Abigail Noyer married Samuel Elder and their daughter Lydia Elder married Alva French. Hence the French children. (6 children-3 of which reached adulthood and married). One child of Lydia/Alva French was Chancey m) Ada Sipes had three children- Lowell (abt 1903), Lucille (abt 1904) and Lloyd (abt 1909) that died at age 10. Abigails sister was Sophia Noyer that married Jacob Seif II. The Noyers, Seifs, and Elders all arrived abt the same time to N. Bloomfield twp from different places and lived very close to each other. I descend through Isaac Noyer, brother of Abigail and Sophia. Would love to talk more regarding Jacob Seif and will email you directly since not pertient to this board. Kathie

This gives me a lot clues for connecting Ada Sipes (and the French family) with our family. Yes, I'm a direct descendant of Jacob Seif II. He is my great-great grandfather. Jacob Seif II --Solomon Seif ----Charles Q. Seif ------Lawrence Milo Seif --------Wilma Jean Seif How about you? Are you related to Jacob II in some way? Are you familiar with the Seif Family genealogy book? My great grandfather (Solomon Seif) married Margaret Ann Sipes (11 July 1865). They named one of their sons (my grandfather) Charles Queal Seif, and I'm also trying to find the Seif or Sipes connection to the Queals who are also connected to the French family. I believe Margaret Ann Sipes had a brother who was Atchison Queal Sipes. I have also found a man named Atchison Queal who married Lucy French. Then, I have Ada Sipes who married Chauncey French. I believe all of the families (Seif, Sipes, Queal, and French) were living in Morrow County at the same time. Oh, what a tangled web it is! But, isn't it fun to sort it all out! Thanks, again! Wilma
