VI Ruzeu Sylvanus Sylvester "Silver" Penrose - He was married 1st abt 1896
to a gypsy, but it was not Romania Bunnell Pratt. Delete the 6th & 7th lines
of this paragraph on page 18. Vol. 1. Silver m.2) 6 Jun 1898 Zionsville
Boone Co., IN to Mary Helen Huston - b. 6 May 1872 (not 19 May as previously
cont...
shown). Mary lived near Pendleton in the village of Huntsville. She did not
ever live in Anderson. Her residences were De Graff, OH; Huntsville, Eagle
Village, Indianapolis, Traders Point area and Zionsville, IN. Her father was
Darius R. Huston. Delete sentence about Victor Beck (vol. 1, near bottom of
p. 18). Silver also lived in the Traders Point area.
Issue by 1st wife:
There is no issue by the 1st wife; if there was they left with the
wife. So Charles Morgan (listed as child 2.) is not a son of Silver.
I have recently found some old papers of my grandfather's which reveal
that "Mary Helen Huston already had Chas." She was not married before
so far as I know. This makes Chas. illegitimate and he adopted the
Penrose name.

II Henry Charles Featherstone - d. by 28 Sep 1747 at Henrico co VA
source: ., Henrlco co" VA' Deed Book, 1744-1748, p. 324-son Charles sold to
brother Henry 300 acres of land 'which belonged- to their father.
That item led to this info:
Same Branch as above (3), same volume as above (4), but pages 19 and 20- page
19 shows that Henry Charles Featherstone-s son Henry was b ca 1738 d 1760
Chesterfield co.. VA, and was unmarried. It appears that the "about"'birth
year (1738) for this Henry is confusing with the "b. ca. 1738" birthdate of
his nephew Henry Featherstone, top of page 20. What I have for birth years of
Henry Charles Featherstone's sons follows: (Sources: family group sheets sent
me in 1987 by Elmeree Oakley )
1. Charles, b. ca. 1716 (agrees with Volume 4)
2. Henry, b. ca. 1718
Additional info on Henry
He d. 6 Apr 1760 at Chesterfield Co.. VA, the day after Randall Johnson
wrote his will for him which was not signed nor witnessed. This nuncupative will [delivered orally to witnesses] was "presented by brother
and next of kin Charles Featherston" to the November 1760 Chesterfield
Co.. VA. Court. In it. Henry bequeathed the 300 acres of his father's
land purchased from brother Charles in 1747 to Charles- son Edward
Featherston. Henry's will also names "brother Charles, sister Mary " and
Thomas Jeffres- and Thomas Sadler's children." Sources: Chesterfield
Co. VA, Order Book 3, page 88; Chesterfield co., VA. will Book 1, p. 360.
There is an additional record on that 300 acres of land—on 5 Sep 1775 at
Chesterfield Co., VA. Henry's brother Charles and Charles- son Henry sold
the 300 acres to Edward Featherstone. Edward named in will above ——Source: Chesterfield Co.. VA. Deed Book 8, page 33.
