Woody Kelley's book "The Kennemer Book: A Great American Family" says this: Silas Wilaby C. Kennemer (born about 1831 , Madison County, Alabama, died about 1895), married about 1850, Sarah Ann Maples (born about 1831/2, died about 1901).
After marriage, they resided near Gilmore Springs near Paint Rock, Alabama. Silas sold goods but was not successful in the mercantile business. He sold out and moved to Arkansas before the War in 1860 or 1861.

She presumed him dead and returned to Woodville, Alabama with the children. After Silas was released from the army at the close of the war, he returned to Arkansas. Not finding his family, he went to Woodville, where they reunited.

Silas was a democrat. At age 56 he obeyed the gospel becoming a member of the Church of Christ. Sarah was a Baptist but united with Silas."The John Kennamer book "The Kennamer Family" tells the same story and doesn't elaborate on Silas's death. However, John lived right there in Woodville and was an elder in the church that Silas attended. If Silas had later moved to Texas, I think John would have mentioned it. I'll bet Silas died in Woodville, Alabama.More Replies:
