Hello there, I hope I am doing this right. If not, let me know. Yes I have been told several times that Joseph's Parents were very poor farmers. Apparently the older children were encouraged to go to Boston and get jobs. I was also told that the, boat Ship??? that they travelled on, smashed against the rocks, took on water and eventually fell apart. Everyone survived, and they were picked up and taken to Martha's Vineyard. I was told that his Brother Emmanual and a Sister Maria, his best friend, Emanuel Jose, who came to Australia with him, all had to work on Martha's Vineyard, for board and Lodgings. From there they went to Boston and then all went different ways. Emanuel Jose and Joseph Silva, took Sea -mans Jobs. Eventually at the end of 1854 they set sail on "The White Swallow". The clipper was loaded with cargo and headed to Guam. There were no passengers and Captain Gore. They arrived at Sorrento, the beginning of the mouth of Port Phillip Bay and 11 men jumped ship. Joseph Silva & Emanuel Jose were 2 of the 11. A bounty was placed on all of their heads, but the men went inland and got miners jobs. None of them were ever caught. That is all I know about Josephs Early days, until 1855. His Fathers name is supposed to be Jose da Silva (Silvaria)Your 3rd great grandfatherBirth in Western Isles, The Azores.
