Stephen Silvey was born in VA abt 1752.He died in 1836 and is burried in Edmonds-Kennedy-Silvey cemetary close to the border of Oglethorpe, GA in Wilkes co., GA.The location of the cemetary is between Rayle and Philomath (in Oglethorpe).
Additionally, what appears to be Stephen's children are the same age as Drury.John Silvey was born 1786.Other Silvey's are in the Wilkes Co., GA area at the same Drury was in the area of Oglethorpe.
Drury Silvey (born abt?? 1780) married Mary Ann Womack on February 16, 1807 (Oglethorpe).John Silvey born abt 1786 married Lucy Wilcher on January 4, 1807 (Wilkes).Other marrages in Wilkes were William Silvey marrying May 29, 1800 to Barbara leggin in Wilkes.Sarah Silvey married Robert Woodruff April 6, 1799.
The early 1800 maps link Wilkes and Oglethorpe via what is now close to highway 78.Rayle, GA is presently on this highway.Though, there is no direct link to Jackson Co, GA except through Athens, GA.
Additionally, a large portion of Oglethorpe was part of Wilkes Co., when it was created in 1777.
Does anyone have a specific location where Drury married or lived in Oglethorpe?
