In the 1970 census, Silas is listed as 48, his wife Lucinda is 45, dau Martha is 18, Mary is 16, son Allen (?) is 14, Caroline is 12, William is 12, James is 9, Frances is 5, and Ella is 11/12. Apparently, this family moved to Saint Clair County in late 1870's, as they show up in the Saint Clair Co census, with only wife Lucinda, and daughters Frances and Ella. Frances married in Saint Clair in 1885, and Ella V. MAY have married my grand father in 1883, at age 13, and my gf was 18. I don't know where this union ended, as my grandfather married again in about 1893. Is this the family you are researching? If so, I would appreciate hearing from you. I checked the surname list for Elmore County, and noone is researching the Silas Dobbs family. Elton R. Jackson
