Silver Ancestors ~ Getting to know them by name

My last post here was of George Silver, Jr., the Revolutionary War soldier who claimed to have roots in Russia, and has roots tracable to the Eastern most areas of Germany.  He built a log house in the very early 1800's and he and his sons, built a church above the house as well.  There is a great deal of history available for this man, and his family members, but for now I only want to list his relationship to us as an ancestor.

It goes as follows:
  George Silver  married Nancy Ann Griffith  begat...
               Son - Reverend Thomas Silver   married  Ellender (Nellie) McMahan begat...
                     Son - Jacob William Silver   married  Lucinda Jane Rolland (Rowland) begat...
                           Daughter - Nancy Ellender Silver   married  *William Bailous Roland begat...
                               Son - Hobart McKinley Roland   married   Nora E. Belle Anglin begat...
                                    etc.
note: *[William Bailous's mother was Sarah Caroline Gardner who married - 1.James Roland who died, 2. Jasper Roland who died, and was our ancestor,  and lastly 3. married Rev. Leander Ray. (Rae)]

In the cemetery section of this blog, I placed pictures today of  J.W. and Jane's  tombstones, and that of William Bailous Roland's mother - Sarah C. Rae, who is buried along side them. 
See: Cemeteries - this is the place on the right side panel of  this page. > Mountain Memorials/Silver page.
