In 2016 an unsourced death date of 1904 for Silas was found on the webpage http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hume/. By clicking on surnames one comes to this page for Silas MARTIN Barber; http://www.clan-home.org/tree/7412.htm
Of interest is the documentation on his mother and father's pages which read: "Documentation for birth-death-marriage. Gordon Burney, PO Box 515, Summerland, FL 93067. Letter received Nov, Dec 1993 by Marilyn P Devaney. Photocopy of family Bible sent to Gordon by Dave Moore, Sarasota, FL, 21 March, 1993."
After generating an e mail to the owner of the website jamesrhume@gmail.com for documentation he responded by telling me he did not know it and gave me the e mail of Marilyn Delaney cited above. Marilyn graciously answered with copies of the Barber Bible which was supposed to be the source, but the 1904 death date for Silas was not found therein. She recommended I contact Gordon or Dave above. Gordon is deceased as of 2016, and I have been unable to find the Dave Moore of Florida. I have simply entered the death date as reliable, though without source.
Also of interest is the name this site has - Silas MARTIN Barber, not Marlin.
The 1900 census, which original I have looked at, lists this individual as Marlin Barber. The 'l' could be an uncrossed t. Most small t's on this page are crossed very sloppily and there is a very minute stroke near the 'l' of 'Marlin' on this page, but so small as to not be conclusive as to whether it is a t or l. I prefer to continue calling him Silas Marlin.
