I am descended from Bryant Silvy b. 1824 (Anderson Co.,KY)and possibly the son of Samuel and Betsey Byers (Byars) of Mercer County, KY md. 15 June 1814.

There are several other Silvey's (Sally, Polly, etc) in Mercer Co. and seem to be intermarried with Adkins, Atkins, Adkisons families, etc and going back to Madison and Orange County Virginia.

I am wishing to establish contact with all those that have some connection to this branch of the Silvey'. Information that I have been given seems to state that Sally Silvey, matriarch to this family of Silvey's was married to a Robert. Robert appears in Orange Co. tax lists along with Stephen Silvy who goes to the Carolinas and then ends up in Georgia.

Another George Silvey is also found in the same tax lists of Orange Co. along with Robert and Stephen.

Any information that can be helpful in this research is greatly appreciated. My ultimate desire is to get the facts once and for all and share this freely with those that have need.
