I couldn't find this message on the board, so am sending reply to list. There are a LOT of Saylors in KY, and a lot of Silases in particular. Here are some of them. From the 1860 census: SAYLOR SILAS W 23 M W KY KY HARLAN Co., HARLAN C H P O (C H is for Courthouse) On same page is John Saylor 25 and Levi Saylor 20. In 1870, there are two Silases in KY: SAYLOR SILAS 39 M W KY KY HARLAN WALLINS CRK P O SAYLOR SILAS W 32 M W KY KY HARLAN CALLAWAY P O On same page as the 2nd one is a John A. Saylor with a 6 yr old named Silas W. By 1910, there are 4 Silas Saylors in the census index: SAYLOR SILAS M W KY KY LAUREL PITTSBURG SAYLOR SILAS M W KY KY LESLIE MARROWBONE SAYLOR SILAS W M W KY KY HARLAN WALLINS CRK SAYLOR SILAS W M W KY KY HARLAN FORESTERS CRK The second one of these seems to be yours.
