Note: Civil War veteran. Throop thought this may be Daniel's brother, but da te of birth on his tombstone (8-31-1823) conflicts with birth date of oth er children in the family (if he was born 8-31-1823, Samuel could not be b orn 1-11-1824). His date of birth from the notebook of his mother Elizabe th Seibert is 1-14-1820. Note that this is the same day and month as h is brother Henry. In tax records John is shown older than Henry. The re is a John Siders listed in Co. G, 200th Regiment [Middletown Volunteers ]. In 1850 it may be he who is in Londonderry Twp., Lebanon Co., PA, p. 31 4, as John Siders 27 laborer, with wife Rebecca 23, Mary 4, and Leander 2. In 1870 it may be he who is in Mount Joy, Lancaster Co., PA, p. 33, as Jo hn Sider 46 farmer, with wife Rebecca 44, and son John 15. He is in the 1880 census, Mt. Joy, Lancaster Co., PA, p. 231C, as John Sid ers Sr. 57 farmer, Rebecca 53 wife. Also in the 1880 census, Mt. Joy, p. 235D, is Leander Siders 32 farmer & b lacksmith, Marey 28 wife, Minnie 8 daughter, Masie 2 daughter, William 1/ 12 son. This could be another son of John S. There is a marriage at Tabor 1st Reformed Ch., Lancaster, PA, between Jo hn Zeiders and Rebecca Cox on 9-4-1848. However, this was two years aft er the birth of their daughter Mary A. I cannot find the family in 1850. I broused 100 pages in 1860 census in M t. Joy Twp. and Mt. Joy Borough and found no John Seiders. After long consideration, I have attached him to the family of Jacob Zeit er b. 1797, because I cannot find any other place to put him. This is n ot proven. It may be simply that his date of birth on the tombstone is wr ong.
