SILAS/SALIS FAMILY OF DUVAL COUNTY, FLORIDA

1830 Duval County Florida Census

SALAS, Demetrio

1850 DUVAL COUNTY FLORIDA CENSUS

SILAS, Frank    AGE 40   male    white           , Kate       Age  ?    female  white           , Elisabeth  Age 10  female white           , Francis     Age  8  female  white           , Rafael      Age  5  male     white           , Edward     Age  2  male     white

I personally believe that Demetrio Salas and Frank Silas were brothers. Demetrio had a brother named Francisco Gabriel DeSalas, the name spellings keep changing in this family over the years, thus why I think Francisco and Frank are one in the same.

(Rafael was my great great grandfather) Correct spelling is Rofile.
