EMIL LUDWIG SEIBERT, Walhausen, Saar
whose research on the Seiberts
i n Germany covered 4 centuries
Er wurde 28.9.1889 i n Walhausen geboren, einem Dorf
von ca, 500 Einwohnern, das zur Pfar r e i Wolfersweiler ge-
hört. Hier waren zu dieser Zeit meisten Leute Bauern, mein
Grossvater war nebenbei Schöffe, d. h. Bflrgermeister, I n
Walhausen wohnen sehr v i e l e Leute mit dem Namen Seibert
und auch mit den anderen von Ihnen genannten Namen wie
Küntzer, Stephan.
Mein Vater war von Beruf Bankbeamter, Er hat mit meiner
Mutter, die er 16.4.1914 heira t e t e , zumeist i n Völklingen
im Saarland gelebt, spater auch kürzere Zeit i n Koblenz.
Nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg wurde mein Vater aus Gesundheits-
gründen v o r z e i t i g pensioniert, und meine E l t e r n zogen i n
den Heimatort meines Vaters, nach Walhausen, wo mein Vater
bis zu seinem Lebensende b l i e b .
Er hatte sich schon früher mit der Familienforschung
befasst, aber erst nach seiner Pensionierung hat er seine
Hauptarbeiten auf diesem Gebiet g e l e i s t e t und fa s t jede f r e i e
Minute mit seinen alten Akten und Urkunden zugebracht.
Er hat eine Eeihe heimatgeschichtlicher Fakten meist i n
Zeitungsartikeln veröffentlicht. Die Geschichte, die ich Ihnen
schickte, i s t meines Wissens die umfangreichste seiner Ar-
beiten. Er stand mit einer Beihe von anderen Heimat" und Fami
l i e n - f orschern ståndig i n Verbindung, und wenn er I h r Interesse
für sein Arbeiten noch erlebt hatte, hatte er sich sicher
sehr darüber gefreut. Er starb 6,10.1960 i n Saarburgj er wurde
auf dem Friedhof i n Walhausen begraben, so wie auch meine Mut
t e r (I967). Hannelore Wilhelmus (seine Tochter)

Introduction
This i s the story of Jacob Seibert (d l ? 6 l Pa), his brother, Wendel
(d 1740 Pa); and t h e i r second cousins, Jacob Seibert (d 1758 W Va), his
brother, Wendel (d 1802 W Va). The f i r s t Jacob and Wendel were sons of
Jacob (I678-I726) of Eitzweiler, Saarlandj the second Jacob and Wendel
were sons of Christopher (b 1682 Ei t z w e i l e r , l i v i n g 1?10 Wolfersweiler,
d 1732 Sötern). See map on page 9 and ancestral chart on page 28. A l l
four with one mother and possibly some sister s landed at Philådelphia
i n the f a l l of 1738 and went to the Tulpehocken region i n what i s now
Berks County, Pennsylvania.
When the w r i t e r published THE SEIBERT FAMILY i n 1959 he was aware
only of Jacob (d 1761 Pa) and Wendel (d 1802 W Va). These were the two
families w r i t t e n up i n the Seibert RECORD, a manuscript work by William
H. Seibert (1831-1915) and John R. Seibert (1834-1922) of Pekin, I l l i n o i s ,
I903. The Pekin book said that Jacob of Pa ml 1739 (Mary) Elizabeth
Theiss, m2 (date unknown) Susanna Schütz. The w r i t e r did not question
this. In the spring of 1958 he wrotet The r e l a t i o n of Wendel to Jacob i s not known. They came over i n the same ship, October 25-I738. They s e t t l e d i n the Tulpehocken region. Their sons went to Maryland. Wendel died i n Martinsburg, West V i r g i n i a i n 1802. They may have been cousins. The name Wendel does not appear i n the Jacob branch...Wendel was born cl720.
I n the f a l l of 1958 the w r i t e r found i n German church records from
Wolfersweiler parish (Koblenz) the record that Jacob (d 1761 Pa) was
baptized March 2-1716 and had a brother, Wendel, baptized May 15-1721.
Since Wendel was an uncommon name, he assumed that Wendel b 1721 was the
one who died i n W Va i n 1802. He had not discovered the Sötern Wendel
and Jacob Seibert, sons of Christopher ( S t o f f e l ) Seibert.
As a r e s u l t of l e t t e r s from David L. Greene of Demorest GA and Charles
B. Beverage of Richmond VA, and a f u r t h e r search i n Germany, he has
found that Wendel (b 1721) died i n 1740 i n Tulpehocken} that Wendel (d
1802 WVa) was a second cousin of Jacob (d 1761 Pa). Their relationships
are shown here i

The Wendel Seiberts
Mr. Greene found an estate i n the Philadelphia County courthouse
(where a number of Tulpehocken estates were s e t t l e d before the formation
of Berks County i n 1752) dated January 3-1741 (Administration Book D,
page 152, #127) f o r Wendel Seibert, "brother of" Jacob Seibert. Christian
Lauer was a bondsman. The estate was small (L 6-12-4 = $ 17.65). Wendel,
a t a i l o r , was l i k e l y single. Jacob made his mark i n place of a signature.
(He did the same when he landed Oct. 25-1738.) This Pennsylvania Jacob
(d I76I) was a shoemaker. The other Jacob (d 1758) could sign his name.
He was a farmer. The West V i r g i n i a Wendel was a blacksmith.
Mr. Beverage reported an Augusta County, V i r g i n i a estate i n which
Wendel Seibert i n 1758 was l i s t e d as next-of-kin (brother) t o Jacob (d
1758). A study of Pennsylvania church records showed that i t was Jacob
of West V i r g i n i a who married (Mary) Elizabeth Theiss February 26-1739.
The Pennsylvania Jacob married Susanna Schütz June 7-1741. Both marriages
were performed by J. Caspar Stoever. See Egle's Notes and Queries AVI896.

I t was f u r t h e r found that a s i s t e r of Jacob (W Va) and Wendel (W Va)
married Christian Lauer. (See the baptism i n 1744 of Magdalena Lauer.)
I n Lauer's w i l l i n 1786 Wendel i s called "brother-in-law". Christian
Lauer on January 29-1739 was married by J. Caspar Stoever to (Anna)
Catharine " S t e r f " , . l i k e l y misread f o r "Steff" . She was widow (Anna)
Catharine Stephan (Steffan). I n Germany she married Jacob Stephan May
22-1731. Jacob landed at Philadelphia i n 1738. So STEPHAN became
STEFFAN was taken f o r STEFFIN and feminine ending " i n " assumed. This led
to STEFF and STERF.
This means that two corrections should be made to THE SEIBERT FAMILY
(1959)«
(1) Wendel d 1802 W Va was a son of Christopher of Sötern, not
of Jacob of Eitzweiler;
(2) Jacob d I76I Pa married only Susanna Schiltz, who was the mother
of a l l his children.
I t i s unfortunate that these wrrors were made. I t i s a most unusual coin
cidence that 2 JacobnWftndel sets came at the same time from the same
place to the same place.

daughter of Nicholas and Catharine Schaffer? Nicholas was a Palatine who
sailed from Holland i n 1709. He was naturalized at Albany, New York i n

In 1848 Samuel Seibert's 2nd son, William H., v i s i t e d Samuel's f i r s t

data. I n 1850 Samuel received a l e t t e r from the pastor at Wolfersweiler,
Saarland, where the Seiberts attended church. The family had preserved
the l e t t e r that Jacob brought t o America from the Wolfersweiler pastor,

Gathering: Data
The story of gathering the data f o r a family h i s t o r y l i k e t h i s i s an
int e r e s t i n g one.
After an unsuccessful attempt i n the early 1950's to locate the v i l l a g e
i n Germany from which the Seiberts had come i n 1738, and to locate the
Pekin Seibert records, i n I958 everything started t o work out f o r the best.
7
A l e t t e r from Dr. Braun of Kaiserslautern t o l d of locating the Seiberts
at Wolfersweiler. A l e t t e r to the pastor there suggested w r i t i n g t o
Koblenz f o r the records before 1824. Correspondence with Koblenz brought
30 pages of data with a photostat of the baptism of Jacob Seibert who
came to Pennsylvania i n 1738 (designated here as Jacob d I76I Pa). I n
addition, Dr. Hirschfeld of Koblenz found a h i s t o r y of the Seiberts
w r i t t e n i n Germany. I t took several years to get a copy of t h i s book.
The Pfalzische Landesbibliothek at Speyer found a reference to the work
of the author i n the Saarbrücken Zeitung (St. Wendel). The editor of
t h i s newspaper was able to supply the name and address of the wife of
the deceased author. The w r i t e r was able to borrow from the author's dau
ghter the manuscript h i s t o r y .
Trying again at Pekin, Mr. Roy Seibert Preston was located. He made
available as a loan the Seibert RECORD, notes gathered from 1850 to 1930.
More data from Berks County and Maryland were supplied by Mr. Heffner of
Reading and Mr. Piper of Hagerstown. The E. and R, Library at Lancaster
supplied microfilms of öhurch records.
The next project was to f i n d out more about Wendel Seibert, who came
on the same ship as Jacob. The Pekin notes mentioned Martinsburg, West
V i r g i n i a . At the courthouse there the w i l l of Wendel was found. At the
l o c a l l i b r a r y a chance meeting with the son of Mrs. Howard K. Brown
showed that she had a complete record of the Wendel Seibert family.
Herr Schmidt of Wolfersweiler, whose mother was a Seibert, sent pic
tures of Wolfersweiler and E i t z w e i l e r . Members of the American Seibert
family v i s i t e d the old church. Of the 50 names on the Wolfersweiler War
Memorial 1939-1945, f i v e are Seibert, 2 Küntzer, 7 Gisch, 5 Schweigs•
the same names as i n 1738. I n 1958 Wolfersweiler with a population of
II50 had 18 Seibert famLTies; Eitzweiler with 250 had 7 f a m i l i e s .
A search at Speyer revealed Seibert records from the Kusel parish
going back to 1569. THE SEIBERT FAMILY could be w r i t t e n . I t was com
pleted i n 1959. What has happened since then i s t o l d i n the next section.

Also landing October 25-I738 was Wendel Seibert, brother of JSP.
Perhaps he was i l l or was overlooked because of age. Karl von Frank

at a baptism October 31-1737.
On September 3-1739 David Fortune landed at Philadelphia. His wife
was a cousin of Jacob Seibert (Pa). Others could no doubt be found
by f u r t h e r study. David Fortune's brother-in-law, Jacob B r i t z i u s landed
September 15-1748. Bernhard Wommer's father and brother landed on Octo
ber 7-1749. I n 1719 i n Eitzweiler were nine families 1

The t r i p to a port i n Holland took 4 to 6 weeks. After an undetermined
wait the ship took o f f f o r America, with a b r i e f stop at a B r i t i s h port.
The crossing of the A t l a n t i c took 8 t o 12 weeks. There was much hardshipi
illness, death, hunger, storms, lack of water, crowded conditions.
But f i n a l l y Philadelphia was reached, the auth o r i t i e s granted approval
and the weary Germans headed f o r Tulpehocken and friends and r e l a t i v e s .

To the South
The f i r s t known Seibert t o leave Tulpehocken f o r the south was Jacob
(son of Christopher), who i n 1748 went to what i s now Pendleton County,
West V i r g i n i a on the South Branch of the Potomac River. (Bernhard Seibert
was i n what i s now Shenandoah County, V i r g i n i a by 1750.) A group of Ger
mans went from Tulpehocken t o the South Branch. Among them were Henry
Lorentz, Matthias Theiss I I I and ( a f t e r 1750) Nicholas Haffner. Their
relationship i s shown here 1
Henry Lorentz stepfather of
P Jacob Seibert brother-in-law of Nicholas Haffner
i- m Elizabeth Theiss aunt of Matthias Theiss I I I
Jacob Seibert (W Va) bought a 210-acre farm on May 21-1755, the same
day as Nicholas Haffner bought one adjoining. Indian attacks led to the
k i l l i n g of Henry Lorentz May 16-1757; and on A p r i l 28-1758 Indians at
tacked Fort Seybert. Among those k i l l e d were Captain Jacob Seibert (Sey-
b e r t ) , his wife, his mother. How poorly America treated them! Six of his
children were captured by Indians 1 (approximate ages)
Nicholas 15, Margaret 12, Catharine 10, George 8, Henry 14, Elizabeth 2,
Nicholas was freed i n 1761 and went to Frederick County, Maryland. About
1777 he moved to (now) Highland County, V i r g i n i a , a few miles south of
Fort Seybert. The other children were freed i n 1764.
Augusta County, V i r g i n i a records show that on March 12-1758 (Jo)hanna
Seibert Lorentz signed t h i s statement 1
I do hereby empower my son, Jacob Sivers t o administer the estate of Henry Lorens deceased. W i l l Book 2, page 226,
English clerks always had trouble s p e l l i n g German surnames. On March 15
Jacob was named administrator. On November I6-I758 a f t e r the death of
Jacob, Wendel "Sibert" (of Pa), heir-at-law, refused to administer the
18
Henry Lorentz estate. (Order Book VI, 210) Letters were granted t o
Daniel Smith. Letters had already been granted on May 18-1758 to Daniel
Smith i n the Jacob Seibert estate. Both the Lorentz and Seibert estates
were f i n a l i z e d August I 9 - I 7 6 I . From the Lorentz estate money was paid
to Wendel Seibert; from the Seibert estate to Christian Lauer.
Augusta County records show the name of Nicholas Håffner i n the estate
papers of Jacob Seibert. He l i k e l y married a s i s t e r or step-sister of
Jacob Seibert. Håffner was naturalized i n Pennsylvania September 25-I750,
i n V i r g i n i a May I8-I762. His name appears i n the records u n t i l June 20-
I769. On that date his w i l l , w r i t t e n A p r i l 5, was probated. Appraisers
were Mathhias Dice (Theiss) and George Dice (Theiss). Elizabeth, the wi
dow of Nicholas, returned to Pennsylvania and on June 30-1770 married
Christian Lauer. Lauer's f i r s t wife was Elizabeth's s i s t e r or stepsister.

The widow of j l & i & j ^ i t S w e i l e r stated through her son Bernhard, that her son, i . e . , Bernhard's brother Jacob Seibert, a vassal of the government, who had learned i}he linenweaver's trade (according to a report of the Amt Nohfelden dated 1738) had gone to America taking with him 50 f l o r i n s . See page 29.
Matthes Gisch, stepson of Andreas Kniebes of Ausweiler, had likewise gone away (to America) i n 1733 and had received from his stepfather 40 f l o r i n s f o r the journey.
Likewise Christian Lauer of H i r s t e i n , son of Peter Lauer, a vassal of the Kellenbach government, a blacksmith by trade, had emigrated to America, i n order to perfect himself i n his trade, and he took along 4 reic h s t a l e r as t r a v e l i n g money. See page 38.
