Hi Charles, I didn't see a section on Severs, but there is a couple of pages on the Seiber Family submitted by Keith Seiber. Unfortunately, the book isn't indexed, but the sections are arranged so you can find things pretty easily. The family sections are arranged alphabetically, so it's easy to locate the major family headings. Like I mentioned yesterday, the "Bicentennial History of Anderson County 1796-1996" is $45 plus $5 shipping. Book is hardback cover with 496 pages and over 200 pictures. You can send a check to: Pellissippi Genealogical and Historical Society 118 So. Hicks St. Clinton, TN 37716 ... or, can visit Mary Harris at the Anderson County archives to pick up a copy and save the shipping charges.

Some years ago Mary Harris was doing research on a family who came to Anderson Co that had 6 daughters and 6 Sons in law. Three of the Sons in Law were named Seiber, Seeber, Seeber, or similar to Severs and she thought William Severs born l752 and married to Catherine Peck was one of the sons in law. I am sure that was not the case but wonder if she ever completed that research. I have traced a family legend of a Hessian Soldier and William l752 seems to be the only candidate to a Johannes Wilhelm Siebert born l751 who deserted the von Wissenbach troops in July of l782 who were in Savanna GA. The next record of William Severs was in Montgomery Co VA in l793 when he married Catherine Peck. In l793 Montgomery County was HUGE and included Kentucky and , maybe, Tennessee. He was later in Knox Co TN, before Anderson Co was formed and in Anderson County just after formation. I believe he was in the part of Anderson Co that was taken from Knox Co. I have traced the Hessian soldier to a family in Metzebach Germany just South of Kassel hoping for a direct male but have been unable to trace the descendency for a dna test. Since I know the exact birth date for J W Siebert , The birth date for William Severs would be WONDERFUL for comparison. The Hessian was born before the Calender change of l752 and some adjustment of the DOB might have occurred .. This is a good PUZZLE HELP NEED DOB of William Severs born Ca l752 + or - 2 years. Any SUGGESTIONS appreciated. He lived in ANderson Co from its formation to l848. Surely he had to fill out a form of some sort that is still LYING AROUND. He lived until l852 but his tombstone says age l00 but no DOB. He was buried in Nodaway Co Mo Many THANKS Charles Severs In a message dated 02/24/08 18:25:26 Eastern Standard Time, rpevans@att.net writes: Like I mentioned yesterday, the "Bicentennial History of Anderson County 1796-1996" is $45 plus $5 shipping.

Hi Charles, I will check with Mary at the PGHS meeting on Thursday to see if she continued her research on this family.
