[1035] Richard was living in Lynn, MA before 1650. He came to MA with his father about 1625. In 1681 he bought Hunfries' farm on present-day Nahant Street, Lynn. He was admitted as a freeman in 1691 and in 1692 was allowed to sit in the pulpit with seven other older men (defective hearing?). "Israel Kenny..." by Bell (1944) states that Richard is "said to have been born at Lynn Regis, Norfolk County, England, about 1625." Lewis' "History of Lynn" states he may be brother of John Hood who was of Lynn in 1657 - this would make him a son of John Hood of Halstead, Essex, England, but no son Richard is mentioned in Johm's will (NE Reg., 50:423). He was granted administration of his father-in-law's estate in 1656-57. http://www.dws.org/dlovrien/genweb/g0000044.html states Richard was b. ca. 1625 in Lynn Regis, Co. Norfolk, England. Also see http://petjr.crosswinds.net/GENE/pafg09.htm#1028 (discovered on the Internet in May, 2002 and not verified) - this site gives a different wife for Richard.

"The Bangor Daily News [Bangor, Maine]," 7 July 2023: "Manchester - David Shorey Silsby died peacefully at Maine General Medical Center in Augusta on July 4, 2023. David was born May 14, 1930, in Bangor, ME, son of Dr. Samuel S. Silsby and Ella Shorey Silsby. He was the third of 5 children, brothers, Samuel S. Silsby, Jr., James A. Silsby, Carl T. Silsby and Paul S. Silsby, all now deceased. He grew up in Bangor, graduated from Bangor High School, attended Maine Central Institute, University of Maine, Portland Junior College and earned his law degree from Portland School of Law in 1958, now University of Maine School of Law. In 1958, he met the love of his life, Eleanor Bragg Eames Guild, in Bangor, whom he married in 1959, becoming father to her 2 young children. Together they loved and raised their 5 children, who went on to bless them with 12 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. In 1966, after working in the private sector for several years, Dave and Ellie moved the family to Augusta, Maine, to begin his career as a Legislative Officer for the state of Maine, first as Assistant Director of Legislative Research, then becoming Director in 1974, a position that was later renamed Revisor of Statutes. He stepped down as Revisor in 1989 and became Director of the newly formed State House and Capitol Park Commission, tapping his innate creative ability as he worked toward the restoration of the State Capitol and its grounds. He also served on the Supreme Judicial Court Planning and Design Commission, and was a member of the State Capitol Master Plan Committee. He was a man of great vision, with a deep appreciation of history, who made many contributions to State Government and his beloved state of Maine over his 25-year career. In 1991, Dave retired from State service and turned his self-taught love of watercolor painting into a business, culminating in him being accepted into the Copley Society of Art. His paintings hang in many private homes and public collections throughout the State of Maine and Florida. In addition to art, he took great pride in landscaping his gardens, and in his 1929 Ford Model A Roadster, named 'Buttercup' by the Manchester Elementary School children. That yellow and black car provided many years of enjoyment to Dave and Ellie, as well as to grandchildren who loved riding in the rumble seat at various parades or going for ice cream. Dave's devotion to and support of family was evident, from building ice skating rinks to snow sculptures and lemonade stands, arranging fishing derbies at camp, attending baseball and basketball games, cross country and track meets, assisting in endless school projects and scout badges to mention just a few. During retirement for the next 24 years, he and Ellie attended nearly every grandchild's sporting event, from T-ball to basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, swimming, tennis, dance recitals and more school projects and plays. If a child or grandchild needed any help, he was always there and could provide whatever was needed from his magical cellar.
Dave is survived by and will be greatly missed by his wife of 64 years, Ellie; daughter, Karen G. Bryant of Quincy, MA; sons, Donald E. Guild (Suzanne) of Manchester, David S. Silsby Jr. (Janet) of Manchester, Robert E. Silsby (Jana) of Sudbury, MA, and Andrew E. Silsby (Theresa) of Winthrop; grandchildren, Adam M. Bryant (Karen), Jennifer B. LaCourse (Steven), Emily J. Guild, Cameron D. Guild (Amanda), Jessica L. Silsby-Digmann (Dustin), Joshua D. Silsby, Devon G. Silsby, Keaton G. Silsby, Nathan W. Silsby (Steffany), Abby W. Silsby (Cliff), and Molly W. Silsby; stepgrandson, Rylan Arbour; great-grandchildren, Olivia and Caitlin LaCourse, Hunter and Mason Digmann, and Austin and Carter Bryant. The family would like to thank all of Dave's caregivers at Oak Grove Center in Waterville and MaineGeneral Medical Center in Augusta for their expert and very compassionate care."
