Hello listers, My great great grandfather, Daniel B. Silsbe, was born ca 1809 in St. Lawrence County, New York. He married Sarah Jane Ellis in the early 1830's who was born in Minisink, Orange, New York in 1811. in the 1840 census they appear in the home of Sarah's father, Joseph Ellis in Minisink, New York. In 1836 their son, Joseph E. Silsbe(y) was born in Yates, County, New York, and in 1837, John B. Silsbe(y) was born same place, and in 1839, William H. (who died in 1858 at 18). In 1843, Emily Caroline Silsby was born in Minisink, Orange, NY, as were James Watson Silsbee 1845, and Anne Elizabeth Silsbey 1848. By the 1850 and 1855 censuses, the family is in the Tyrone, Steuben, New York area. Mary Jane 1850 and Sarah Jennie 1853, were born in Tyrone, Steuben, NY. This family has been hard, if not impossible to trace, jumping around as they do, but I am hoping there is someone out there who might be able to help me with some information. Thanks so much for any little tidbit!
