The Dewey Genealogy and Family History, compiled by Louis Marinus Dewey, was published in Westfield, Mass. by Dewey Publishing Company in 1898 and contains the following data regarding Silas on Page 779-780, #6719: "He was a farmer at Champlain, N.

He experienced religion during the ministry of Rev. J. Corepland and united with the Presbyterian Congregational Church at Champlain, N. Y., in 1866; was faithful in duty, noble and generous to a fault, honored and beloved by all who knew him; age at death 74 years." Silas was also the 7th generation from the original Dewey settler, Thomas Dewey, who arrived from Sandwich, Kent, England, to Boston about 1630 and eventually settled in Windsor, Connecticut Colony.
