I'm searching for the parents of an Eva Sifert who married Abner Willis in 1803 in Wythe Co Va..Some have identified her father as George Ludwig Siffert of Rowan Co NC.George Ludwig is supposed to have been descended from Stephan Syffrig.I'm more interested in verifying that Eva Sifert was George Ludwig's daughter.
As far as I've been able to determine thethe linkage is simply based on the will of George Ludwigwho died before 1789 in Rowan Co. NC.That will lists an Eva as a daughter.If this is the same person as my Eva, she would probably have been under 10 years of age, but this is generally consistent with her marrying in 1803.I've speculated that if these are the same persons, she may have been raised by a brother or sister, and brought to Wythe Co.There are several Seifers families in the area, but nothing to suggest that they were connected to Eve.
