Silas Poyner (son of Benjamin Poyner and Mary ?) was born Abt. 1828 in Surry Co., North Carolina ?, and died Bet. 1880 - 1900 in Kansas. He married (1) Sarah E.. He married (2) Josephine Wyatt on December 17, 1850 in Putnam County, Indiana.

Notes for Silas Poyner:
The 1860 Census has Silas, Josephine, Perry, Eligh, & Sylvester listed as "Parnell" instead of Poyner.

Silas purchased Property in 1877 in Rockport Missouri from Archibald Wyatt et al. I haven't found anything that suggests that Archibald is related to Josephine Wyatt, with the exception of the same last name.
