Family Remembrance:1610 Silas Frame, born: 16 July 1818 in Preble Co., Ohio. He married Mary Ann "Polly" Strader in Argyle, Lafayette Co., Wisconsin. Polly was born on 20 June 1819 in Preble Co., Ohio, the daughter of Jacob Strader and Rachel Starr and the sister of Elizabeth. Silas died on 27 Feb 1894, and Polly died on 27 June 1905. They both are buried in the Kelly-Morton Cemetery, Monroe, Green Co., Wisconsin.

1818 Birth:1610 Other researcher gives birth date as 16 July 1818. Birth place of Preble County, Ohio supported by 1850 census enumeration and the fact that parents James and Susanna Frame were enumerated in Bourbon County, Kentucky1480 in 1810 and in Preble County, Ohio2285 in 1820. The Frame family is believed to have relocated to Preble County in 1816 based on a land purchase827 by family patriarch Jeremiah Frame.

1850 U.S. Census:2293 Silas enumerated in the household of his father James Frame in Argyle Township, Lafayette County, Wisconsin as a male, age 31, miner, born in Ohio. Five sons of James Frame2293 and Susannah Bradshaw (Jeremiah, John, Thomas, James, and Silas) were enumerated as adjacent families in the 1850 enumeration in Argyle Township, Lafayette County, Wisconsin. The 1850 enumeration indicates that two of these sons (Jeremiah and James) married women who were born in Illinois, tending to validate this James Frame family as the same one that previously lived in Preble County, Ohio, relocated to Vermilion County, Illinois, and then to Lafayette County, Wisconsin.
