Everything but the kitchen sink.

Sephardic Jews have lived in the state for more than 300 years,(*) (*) (*) especially in and around Charleston (*). Until about 1830, South Carolina had the largest population of Jews in North America. Many of South Carolina’s Jews have assimilated into Christian society, shrinking Judaism down to less than 1% of the total religious makeup. In addition, Roman Catholicism is growing in South Carolina due to immigration from the North.

Hi Phil,

I am sorry ,I was incorrect about My Rachel being Charlies sister. She was his fathers Jacob sister.There were 12 of them, I have there names if you want them.

According to the Toe River Valley Heritage Vol 1 &2.

Your Jacob was a brother of my grandmother Rachel m Edward Wilson. There father was George J. Silvers Jr. b 10-28-1753 Fredrick Co. Md. m Nancy Ann Griffith b 1766, they had 12 kids.

George Jr. father was George Silver Sr. (Jurg Silbers) b 2-1731 Germany m Sissy Market (Elizabeth Schmieden)Germany.

Jacob married Elizabeth Wilson they had 1 child Charles 10-3-1812 Elizabeth died during child birth. Jacob married Nancy Reed and they had 12 children.

I have a good story.

Jacob was a farmer and a Babtist min. in the Kona area for 50 years. Because he couldn’t read or write. His wife Nancy Reed would read the bible to him and he would memorize the scripture he used in his sermon.

He married Nancy on 10-6-1814 in Buncombe Co. Nc. She was the daughter of Samuel Reed.

They are buried at Silver Family Cem. in Kona, Nc.

Hope this helps!

Henry Gilbert Silver

Henry Gilbert Silver (1801-after 1880) was the ninth child born to George Silver Junior and Nancy Ann Griffith. Henry was born on October 26th, 1801, into an Evangelical Lutheran family. He would have been about five years old when the Silver family arrived in what is now Kona. Unfortunately, Henry did not leave us a lot of information on himself. It is sufficient to say that he did leave 17 offspring.

Henry married first Sarah Martha “Sally” Wilson, daughter of Edward Wilson. She was born about 1800 and died about 1842. This marriage produced seven children: (1) Nancy N. Silver who married George Silver “Big George” Wilson. (2) Rachel Silver married Thomas “Tommy” Thomas. (3) Elizabeth Silver married Thomas A. Wilson. (4) Eliza Jane Silver married Ervin Ray. (5) Lucinda Silver married Isaiah Henson. (6) Martha Silver (Martha must have died very early in that we have no information on her whatsoever.) (7) Sarah A. Silver married H.L. Hensley and moved to Georgia.

After Sarah Martha passed away, Henry married Nancy Ann Howell, born about 1824 and died after 1880. She was a daughter of Thomas Howell and Piety Wilson. This marriage produced 10 children. (1) Piety Louella Silver married Thomas S. Willis. (2) Frances “Frankie” Silver married Joseph Honeycutt (3) Cynthia Silver of whom we know nothing. (4) Thomas C. Silver married Rachel E. Allen and Amanda Jane Honeycutt. (5) John Britt Silver married Elizabeth Nancy Jarrett. (6) William Jasper Silver married Sarah C. Ball and Lula Mildred Gill. (7) Rev. Henry Gilbert Silver married Judith Lavette Grindstaff and Ruie Catherine Dills. (8) Margaret M. Silver, again we have no information on Margaret. (9) Malinda “Linda” Silver married Albert Laws. (10) Levi D. Silver m. Mandy L.

Henry is buried in the Rose Branch Cemetery in an unmarked grave. Most of Henry’s children moved east into McDowell, Rutherford, Gaston and Cleveland Counties.
