Hi, I'm a new member of this list. I hope there is someone that may be able to give me some help in locating info on a Francis and William Silver who may have been born in the Buffalo area. The earliest information I have on that family is from the 1850 census in Richmond, Lincoln Cty, Maine. The mother and the two boys were there. Jane Silver was 40 years old and William and Francis were 12 and 6. That census had all three being born in Maine, however, all other census and other sources had the boys born in NY State. Information at the death of Francis had Buffalo as his birth place hence the reason I am trying this area. Would there be any city or county records of birth and marriages for the 1830 and 40 time period? There are probably also records of the marriage of a Jane Stacy and a Silver in the 1830's. I have no information on Janes husband as to what happened - death, divorce or something else. She did remarry later in life. Ray Roux Vero Beach, FL
