No, Silas and Edwin are the same person. Let me clarify my information. My g grandfather, Silas West b. 1832, NC matched Edwin Jackson West b. 1836. LA on the West Y-DNA Project. But I was trying to find the connection. Silas was Mulatto and Edwin was White. So my questions were referring to two different people who are in the same Haplopgroup. I know who Silas West's father was but nor Edwin Jackson West's father.

Let me know if this is clearer.
