……3 John SEIBER was born about 1816 in Anderson County, Tennessee to Rev. John SEIBER and Malinda 'Milly' LIVELY.  He died before 1850.  He married Barbary LEINART about 1836. She was born about 1814 to Jacob LEINART and Margaret ‘Peggy’ SADDLER.

NOTE: (1) Barbary(a) was granddaughter of Frederick Saddler.  One of the first settlers of Anderson Co., TN. 
(2) I am putting a deed on here which is made between John Seiber Jr. and  John Seiber Sr. Looking at the 1830 (there were only 2 John’s).  One is Rev. John and Malinda the other is John that married Barbary Leinart. This deed was made 1836 and if John Jr. was born about 1815 or 1816 he would have been of age.  Perhaps this land was given to him as a wedding gift and he is selling it to purchase land elsewhere. Just a thought.
