Hello, Lauren,

I had missed this post until today, when your background information
caught my eye.

Maj. Peter SEIBERT was my gggf's brother. Peter married Margaret KNODE
after the death of another brother, John SEIBERT, and thus she was
Margaret Knode Seibert Seibert. Peter and Margaret had at least one
daughter, Eliza SEIBERT, who married John CRIDER, but this is all I
have for children of this family.

Does the estate distribution of Jacob KNODE Sr. list his grandchildren
as well as his children? I would be most interested to find this out.

Also, was the Torchlight the Hagerstown paper?

Thanks very much,
Chanda Seibert Blitch
Hickory, NC
