David Seifert indicates in 1/2007-I have reviewed a letter that my Great Grandfather George wrote concerning this very topic of land. In summary, he believes that John I originally owned land in Northampton County and after the war (1787-?)bought the farm (Moldivia) in Springtown. He also says that John II lived on the Christine farm. No comment on William. Further says he is buried on the farm of Mr. Christine with his wife and a child or two.
