While I don't have a Silas Merritt in my line, I do have some info that may help.My GGGGrandfather was Brantley Merrit, b. 8 Mar 1825 in TN married to a Melvina Griffin, b. 10 Oct 1825 in TN.They had a son Sam Houston Merrit, b. 27 Sep 1845, TN (close to 1841 when your Silas was born).They all moved to Texas sometime before 1880, as they are all buried in Coryell CO, TX.This Sam Houston Merrit married a Tennessee Virginia Bland, b. 13 May 1864 in Wilson Co, TN.With the time and place simularities, perhaps this is of the same family as Silas?I have more details if needed.My email is [email protected]'ll be glad to share what I have found....Karl
