Seeger b 1849 Prussia, immigrant 1872, SC census 1880
Looking for information on Henry Arthur Seeger born 1849 of Greenville SC who came to America from Prussia in 1872.He is located in the household of Stephen Poole on the records for the 1880 SC census.Census records show his origin in 1880 as Prussia.In the 1900 census Henry Seeger's number of years in the US are listed as 28.Under naturalization are the letters "Pa." Another researcher of this same family name has given a possible city of origin as Regensburg. It is interesting that Seeger came at the same time that Germany was unified under Emporer Wilhelm I (Jan 18, 1871). This fact raises a question; did Henry Seeger leave to avoid being forced into military service or to escape from further military service that he was already serving?
Can anyone offer any help in locating information on this Prussian man?
