Notes

Updated July 15, 2004. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) Family History, Volume S(4), Sylvester, Daughters of the American Revolution library, Washington, DC., p. 2 & 4.

- "Had three daughters."

(2) Site visit to the Sylvester Family Plot (N 42∞ 51.473, W 090∞ 11.743 ±26'), Graceland Cemetery, Mineral Point, Iowa Co., WI, July 9, 2004.

This is still speculative and requires further research, but it is known that many members of the extended Sylvester family moved to Wisconsin. The Sylvester family tombstone lists several individuals including a Chester Sylvester (who may be the brother of Caleb), and the notation "Natives of Maine." He is recorded as "Chester Died Oct. 2 1864 Aged 55-5." The year of birth agrees with the other source listed above.
