James Silverthorn

Born in the state of Pennsylvania in the year 1878, he married Grace (Gallagher) and had three sons, Charles, Raymond and Edward.

According to the 1900 Census Records, his wife Grace was born in Scotland. (Grace was the eldest child of Patrick & Hannah Gallagher) She was born in route from Ireland in Scotland before immigrating with her parents to Philadelphia in 1880.

According to the 1910 Census Records, James was listed as a Crane Operator in an Iron Mill (most probably Pencoyd).

In the 1920 Census Records, John & Sally Keller (Grace's brother-in-law & sister) lived with the family.

The latest Census Records available to date are the 1930 records which lists James living with sons Raymond & Edward on 3925 Terrace Street in the Manayunk Section of Philadelphia. Grace died in 1930 before the Census was taken.

Future posts will include the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 Census Records of James Silverthorn.
