I note the Querry to "Hugh" about Seivers on this list. I am related to a very early family named Severs/Seaver (later Severs consistently) and would like to know if anyone else is researching them on this list. He was a contemporary of Phillip Sieber/Seiber and in the minutes of Anderson Co from l802 begining. The last names were butchered so badly they could not be separated except by use of the first names in those minutes. Hugh was a name frequently used by this group of Severs and its origin , for them , is not known Descendants of WILLIAM SEVERS 1 WILLIAM SEVERS 1750/51 - 1852 b: 09 Feb 1750/51 in born Johannes Wilhelm Siebert Metzebach Germany d: 25 Aug 1852 in nodaway co Missouri a blacksmith . +Catherine Peck 1770 - 1830 b: Abt. 1770 in probably VA d: Aft. 1830 in probably Anderson Co TN m: 14 Oct 1793 in Montgomery Co.
