The SILVAS Family
|
 |
Updated |
Of the SILVAS family, we know very little. According to Mary Ruth (Vincent) CRUMP, granddaughter of our subjects, they were of Cherokee origin, and the line had fled to Mexico during the Trail of Tears. Whether this is true or not is difficult to ascertain, but we do know that they lived, at least for a brief time, in San Pedro Mexico. Perhaps the parish registers of the church there might hold further records.
1. Lauro SILVAS(1) was born in Mexico.(1,2,3) He married Florenza ROMERO,(1) also born in Mexico.(1,2,3) They were both Spanish speakers.(2,3)
They had the following children (more are likely):

VINCENT (13 Mar 1872-23 Dec 1958) abt 1904.

States. Resided in Yuma Co., Arizona, in Jan 1920, where he worked as
