The Ebenezer Cemetery is near Lewisville and is the cemetery of the
Ebenezer Presbyterian Church. I would say that it is about seven miles from
Spiceland. Spiceland's Quaker cemeteries are the Old Friends Cemetery and
Circle Grove (which is now the town's only active cemetery, so serves many
who are not Quaker).

There is a listing in the Heiss abstracts of the Spiceland MM minutes for a
Silas Fletcher. He was received into membership on request 7-1-1889. Here
are his vital statistics as listed in the birth and death record:

Silas R, b 12-5-1829 Lewisville, Ind, d. 2-10-1908.
son of James and Elizabeth (Tackett)
m (8-19-1876)
Jael (Holland) Ledbetter, a widow, b 8-3-1846 North Carolina
dt of Levi and Nancy Holland.

This does not appear to jibe with your other sources, except for Silas'
birthdate and location. I hope it is helpful.
