(Both are as far back as mom was able to take this line from records in the German archives. Mom discovered family charts at the Mormon library in about 1985 from Herman "Carl" Seifferlein's 1930 chart. She sent this 13 page chart to many family members. Duane Kleino has the original chart, Jun 2013. )

Thank you both to my mom, Elnora Seifferlein Leyes and a Dolores Demmer Gailey for this German and Michigan research over twenty-five years ago! A cousin gives a birth year of 1825. This headstone photograph is illegible. I am using my mom's notes of 1828.
