Family lore believes Silas was a horse trader. Records indicate that he was born in 1823 in New York but his birth record and the names of his parents have not been found. He married Betsey Carpenter in 1849 in Tioga County, Pennsylvania and they had thirteen children as they moved westward with stops in Minnesota and Iowa before they settled for the final time in Antelope County, Nebraska.Betsey's ancestors have been traced back to the Mayflower. Seven of the Howland, Tilley and Billington ancestors made the voyage with the Puritans. Betsey's Carpenter ancestors arrived in 1638 when William Carpenter settled in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. William is considered the father of "The Family of Heroes." It is estimated that over 300 of his male lineal descendants (230 proven as of August 1996) served America in the Revolutionary War.The pages in this book cover the information that I have found for Silas, Betsey, their ancestors and their children.

Silas Marner is a lowly weaver who is wrongfully accused of a crime, loses the woman he loves and the respect of his conservative neighbors. Shamed and broken, he attempts to build a new life without the reminder of everything he’s lost. In the early nineteenth century, Silas Marner, is part of a small congregation where he earns a living as a weaver. When the group is suddenly robbed, members suspect Silas, prompting him to leave and embrace a life of isolation. His attempts to rebuild are thwarted when his own small fortune is stolen forcing him to start all over. Despite a desire for solitude, Silas stumbles across an abandoned child and decides to raise her as his own. Her presence changes his outlook, creating something he never thought he’d have – a family. Eliot examines the dangers of oppressive institutions that cast away members without mercy. It addresses groupthink and a fear of individualism. The story is a cautionary tale that emphasizes the importance of perspective, empathy and hope. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Silas Marner is both modern and readable.

Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe by George Eliot (Mary Anne Evans). Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe is the third novel by George Eliot, published in 1861. The novel is set in the early years of the 19th century. Silas Marner, a weaver, is a member of a small Calvinist congregation in Lantern Yard, a slum street in Northern England. He is falsely accused of stealing the congregation's funds while watching over the very ill deacon. Two clues are given against Silas: a pocket knife, and the discovery in his own house of the bag formerly containing the money. There is the strong suggestion that Silas' best friend, William Dane, has framed him, since Silas had lent his pocket knife to William shortly before the crime was committed. Silas is proclaimed guilty, however, after a drawing of lots. The woman Silas was to marry breaks their engagement and instead marries William. With his life shattered and his heart broken, Silas leaves Lantern Yard and the city for a rural area where he is unknown.
