WOLFE, SILAS and Family in Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado
I've gotten quite far in uncovering my lineage but have finally really hit a wall.It all stops with SILAS H (?) WOLFE.Records state that he was born in Missouri around 1846.His parents (whom I have never been able to trace) are listed on the 1880 census as coming from Virginia and Maryland.He is believed to have married Martha (Mattie Etta) Fry (again she is a deadend as well) in 1872.The first public record of Silas shows up in 1880 on the federal census in Colorado.
From his children's information I can assume that...
1.Silas and Martha married sometime around 1872 and possibly in Nebraska or Missouri.
2.Their first two kids were born in Nebraska around 1873/1875 then the third is born in the Wyoming Territory in 1879.
I have spend time trying to find any information online from those two states but nothing.
Also, I believe that Silas had a brother names John Wolfe who also settled in Colorado but he's even more elusive than Silas!
Any information you might have would be SOOO helpful!
Thanks Sara Serine Matthews!
