This old Silloway family has Daughters of the American Revolution DAR, SAR Revolutionary War ties. Amos Knight Silloway, was born 1843, died in 1907, married Ann L. Furbish, born 1845 in Bradford, Penobscot County, Maine. 

This is a wonderful old historical Newburyport family piece. We also found the spelling as Silliway, O'Silloway, Osiloway, and Osillaway. Amos was a butcher in the beautiful historic town of Newburyport, Massachusetts, also with Stone and Furbish Family ties. A great piece, and from one of our favorite New England towns.

     Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
