David Sillings (1780-1872) seems to have been the patriarch of this family and according to the 1850 census for Floyd County was born in Virginia. I was hoping someone would be able to pinpoint his birthplace and perhaps have some more information on this clan. According to other discussions about this man, he was married twice. Two of his sons from his first marriage, Shadrach and Abednigo Sillings, moved to Crawford County by 1850 and earlier. My own ancestor, Elizabeth Zilling aka Zelling or Zolling (1800-1888) was also born in Virginia. She married John F. Jenkins (1800- ?) in 1824 in Clark County, IN. This couple moved to Crawford County by 1840. Due to the similarity of Zilling and Sillings and other information, I am trying to find out if Elizabeth was related to David. Any help will be appreciated.
