From 'Elder James Benedict:The Pioneer Preacher of the Warwick and Wyoming Valleys'by Mrs. Elizabeth C. Van Duzer, 1923 ~
Jonathon Silsbe, and Chrisstana Silsbe were listed as signers of the document from a conference meeting in Starling stating that Elder James Benedict would go to Westmorelandto set up the church, and they would follow after as soon as able. Dated 8 Mar 1777
Church Meeting Record dated Warwick, August 21, 1777 refers to Deacon Silsby being chosen Moderater and conducting a vote for the removal of the Church to Westmoreland.
~~I believe Deacon Silsby and Chrisstana were the parents of James Silsby
