Conrad’s name appears with Martin’s as they enter England. However, I read recently that Conrad’s children died in England. I know that he did not come to New York with Martin. I’ve always thought that if he lived through the tough days in England, on Blackheath and the boat where they had to stay for quite a while before shipping out that he was probably on another boat to America and probably went to another colony. I guess I could go back and look at the history and see where the other boats went. I know they all did not go to New York State.
I think I wrote you a while ago that we definitely established our link through a perfect match with my brother’s DNA and another Siver in New York. I know that my great-grandfather, Michael Henry Siver, was born September 9, 1830 in Minden, NY. To find my ancestor I have to go back to the years between 1709 and 1830. I am thinking that Michael Siver, born 1808 in Minden, and the son of Jacob Siver, is a likely candidate. But after his baptismal date, I can find no further information. I contacted Jean Simoneau, and he said he thought my assumptions was correct BECAUSE he had searched all over New York State and found no death certificate. He was convinced that Michael Siver was one of the Sivers who went to Michigan during Michigan Fever. For Michael my assumptions were:
1. Every male Siver seemed to name one son after himself. The fact that the family always refered to him as Michael Henry suggested that he had been named after his father and they used two names to stop any confusion.
2. That Michael Siver had taken his family and gone to Michigan.
3. We know that Michael Henry Siver was in Michigan in the mid-1850’s when he would have been in his early 20’s.
4. Michigan did not open up for white settlers to the 1830’s because there were too many treaties with the Indians, and these treaties did not end till about 1836.
5. I do know that a Elizabeth Siver, daughter of a William Siver, went with her husband to Kalamazoo. She lived there all her life and is buried in the Kalamazoo Cemetery. Michael Henry bought land in Kalamazoo County.
6. People usually travel to wherever they already know people.
7. There were Sivers from New York State around Detroit. I have read letters they wrote after the Civil War. One of them sent me some letters her ancestor, Jane Siver, wrote. They moved to Canada.
The matching DNA’s belong to John Richard Siver (New York) and John Richard Siver (Florida). Yes, they have the exact same name. Isn’t that delightful!
