Johannes Seipels [sic] & Anna Margaretha Kreutzer were married 23 April 1766 in the Lutheran Church of Büdingen.
Johann Seibel, a farmer, and his wife, Anna, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 13 September 1766 on a ship under the command of skipper Johann Grapp along with several other families that settled in the colony of Dietel.
He is recorded on the 1798 census of Dietel in Household No. Dt67 along with his new wife Margaretha Dietrich and children.
Jakob Seibel, his sons, and his grandsons are recorded on the 1811 census of Dietel in Household No. 67.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann [Jakob] Seibel family came from the German region of the Pfalz. Andreas Idt and Georg Rauschenbach report that Johann Jakob Seibel came from the German village of Hamheim am Rhein [perhaps Monheim am Rhein?].
