Based on the estate document [Silas left no will], his estate was probated 12 May 1892, so death would likely a few days before. No specific day found.

A review of cemetery books for Davidson County, NC for Tom's Creek - Silas and Susan Wright do not appear there. It is unsure if this is the specific Tom's Creek Church Cemetery where Silas and Susan were buried; however, in the interest of their daughter being buried there as well, I'm taking the liberty of rejoining the family here.
