Notes
a. Note:   In 1840 it is probably he who is M 10-14 in the household of Frederick Sid er in Kensington 3rd Ward Philadelphia, PA. In 1850 he is Godfrey Seitte rs with his brother Gotleib 30 Germany and his wife Rosanna 29 France a nd their son George 2/12, his mother Christiana 58 Germany, in Kensingt on 5th Ward Philadalphia, p. 361, and is said to be 20 a laborer. It mig ht be he who in 1860 is Godfrey Seder 22 Germany in Philadelphia 22nd War d, p. 6.. Searching for all named Godfrey, I did not find h im in MO or OH in 1860. A court document from Montgomery Co., OH, shows t hat he served in Co. D., 18th U.S. Infantry, probably during the Civil Wa r. For information on the Regiment see: http://www.ohiocivilwar.com/18us .html. He is in the roster as Godfrey Seiders. In 1870 he is Godfrey Se itters 30 farmer MO in Harrison Twp. Montgomery Co., OH, p. 500, with wi fe Mary 23 PA, son William F. 3 OH, and daughter Lucy V. 1 OH. In 18 80 he is Godfrey Seiters in Wayne, Montgomery Co., OH, p. 824A, with wi fe and children, a farmer age 40. In 1900 he is in Dayton, Montgomery C0 ., OH, p. 169A, as Godfrey Seitters b. Feb 1839 no occupation born in MO w ith both parents born in Germany, with wife and children. In 1840 and 18 50 his birth calculates to 1829-39, whereas in 1880, 1900, and his death c ertificate it is 1839. If he were born in 1839, he would not fit with t he ages of the children in the 1840 census, but he does if he were bo rn in 1830. I think he shaved 10 years in later life, perhaps so he wou ld not show himself to be so much older than his wife. The above suggests he was born in Germany about 1830, came to Philadelph ia with his family and stayed there at least until 1860. He may have marr ied in PA since his wife is said to have been born there, but by 1866 he w as in Montgomery Co., OH, where his first child was born, and where he liv ed the rest of this life. His death certificate says he died Sept. 15, 1915, aged 76 years, 7 month s, 5 days (born 2-10-1839). It lists his father as Godfrey Seitters and h is mother as Christian [Christiana] Knight and gives her parents. The na me of the father was really Frederick. The informant was Geo. Seitters, h is son.
