Seiler Family
First Generation
Johannes Seiler (1751-1801) was a joiner living in the vicinity of Bethania when he asked to marry Anna Elisabeth Strub (1760-1818) in 1777. His request to move with her into the town of Bethania was initially denied, on the grounds that he was not a member of the Moravian church, but the marriage was not forbidden. He finally joined the Bethania community in 1786.
The name becomes Sailor or Saylor in later generations.
