Silas Garner is the ancestor of Larry Brown. He married Angeline McMillen.
From Larry:
I have a photograph of five generations, Silas’s wife Angeline Garner with me sitting on her lap as a baby, taken in 1946.  Angeline was one of the last Civil War widows to receive a pension up till her death in 1946. Silas Garner was a prisoner of War and was at Andersonville. He was a soldier in the 130th Indian Infantry.  I have many pictures of him and his brothers and a picture of Jacob Garner and several of Louisa Smith.

Silas and Allen were apparently twins.
