Seiz, Seitz or Sides Family


First Generation

Laurentius Seiz or Seitz came to Broad Bay, Maine, in 1742 from Eitesheim, Wurttemburg, with his second wife, born Anna Maria Actnuderer, and two children. He served in the French and Indian War, taking his family along to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, for three years, then returned to Broad Bay. He was ambushed and killed by Indians on his farm in 1757.

Note: the German spelling of this name is SEIZ. Early American records usually render it SEITZ. By mid-19th century it had become SIDES, the modern spelling.
