Remarks

Seighfried may have had a brother named Fred, but he also may be the person referred to as Fred himself. From an Email from Barb Schultz to Eric Grivel, January 24, 2000: Some of the family history refers to 3 boys, other to 4 boys. Also, Alfreddy, son of George and Lydia, was supposed to have been named for his uncles: Alpheus Dubel, brother of Lydia, and Fred, brother of George. However, there is no hard evidence of a Fred, yet. He may have died or left home before the 1850 census (he is not with the rest of the family then), or he may be the same person as Seighfried/Cephus. On the marriage record, Seighfried married Hannah Baker. On the birth records of the children, and on land records, Cephus is the husband of Hannah. He may have used his first name sometimes and his middle name sometimes, and the family may have used the nickname "Fred"; or Seighfried ("Fred") may have married Hannah, then died or left, and Cephus then married Hannah, although there are no death or second marriage records for this. Anyway, there may or may not be a Fred.

From an Email from Barb Schultz, January 28, 2000: In 1860, 1868, and 1871 [Seighfried and Hannah] lived in Hancock Co., OH. In 1875 and 1877 they lived in Deshler, Henry Co., OH. In 1877 Cephus sold some land in Deshler, OH. He signed an autograph book for his niece (George's daughter Rachel) in Iowa. The autograph book says it was given to Rachel May Grivel on her eighth birthday, which would mean she received it in 1881, and so Cephus must have been in Iowa then or soon after. So far we have not been able to find a death date or place for him. If the Cephus Gribel who homesteaded in South Dakota in 1885 is the same person, he may have died there before there were any death records kept. Anyway, he was still alive in about 1881.
