has submitted the following "Brickwalls":
The names of
Silver, Longstreth
, and
Wallick
of 18th century Bedford County are in our
family's background. Henry
Silver
(1829 - 1880) married his first cousin Elizabeth
Wallick
(1836 - 1909) thereby creating one less line for the descendants' search. One might think
the "hunt" would be easier. Not exactly.
Brickwall # 1 -
John
Silver
died April, 1792. His will names wife Elizabeth and seven children.
John
Silver
was of Frederick County, MD prior to the Revolutionary War. What is John's background?
Did he first marry Susanna _________? 2nd Elizabeth _____________?
Who was the mother of John Silver's children?
Brickwall # 2 -
John
Silver's
son, Richard
Silver
(1772 - 1852) married Ann
Longstreth
(1770 - 1813). Who are her parents? How does she connect to the
Longstreth
family?
In the 1790 and 1810 Bedford County censuses, the names of "Marton
Longstreth
"
and " John
Silvers
" are adjacent in the listing of names. Coincidence or related?
Brickwall # 3 -
The parents of Elizabeth
Wallick
(1836 - 1909) are Samuel
Wallick
(1800 - 1877) and Susannah
Silver
(1806 - 1885). (Susannah is a daughter of Richard
Silver
and Ann
Longstreth
above). Samuel Wallick is thought to be the youngest son of
Michael Wallick (1746 - 1823) and Charlotte (Sharlotte) ____________ (1751 - 1841).
Who are Michael
Wallick's
parents? Who is Charlotte (Sharlotte)_______________??
I would like to hear from others of any of the above families. Search suggestions, and any
help & / or communications will be greatly appreciated.
