My husband was a Seward. His family do not use computer so im here for them. George Washington Seward was his grandfather and we only know he lived in Wisc. and MN. We heard a Stern/Stearn or some thing took in two Seward boys, George and James and that was in MN. No idea when he was born but my guess would be ca 1849 or so. But wondering where they came from to get to our part of the country. I thank you. Viola. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
