I can't immediately answer your inquiry. Peter was a farmer in Indiana Township. Sharpsburg was then the post office address. I have a dim recolection of hearing about Peter from my family when I was a child. I believe he was a cousin of my father, but I am not certain. The local Seifrieds, so I remember being told, were all related. My records show that Peter was born on June 12, 1827 in Renish, Gossersweiler, Pfalz, Bayern and died June 15.1911 in Sharpsburg (probabaly Indiana Twp.) More than likely they are buried in St. Mary's Cemetery, but I am not certain. There is a St. Mary's Cemetary both in Sharpsburg and in Indiana Twp.,the larger one being in Sharpsburg and the other Seifrieds are buried there. I knew the Seiferts and vistied members of the family when I was a child in the thirties. Any answer I would attempt to furnish would be based upon speculation,however. I live in Indiana Twp., by the way. At any rate, if I discover anyting, I will be in touch.
