Hi.. After a little more research, I've found some information on James Seckler and his wife Barbara. Still, they seem to have vanished and I can not find any info regarding their deaths or more info on their children.
I'm looking for James and Barbara Seckler, born about 1841 and a846, respectively. They had three children - Edward (1869 - ), Rose (1872 - 1940) and Josephine (1878 - ). Rose married Jacob Herkey, my great grandfather. I can find them in the 1880 census in Buffalo, NY and in city directories during the 1870's.
My additional research tells me that James enlisted in 1863 as a Union soldier and was dishonorably discharged in 1865.
Hoping someone has some additional information or knowledge about the family.
Thanks.. Tom
