Sylvester and Elliott family from 1800's in Vermont and New York, please read information for details.

Question

SYLVESTER family history. Anyone very familiar and knowledgeable of the Richard Sylvester migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640)?

Below is the link to his gggg-granddaughter Malony Sylvester and her husband Jacob Elliott. After 15 years of searching, I’m about to give up and my 101-year grandmother may never know who her great-great grandfather is that created her family. The link has a copy of the page from Wood County Wisconsin history about Alpheus Elliott, whom is their only child. The information is wrong, because Malony goes on to remarry and was not the one that died before 1850.

Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA

BTW - grandma's name is the last one on that page.

Yes, this is the family line that has a brother & sisters after her were born in Vermont. The siblings before her were born in Massachusetts.

So Richard is Maloney's father and Nihemah is Richard's father just as the profile says?  So what are you looking for?

---

Nehamiah is Richard's father.

I'm looking for help with Malony. She may not be Metitabel daughter. Plus we are trying to figure out what happened to Jacob Elliott, Malony's husband.

She is on the list of children as Maloney under Richard on the link you sent.

Yes. I created the profile.

Answer 2

There's a profile of him on American Ancestors: Vital Records from the New England Historical and Genealogical Register. Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2014. (Compiled from articles originally published in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register.) https://americanancestors.org/DB522/i/14317/131/264632108 p. 131 "Richard Silvester and His Descendants". This descendant, Richard b. 30 Oct 1743, was a soldier of the Revolution. The text tracks closely to what we see at https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KPQ9-86B, except: 1. He died sometime after 1790; but no idea when. 2. it shows Hannah as born 1788 in his 1st marriage. 3. BUT, it says there was a 2nd marriage to Unknown, and that marriage had 3 children: Malony, b. 179x m. Jacob Elliot; Richard P., b. 179x m. Harriet Hoit and d. 186x at Chateaugay; and Henrietta, b. 179x m. Joel Perrigo and d. at Milwaukee in 1866. This would indicate to me that he lived past 1790, perhaps by 5-10 years?
