Soldier of The Revolution
Silas Nash
Born June 14, 1762, at Norwalk, Fairfield County, CT. Died Jan. 6, 1852, at Hanover, Chautauqua County, NY, age 90 years. Grave in Nashville Cemetery, town of Hanover. He served as a private in NY troops for various lengths of time from May 1, 1779 to 1782. He was engaged in the battles of Ridgefield, Fairfield, Norwalk, & Green Farms. He married Hannah Peacock of Perrysburg, NY, July 14, 1844. He received a pension, & is on list of 1830 & 1840. His 2nd wife and widow, Hannah, was united in marriage to James Fyrer, Sept. 21, 1862. Grave marked with Government head stone & bronze D.A.R. marker.
Nash served five tours of duty in the Connecticut Militia during the Revolution. He married Adri Adams,d/o David Adams Jr. and Adrea Couch, who was to bear him 10 children, her death date and place is not known
on October 29, 1792. He purchased land (178 acres according to one record), taking advantage of the liberal credit terms and bargain price–$2.50 to $3.50 per acre–offered by the Holland Land Company and became a substantial citizen. He was selected Justice of the Peace in 1816 and served as the first Supervisor of Perrysburg from 1818 to 1821. He was a deacon in the First Baptist Church at a crossroads called Webster's Settlement at the time the church was founded in 1811 but renamed Nashville in 1824 as an honor to Silas.
After the death of Silas Nash January 6, 1852 at the age of 90, his widow moved in with daughter Hannah and William Hopkin Waxham and was recorded as a member of that household in the 1855 New York State Census. Marriage then beckoned again, and she became the wife of James Fryer September 21, 1862. Fryer apparently survived less than three years because, by the time of the 1865 New York State Census, she was back living with William and Hannah where she remained until her death January 28, 1884 at the age of 93, three years after the death of her daughter on May 11, 1881.
