@fondoffawns @redsage oh, Cindy, possible you're related to Charles / Carlos? Been meaning to research Silva / Jackson and share it on my blog, fastestslowguy.blogspot.com. There was a cluster of families living near Redwood Peak. The Classens were east of the Silvas, at the peak. They were related to the Zerwers. Both have their names carved into the sandstone at Redwood Peak.

@ecosmiley next time you're there, hike up to Redwood Peak and look for Clara Classen and Fred Barker's names. Good story:
