Silvis - either from an earlier marriage of Michael or an unwed situtation. Whatever - he sired Laura with Malena Rupert, who much later wed Josiah George and lived in South Bend until death in 1922. > > In 1880, Laura was living with her aunt, Franny Frantz King. That's where I discovered her name was Silvis. Her mother, Malena, was living nearby with Laura's grandmother, Hannah Frantz Rupert. > > There are also 4 boys labeled grandsons in that household in the 1880 census, and I don't know why I never thought of researching them, but I just did.
