It is not known just when Silas left Connecticut, but a deed from him to his brother Asa, dated 8 September 1791, locates him at Red Hook, Dutchess County, New York. His brother Reuben was also in Red Hook in 1792, as shown by a deed from him to Asa conveying a like interest. Silas later removed to Middletown, Delaware County, New York, and took up wild lands. He remained here the remainder of his life. His farm passed to his son, Simon. He is said to have lived to the age of 92 years, which would locate his death about 1855. Many of his descendants are now (1905, JKB/bb) living in Delaware County, New York, and in that Vicinity.
From the third compiler, Ben Blish: Silas Blish served in the war of 1812. References--- Colchester Town Record, Colchester Deed Record, Biographical History of Delaware County New York. |
