"served in the United States army until the close of the war of 1812, and while in the service saw much fine farming land, and becoming disgusted with the rough and stony country in which his family awaited his return, after being discharged he removed with them, and in company with many of his neighbors, in wagons, crossed the Alleghany mountains to Ohio, settleing at first in Ross county, and afterwards in Harrison township, Jackson county.
Here he was followed in a few years by many of his old neighbors from Delaware county, some of whom were afterwards pioneer settlers in Peoria county, among them the families of Reeds, Roots and Hicks. After a residence of some thirteen years in Ohio, during which Simon and Aaron Reed had removed west to Peoria county, [Gershom] became smitten by Illinois fever, caught from Simon Reed, who had returned with glowing accounts of the land to be had in that State, and in the year 1828 the family left their farm in Ohio, and started in their wagons for Illinois, piloted on their way by Simon Reed. The journey occupied twenty-days, camping out every night, but two, in a tent. They arrived in Peoria, September 21." (The History of Peoria County, Illinois)
"Gershom Silliman and family settled on Section 2 of Medina Township, Peoria County, IL, in 1831." (The History of Peoria County)
"The family records show that Rev. Gershom Silliman, who was born and reared in Connecticut, served as a soldier during the war of 1812, in Capt. Denio's Company, Col. Fitzwilliam's Regiment, First New York Militia. After his marriage to Polly Colman, of Connecticut, he removed to New York and settled in Delaware County, thence proceeding further west in 1814, and identifying himself with the pioneers of Jackson County, OH. Still there came to his soul the call of the wilderness. While Illinois was still on the outpost of civilization and the region beyond the Mississippi an unexplored land of opportunity, he traveled to Illinois, settling in Peoria County, in 1828, and remaining in the locality until his death. To him belonged the distinction of being the first Baptist clergyman to settle in Peoria County. A man of fine education, broad classical attainments, the highest patriotism, and an undying faith in the future of our country, he gave to his descendants the example of a noble life and left to them an unblemished name."
