I was unable to locate anything
more on Silas Johnson other than the censuses. I checked the cemetery records
and found a Martha Johnson listed as a wife of Aaron Logsdon. Since it appears
Martha Johnson died prior to the 1870 census, she would not be Silas’s wife. It
seems likely that they were buried in a neighboring county. They had a large
family (see 1850 census listings) and may have crossed county borders when
settling on their own farms.
I hope this is of some help to
you.
