Silas & Harriet never married. Harriet Dixon married Robert Cody Burns March 12, 1882 in Clay Co., KY. I have copies of the Civil War Pension files requested by Harriett after the death of her husband. I scanned and posted a statement taken from Silas Hoskins that Robert & Leander are their sons at: http://www.pas01.com/s_e_ky_pictures_page.htm This Harriet Dickson / Dixon is the daughter of John C. Dickson & Eurotus Stringer who were married in Pulaski Co., KY Sept. 21, 1835. Harriet died in August of 1903 and is buried in the Bowling Farm Graveyard in Laurel County. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has knowledge of Dixon / Dickson & Stringer families who lived in Pulaski, Clay & Jackson Counties, KY. Patti http://www.pas01.com/kentucky.htm
