The earliest records are from Jever, Oldenburg Germany. Where the
IGI Records of the LDS ( www.familysearch.org ) lists a Johann
SILKENSTEDT.
This website slekt.org lists list 5 generations of SILKENSTEDT ‘s
or SILCHENSTEDT's. This website is in Norwegian and I have done my best
trying to translate it. Another website db.genealogy.net lists one
generation of SILKENSTEDT. These all list some of the same information.
Stuhr is located in current day Bremen.
This website ortsfamilienbuecher.de lists the some of the same names as Skekt.org plus more current information.
Other information has come from the US census and family records.

There are 3 Johnann Henrich Silkenstaedt listed on the IGI Records of
the LDS ( www.familysearch.org ). It is not know if Johann Henrich is
the same person, but I am assuming he is. It does seem to fit, all
marriages and births are in the Herford area. The date range fits - 1st
set of births are between 1774 - 1779, then a marrage in 1785, a birth
in 1786, then another marriage in 1806.
