Subject: [CA-GOLDRUSH-L] Most Wanted: SILVEAR / SILVARER / SYLVIRA
Charles SILVEAR / SILVARER / SYLVIRA, known to have sailed a merchant ship into
San Francisco at the very start of the gold rush. Was married to Mary MORGAN of
Stepney ENG and had two sons: Charles and Thomas, both born in WI. An old family
rumor is that the boys were orphaned at sea and that Charles Sr. adopted
them...Have been unable to locate any further information on Charles Sr. All of
his immediate family ended up in Santa Cruz Co CA. ANY information on this sea
captain and I will be ecstatic to know about it! Adrienne (
