NOTE: This line is still being researched. It has been folklore for years that Philip Jr. died on his way back from the War of 1812 while with his brother Samuel. It is said that it is one of the stories told everytime that they have the Seiber reunion. These facts that I've found March 2002 disprove this story. Recieved his pension file 5 July 2002 and it proves that Philip did NOT die as it has been told for years. His pension file included a Bible record. If you have further information you would like to share I would love to hear from you... Wanda … 2 Philip SEIBER Jr. was born 6 October 1794 in Maryland to Philip SEIBER Sr. and his first wife who is UNKNOWN. Philip died 9 or 29 November 1838. Philip married Courntey LIVELY on 30 December 1813 near Clinton, in Anderson County, Tennessee. She was born 12 June 1795. NOTE: (1)Was on jury 1814 in Anderson Co, TN. He is not found in Anderson County, again. But is in Benton Co, AL by 1837. (2)It appears that Courtney is the mother of David, George and John; who are found in Benton Co, AL in 1850. David is married and living next door to Courtney. Could not prove connection to Philip Jr. until I received his pension file.
