at the Silas in Tishomingo Co., MS, who was the son of a Silas. But it shows his father was from AL and his age doesn't match either. Both the 1910 and 1920 censuses indicate that Silas was born either 1865 or 1866. The 1920 census has his age at 54 and it was taken on January 28th, which means he was either born in January 1866 or sometime in 1865. Thanks for the information though, I appreciate your help.
