Thomas2 received credit for military service at Newbury, 24 Nov., 1676, � 1.10.00. and took the oath of allegiance there 1678, at the same time as his father, when their ages were given as 26 and 56 respectively. This would make it seem probable that the earlier date is correct for Thomas2's birth. However, as a son Thomas died in 1655 and another son was named Thomas in 1658, the date is doubtful. John and Thomas Silver were two of fifteen who in 1709 "had liberty to build a seat in the hind seat of the meeting-house in the West gallery, providing they would not build so high as to damnify them windows at the west end of the said west gallery." Children of Mary3 Williams and Thomas Silver, first born in Newbury, others in Haverhill: Sarah, Mary, John, Thomas. [ref 81:28] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||||||

[ref 81:24,26] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mary, daughter of Thomas Silver and Mary Williams, was captured at age 15 in the Indian raid of 29 Aug 1708. She was carried to Canada where she became a nun, died 30 years later and is buried in Montreal. Her mother petitioned the governor for her release: Haverhill, 29 Apr., 1710. To his Excellency Joseph Dudley, Captain General and Governor in chief &c &c to the Honorable committee and General Assembly now mett the petition of Mary Wrainwright sheweth that whereas my daughter hath been for a long time in captivity with the French of Canada and I have late reason to fear that her soul is in great danger if not already captivated and she be brought to their way; therefore I humbly intreate yr Excellency that some care may be taken for her redemption before Canada be so endeared to her that I shall never have my daughter more. Some are ready to say that there are so few captives in Canada that it is not worth while to put the country to the charge for them; but I hope yr Excellency, nor any other good, judicious man, will think so; for St. James has instructed us as you may see, chapter 5, v 20--Let him know that he wh converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall hide a multitude of sins. This is all I can do at present, but I desire humbly to begg of God that he would direct the hearts of our rulers to do that wh may be most for his glory and for the good of his distressed creatures and so I take leave to subscrebe myself yr most humble petitioner. Widow Mary Wainwright. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||||||
