Notes:

Silas lived his first 30 years in Canada. In 1851 he settled in
Fentonville, Michigan, lived here 3 years. Following years he travelled, residing in various places until 1863, when he landed in Ludington with a team of horses and a wagon, a few household goods and $28.00. Immediately locating at a focal point about 7 miles from this place, he carried on a general store for nearly 5 years - 4 years of which time he was a Postmaster under President Lincoln. Before leaving Canada, he had lost a fortune of about $40,000.00 and had to begin all over again. He succeeded from the first and made $10,000. During the 5 years he passed in the store situated in the midst of the forest. In 1870, he opened a general store on Ludington Avenue where he did business for 10 years with varying success. Since 1892 he has operated the store at its present location.

The first wife of Silas was Miss Rhoda A. Weeks. Rhoda Weeks and Silas Slaght were married January 29, 1843, her parents are listed as Joseph Wicks(Weeks) and Rhoda Carnes.* Cyrennius Slaght, son of Silas and Rhoda (Weeks) Slaght married Maria Caroline Weeks and went to Washington, USA.

* I believe that the author of this info has the parents names mixed up; should be Joseph Weeks and Charity Kern - bur perhaps pronounced 'Carnes' - hw

Rumor has it Rhoda & Silas divorced, but unconfirmed (HW), query 'divorce' in mid 1800s.

In 1844 Assessment of Townsend Twp., Silas was listed on the south half of Lot 13, concession 8 with 4 acres culitvated and 14 acres uncultivated, a one storey frame house and 2 livestock, all valued at 48 pounds.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Duncan Slaight

Notes:

I have been searching for more info on Duncan Slaght, wife Raceinia - Tillsonburg and District Historical society states Duncan's birth as 18 Aug 1846 ( I had noted abt 1845) and his death 08 Oct 1867 - so will use this as my source for now. The Tillsonburg and District Historical Society had done a huge project on Pioneer Cemetery, the residents that were buried there, further info etc - have erected a large plaque in honour of many graves that have disappeared over the years. hw

2017 For now I have accepted their research from their records for Duncan's birth and death dates, but I also have Duncan's brother Cyrenius' birth as 18 Aug 1846 - were they twins???? hw Further research reveals the1851 Canadian census recording Cyrenius Slaght as age 8 and Duncan as age 6, thus unlikely they are twins - placing Cyrenius' birth abt 1844 and Duncan's 1845/46 hw

Duncan married Racenia Eliza Turner on 21 Feb 1864 in Mount Elgin, Oxford County, Canada West, Canada. Racenia (daughter of James E. Turner and Mary Ann Charlotte Tilson) was born on 8 Oct 1849 in , Canada West, Canada; died on 22 Dec 1867 in Tillsonburg, Dereham Twp, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

(Medical):1871 census, Lillie is residing with her Aunt Cleopatra and Uncle Stanton Carpenter, as well as her grandfather Miller Weeks* (the census recorder has used the name Miller Weeks, but I am confident it is Daniel Miller Weeks) hw

In 1880, Lillie is recorded with her parents Cyrennius and Maria Slaght, residing in Mears, Oceana, MI, USA. Lillie is noted as age 16, and working as a clerk in a store (presumably maybe her father's business as he is noted as a dry goods merchant)
