Death report taken from Moravian church record at Graceham, Maryland: "John George Siess, Jr. was born n Heidelberg, Pa. He was married in Graceham, Md. They had nine children, six sons and three daughters; two daughters preceded him in death. Eighteen grandchildren, sixteen living at this time (1823). Minister, John P. Kluge."
From "Descendants of my Great-Grandparents" by Mrs. A. R. Laura Willhide Johnston, assisted by Frank A. Johnston, c.1924. "John George Seiss, Jr. was a farmer and owned and lived upon a large farm less than a mile from Graceham. His great-grandson, Daniel L. Seiss lives upon what was a part of this farm. The house that was the home of John George Seiss, Jr., is still standing and is being used as a farmhouse. Originally and until very recently it had only one door, a large heavy door, a barrier against the Indians of the times in which the one-door house was built. This old door has the initials, "G.S.," made upon it, outlined by the heads of brass nails driven into it. The door, though not in use, is still preserved and, during a recent visit in Graceham, I had the pleasure of seeing it. When this old door was replaced in the house, two other outside doors were also provided."
