  • Notes 
    • In the 1880 Federal Census, the family is living in District 51, Providence, RI. They are: Silas D. Davis, 39 MA, cabinet maker; Ellen M., 37 RI; Lizzie C., 11 RI; Grace I., 4 RI; Ina S., 2 RI; & Hellen D., 5 mos, b. Jan, RI.

      With the gap in the children's ages, one wonders if Ellen is a second wife, or if one or more children died in infancy.

      In 1920, Silas is 80 years old, widowed, and living in Westport, Bristol Co., MA. He, along with his adult daughters Grace and Ina, are living with Lizzie and her husband Amasa E. Remington. Silas's occupation is still cabinet maker.

      He may have been a Jr. There is a family in 1860 living in Charlestown, Middlesex, MA, which may be his: Silas Davis, 42, trader; Mercy E. 41; Silas, Jr., 18, clerk; Lizzie M., 13; & Samuel, 5 (all b. MA). The print on the census image is rather faint; consequently some of the names are unclear.
