I am starting a research project using a combination of cluster and surname analysis.
The Seeber migration to Illinois from New York.
Several of the Seeber’s migrated from New York to Illinois, settling mostly in McHenry, Lake and DeKalb Counties. Of main interest to me is David Seeber, my 3rd great Grandfather, who migrated to Illinois with his son, Lorenzo, and Lorenzo's family. My interest stems from his will, which is witnessed by Garrett Seeber. There is a Garrett seeber of the same generation, from the same state (New York) living in McHenry County (not too far away). Are they related? Brothers? Cousins?
According to the General Land Office (GLO) the following Seeber’s held land in Illinois
Sylvanus Seeber (b May 1823) wife: Celestia (b 1827)
