, Looking for the parents of Mollie Nellie Silk. She married Henry M Reynolds in La Grande , Union, Oregon in 1894. Federal census for 1900 reports she was born in Pennsylvania in 1875. On the same census, I find a Thomas Silk, b. 1845 in Ohio. He is listed as a widower. He has 5 children still at home. There is also a John J Silk b. 1872 in Pennsylvania who is married to Mabel b. 1874 in Kansas and they have a son, Michael, b. 1900 in Oregon. Is anyone familiar with any of these people? I want to connect Mollie with Thomas but it doesn't
quite fit. Ohio's really close to PA but that's not enough. I think John J is her brother as they are both from PA and born 3 years apart. Anyone have any ideas?
