Hi Susan, My cousin is, I think, a great granddaughter of William Silas. She was talking about him the other day, and the thought occurred to me that someone on this message board might come across some record of his burial in their research. I know several people have tried to find his grave. Maybe someone somewhere will see his name. I think she told me someone had written a book about William Silas. She was talking about it. I think she said her cousin, Stanley Anderson, knew more details about the book. Thanks for replying, Sherry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
