He died of cholera. Death date here could have been date of his burial. He had purchased and then sold property in Monroe before his death. His land deeds do not show a wife, so it is unlikely he was married at all.
He was a witness at his uncle David Curtiss's wedding to Emeline Rowley in Parma, Monroe, New York. They along with other relatives then left for Monroe in 1832.
No marker has been found for Sylvanus, and it is for this reason it has been suggested to make this "Burial Unknown."
However there is a very old list at the Monroe Historical Society which has his name, proving his burial in what was then called "City Cemetery" or "Downtown Cemetery" At present, there is no longer "City Cemetery," and it is believed that all burials in the "City Cemetery" have been destroyed to make room for something else, or the cemetery became what is known now as Memorial Place Cemetery. On the same list are the early Chapmans whose memorials are in the Memorial Place Cemetery here at findagrave.com, and it seems that only those with extant markers are being memorialized here while those with missing markers are not.
Further fact-checking is necessary to get the names of the cemeteries straightened out.
