John Charles Seitz, (USA)

The son of Jacob G. & Barbara (Charles) Seitz, he married Charlotte Herr August 15, 1859, in Manor Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and fathered Jacob H., John H., Aaron H., Susan H., Isaiah Herr (b. 01/30/69), and Barbara H. (Odds are that they all had "Herr" for a middle name.) In 1860, he was a farmer living in Manor Township and stood 5' 5" tall with dark hair and blue eyes.

A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Lancaster August 24, 1864, mustered into federal service there August 27 as a private with Co. H, 203rd Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company June 22, 1865.
