    1. [PAWAYNE-L] questions on Silas Woodward line
    2. Holly Jagger
    3. Greetings from Binghamton! My 4th gr grandmother was Zipporah Jones, who m. Truman Sharp and lived in Salisbury, CT. They had two children together, John and Betsey Sharp (my 3rd gr grandmother). When he disappeared or died, we know from a family tale that she married Silas Woodward, who had sons named Daniel and Charles. It was through Charles Woodward that Betsey Sharpe met her future husband, William Harris. (Charles supposedly met William Harris 'while away at school.') Questions that arise: 1. Did Silas Woodward have a first wife? one source says, Christina Swingle; another source has Ziporah "Schaffer" as Silas' wife and mother of Daniel and Charles. We know nothing of this SCHAFFER name. 2. Where did Silas' sons attend school? Charles was b. in 1804, so his schooling must have taken place b/n 1810 and 1820. (Wm. and Betsey were already married by fall of 1820.) Schools of NE Pa b/n 1810 and 1820... that is the question, I suppose. 3. In what year did Silas Woodward (Enos' son) come to Wayne County from Orange NY? In Canaan twp. by 1810 census. 4. Silas moves to Palmyra twp. by 1820 census; also found there in 1830. Not there in 1840 or thereafter. If Silas d. b/n 1830 and 1840, where would his grave most likely be? thanks for any help! Holly Harris Jagger Binghamton ny
