Letters, 1841-1861.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122567912

More than two dozen transcribed letters, 1841-1861, to and from members of the Seibels family, including father John T. Seibels in Columbia, S.C., and his sons, Emmet in Mt. Willing, S.C. and John Jacob in Montgomery, Ala. The letters discuss financial matters, national politics, sermons, crops and cotton, local news, and Negroes. Several letters from the senior Seibels, Columbia, are to his wife, who is apparently vacationing in the the S.C. mountains. Topics are similar to those discussed with his sons. There is also a letter, 1847 Mar. 17, from John J. Seibels in Montgomery to his father in Columbia that mentions the writer is editing the Montgomery Flag and Advertiser, and that ex-President Polk has just visited the city.

Both migrated to Tennessee, where they practiced law and entered politics, and both were elected president of the United States.
