Silas died six months after his wife, Martha, who died Dec. 1872.
Silas left an extensive Will in which he named and bequeathed sons Franklin and William one dollar each. He left land and property to sons James, John and Orin, daughter Harriett (Adams-Hill) and Emeline, widow of his son Andrew J, and also named grandchildren Eva May and Edmon, children of Andrew. He also made a small gift to Elizabeth D. Adams, relationship unknown.

Adams, Franklin and Leon F. - Franklin Adams was born in Penfield, in 1824, a son of Silas and Clarice (Baker) Adams. and a grandson of Jesse Adams, who came from Massachusetts and settled in East Penfield in 1801 where he died. Jesse Adams left two sons, Moses and Silas, who died in Missouri. Franklin Adams settled on the farm where he now lives in 1837 and has always been engaged in farming. He married Cynthia -----, who died leaving one son, Leon F. He married Anna Kiley, by whom he has one son, Franklin. He lives on the farm with his father.

Appears to be the Silas Adams born about 1802, Worchester MA. who served a prison term from Sep 19 1834/Herkimer NY to Sep 19 1837/Auburn, NY.
ALERT: Some trees show Silas had an unverified prior marriage to Nancy Howe, with three unnamed sons from that union. He was age 28 when he married Martha. If this is correct, he apparently was married three times and had up to ten children. Based on his will, this union/children seems unlikely.
