Beschreibung
A treasure trove of information on the Siler family, including mementoes, genealogical charts, letters and Family meeting notes. From humble German beginnings to a wide and successful dynasty spanning Pennsylvania, Georgia, Tennessee and even further."e;Far down in the ages that are coming when all the Silers may have emigrated, somebody will want to know the origin of the name. The name originally signified a rope maker, or perhaps a dealer in. or worker with ropes. In the year 1741 a boat left its moorings high up in Germany on the classic banks of the Rhine, laden with emigrants bound for America. At Rotterdam they took a sea-going vessel and were landed on American shores. One of the party of emigrants was a small, dark-skinned youth of twenty-two years, bearing the name of Plikard Dederic Siler, born in Germany May 29th, 1719. Another was a sprightly, blue-eyed girl of fourteen summers, whose name was Elizabeth Hartsoe, born in Germany, September 29th, 1727. These two became attached to each other during the long voyage. A few years after, young Siler, under a law of the times, paid in leaf tobacco for the privilege of marrying Elizabeth, and they settled down as man and wife in Pennsylvania."e;-From the Preface.
