Licking County, Ohio - Strongly allied with the Pattersons while in Augusta County, Virginia, the Sillin family moved to Licking about the same time. While still in Augusta, John Sillin married Sally Patterson, a sister of Adam Patterson, the Licking County pioneer. Their son John P. Sillin married Hannah, a daughter of Adam Patterson and Rebeckah Moore.

Auglaize County, Ohio - John and Hannah relocated to Auglaize County, Ohio before 1840, along with William P. Morey and wife Rebecca Patterson, a sister of Hannah. In 1852, John P. Sillin wrote a letter to the family in Licking County describing the accidental death of William P. Morey. John P. Sillin died in Moulton Township in Auglaize County in 1874.
