General Notes: Husband - Daniel Silvis
He was one of the first settlers of Red Bank township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania.
He and his wife came to Clarion County, Pennsylvania, about 1808, when most of the land was still in its primitive condition, covered with a heavy growth of timber, and deer, bears, wolves, foxes, rattlesnakes and copperhead snakes were still very plentiful. The family endured all the hardships and privations incident to pioneer life, materially assisted in the growth and development of the region. The two log houses which Mr. Silvis erected on his farm were still standing ninety years later\emdash landmarks of early pioneer days. He died at the age of eighty-one, and his wife at the advanced age of ninety-four.
