He was born in 1823 and had a son in 1862, so the wedding would be anytime in the early 1840's to prior to 1862. Thanks so very much, Gina Scott Kaiserlautern, Germany >> Hi Gina, A search through all of our Huron County, Ohio publications brought up the following references to a Philip SEEL. However, these references might not all relate to the same person. 1. Index to the Commemorative Biographical Record of Huron and Lorain Counties, Ohio, by J.H. Beers & Co., 1894. Philip SEEL. page 239. (Unfortunately, I don't hold a copy of the book itself). 2. Huron County, Ohio Marriages, by Scheuer Publications, 1992. Philipp SEEL m. Elizabeth BENDER 20 Sep 1868. (But this would be after the birth of the son in 1862 that you cited). 3. Death Index, 1867-1908, Huron County, Ohio. Philipp SEEL d. 11/24/1892. 4. 1870 Census Index, Huron County, Ohio. Philip SEEL, age 58, born Nassau, census page 355A, Lyme Township. (This would give his birth year as ca 1812 instead of 1823). 5. 1880 Census Index, Huron County, Ohio. Phillip SEEL, Ridgefield Twp, 204D. 6. History of the Fire Lands, by W./W. Williams, 1879. Page 95. Roster of Soldiers, Civil War. Under Company H, 107th OVI: Private Philip SEEL promoted Corporal January 1, 1864; mustered out with Company. 7. 1891 Atlas, Huron County, Ohio. Philip SEEL, Ridgefield Twp, page 13, section 4, lot 17, 92.43 acres. Regards, Ken Shute, in MD (kwsroots@aol.com).
