Bob Seng writes:

Conrad Seng was born in Hesse, Germany on 29 December 1814

He was a Farmer & Bee Keeper.  He owned 160 acres of land in the SE 1/4 of Section 34 of Washington Township and built the house on this land.

Conrad Seng married Elizabeth Pfeiffer in Tazewell County on 29 September 1840They had 5 children:

Name Date of Birth
Sebastian 17 October 1841
Anna Katherine 1 April 1844
Elizabeth 2 September 1846
William 16 July 1849
Maria 13 June 1854

William was my great-grandfather.

Conrad was naturalized on 14 March 1853.

Conrad died in Washington Township, Tazewell County and is buried in Higgins Cemetery.

I'm sorry I don't know when the pictures were taken. Most likely after 1838.
