Cyrus or Silas Carley, b. Nov. 7, 1758, at Spencer. He marched to the Lexington alarm, Apr. 19, 1775, in Capt. Wm. Brigham's Co., Col. Jonathan Ward's regiment, 9 days service. There is a possibility that he also absconded to Canada, as the other Tory brother. Altho in 1784, when the district of Berlin was formed, near Hoosick, where his father lived, Silas Carley is listed among others as the men who went to form it. I do not know. Unless he also came home after the war was over. Perhaps he was Silas at home, and Cyrus in Canada. That could account for the two names.
