Edward Dolson, Silas Williams
Hi All
Bob Moore and I have been doing some work on Edward Dolson. We managed to find Silas Williams' last will and testament. In it he lists his children as Elija (sic), Abel, John and Roxeylana.
He purchased land in Zorra in 1809, thus he was most likely born circa 1790. In Dr. Ford's article on the Baseball match in Beachville, Silas and Edward (old Ned) Dolson are the two grey haired men who explain to everyone how they played the game when they were boys.
I think it is safe to assume that Edward and Silas were friends and later Edward married Roxey.
Question: Does anyone know where or exactly when Silas was born. This might help track down Edward.
Cheers
Neal Shaw
