General Notes: Husband - Isaac Silvis

---

The surname Silvis is said by tradition to have been originally spelled Silfies.
The progenitor of the family emigrated from Germany to America about the year 1770, and settled in Germantown, near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His son, Isaac Silvis, settled in what is now Penn township, Westmoreland County. The property on which he took up his abode was situated some two miles north of where the city of Jeannette was later located. There Mr. Silvis engaged in successful farming operations which he continued for the remainder of his life.
