This is an old picture of my great grandpa John Robert Warwick's Aunt. It did not say which lady was Great Grandpa Warwick's Aunt. I can only assume, but perhaps Louisa Susan Warwick (Oct. 1835-11 Aug 1923) is seated on the right and Eli Seybert (Seibert) is seated on the left. The lady standing behind resembles my Great Grandma Signora Belle Gwin Warwick, but not sure if that is the lady in the background.

On doing some digging at Ancestry.com, I found that Louisa Susan Warwick, daughter of Robert Craig Warwick (1801-1845) and Esther "Hester" Hull/Hohl (1804-1853), married Eli Seybert (born 21 April 1831), in Seybert Hills, Pendleton, Virginia) in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, 31 October 1854. Eli served in the U.S. Confederate Soldiers 151 , 157 and 162 Militia with an enlistment date of 1861.

Louisa and Eli Seybert resided in Bath county, Virginia until we see them in the 1876 census Eli Seybert shows up in Eight Mile Grove, Case, Nebraska State census as a farmer, age 45 years, with his wife Louisa (40 years of age), Mary A. Seybert (1859-), Joseph (1861-), and Ruth (76 years, must be Eli's mother). The 1880 census shows them back in Highland county, Virginia. I also show them also with a son, Robert W. Seybert (Seibert), born 4 October 1855, in Virginia. But do not see him listed in the Nebraska or Oklahoma census. Did Robert W. Seybert die young or move off on his own? Does the "W" stand for "Warwick" or "William?"

The 1900 US census shows their residence as Galena Township, west half, Woods county, Oklahoma Territory. In the 1910 US census they show up in Eagle Chief, Alfalfa, Oklahoma. Louisa Susan Warwick Seybert (Seibert) died 11 August 1923, Lambert, Alfalfa county, Oklahoma. I am not for sure when Great grandparent Warwick's came to Oklahoma or if they came with the Seybert family. Are there any descendants of Galena or Lambert, Alfalfa County, Oklahoma that might have had ancestors that knew of my Seybert (Seibert) relatives?


Here is another inquiry from another person looking for information on the Butts family born in Wewoka, Oklahoma. This comment appeared in our OkieLegacy Ezine, Feature #5587, Vol. 12, Iss. 26 Jane Butts is,"Looking for info on Butts family: Virgil, John Wesley; my father John Richard Butts born Wewoka (Oklahoma), 1918."
