He emigrated in 1849-1850, and was to have purchased some land north of Belpre, a place called Gobblers Knob. He came with a son and 3 or 4 daughters.He and his Wife, Ann Shackleton were born in England about 1801. She died in Pittsburgh in 1849. William Seffens is buried in the Perdue (Perdew) family cemetery. One of his daughters, married William Perdue and he went to live with them when he became ill, and died their. Any information anyone might have on any of the family would be greatly appreciated. My name is John Layton and I live in Cibolo, Texas, just to the east of San Antonio. I retired from the USAF in 1974, and decided to wait until almost all my relation that could have helped answer these questions, died, before I decided to find my wife's and my roots. Probably just like about 99 percent of us out their. > > > > > Please pray for our military, police and firefighters. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
