"Silas Holt, was born in Truxson, N. Y., February 14, 1802, and the mother, Emily (Hicks) Holt, also a native of Truxson, was born July 13, 1804. In August of the year 1835 Silas Holt came to Michigan and took up one hundred and sixty acres of land from the government, which is the farm now owned by William Howlett, part of it being in Bunkerhill and the rest in Ingham township. Here he built a log house and stable and made his home. Here he lived until the death of his wife in the early seventies. He then sold the farm and went to live with his son, John in Bunkerhill township, where he died in I879 in the month of December. Although he always owned and lived upon a farm, he was a carpenter by trade and always worked at it. He was formerly a Whig but became a Republican when the party was formed out of the old Whig party. He was active in political interests but would never consent to hold office. He belonged to no church or fraternal organization. His wife was a member of the Baptist church." From: Past and present of the city of Lansing and Ingham county, Michigan, by Albert E. Cowles 1838-1906.
