Surnames: Sybert, Sibert, Siebert, Seibert, Sibert, Long, Diterick, Miller, Conner, etc.
Cynthia: I have been doing some additional research on your Henry Sybert. I have an interest in that my Barnard Sybert came to Champaign County, Oh from PA around 1852. He stayed in Champaign County a short time and then moved on to Putnam County, OH. I have been unable to connect him to any of the Sybert, Seibert, Seybert, or Sibert's from the PA or VA area. Though perhaps he might have been related to Henry so that is the reason I have been searching for Henry's ancestors.
Here is what I have found. The 1850 Champaign County census shows Henry and Catherine were born in VA. Now her is the rub. In 1770, West VA didn't yet exist. I have found a Henry Sibert in Berkeley county, WVA and also a Henry Siebert in Shenandoah County, VA. In 1770 both Shenandoah county and Berkeley County were part of Frederick County, VA. In 1776 Frederick County was subdivided into Frederick and Berkeley counties. Later in 1791there was a further subdivision into Berkeley, Frederick and Shenandoah counties. I believe that W.VA didn't exist until after the Civil War or came into existance about that time.
Now the Henry Siebert I found in Shenandoah County, VA married a Catherine Lickliter in 1805. A record of their marriage is listed a www.usgenweb.com site under Shenandoah County, VA listing of marriages. However, in order of that to be the correct Henry, he would have to have been born abt 1776 since the Henry in Champaign County was 74 years old in 1850. Now, Catherine Lickliter was born in 1781, so that jibes pretty well with the age of Catherine in the 1850 census which showed her age at 68. If this is the right Henry, he would have to have been born in 1776.
Now, there is also a Henry Seibert(Sibert) who was the son of Johan Wendel Seibert. Johan Wendel was born in Berks County, PA and migrated to Berkeley County, VA. His son Henry married a Catherine Butterbaugh, I believe. However, I don't think his birthdate would match up a well. And finally, there is another Henry who married Catherine Noll. Again, I don't think birthdates match up. I found the info on Rootsweb.com regarding Henry and Catherine Lickliter. There is quite a bit of info on Catherine's father, mother and siblings.
The other thing that is interesting is that there is also a D. Lickliter listed in the 1840 Champaign County census in the same township as Henry. Based on his age, I think this D. Lickliter is David Lickliter, a younger brother of Catherine. Catherine and David's father was Johan Adam Lickliter and thier mother was Catherine Schmidt. Johan Adam was born 29 Apr 1754 in Berks County, PA . David Lickliter's wife's name was Catheine Clem. They are also listed in the 1850 census for Champaign County.
If I find anything else out I will notify you.
