From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Silas
     wood, a prominent member of the church at Jerusalem; also called
     Silvanus. He and Judas, surnamed Barsabas, were chosen by the
     church there to accompany Paul and Barnabas on their return to
     Antioch from the council of the apostles and elders (Acts
     15:22), as bearers of the decree adopted by the council. He


     assisted Paul there in his evangelistic labours, and was also
     chosen by him to be his companion on his second missionary tour
     (Acts 16:19-24). He is referred to in the epistles under the
     name of Silvanus (2 Cor. 1:19; 1 Thess. 1:1; 2 Thess. 1:1; 1
     Pet. 5:12). There is no record of the time or place of his
     death.
