Henry and Susan had four sons: John Seybert, born on 7 July 1791, who would later become the first Bishop of the Evangelical Church, he died at age 68 on 4 January 1860 and is buried at Flat Rock Cemetery in Seneca County, Ohio; Christian Seybert who died in infancy; Henry Seybert, who also died in infancy; and our ancestor David Seybert, who was born on the 29th of April 1799 and died on the 29th of December 1882. David Seybert is buried in Sidener Cemetery in Van Buren Township, Lagrange County, Indiana.
Taken from the first chapter of the Life and Labors of John Seybert, the First Bishop of the Evangelical Association, by Rev. S.P. Spreng, dated 1888.
David Seybert 1799-1882, Sidener Cemetery, Van Buren Township, Lagrange County, Indiana.
David Seybert appeared in the 1830 Federal Census of Mill Creek Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania:
In 1840 David was again enumerated in Mill Creek Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania:
Head of household males under 5 years males of ten and under 15 years males of 30 and under 40 years females of 5 and under 10 years females of 30 and under 40 years David Seybert 1 1 1 2 1
John Seybert, and his father, David Seybert, were both living in Erie County in 1850. David was enumerated in Mill Creek Township and his son John was living in McKean Township (see below). David Seybert's 1850 household consisted of himself, age 41, he listed his occupation as a cooper, his birthplace was listed as Pennsylvania; also listed was Elizabeth, age 56, born in Pennsylvania and Aaron Seybert, age 14, also born in Pennsylvania.

In 1860, at age 61, David "Sibert", a cooper by occupation, was living with his daughter Maria and her husband, Noah Hershey in Summit Township, Post Office Erie, Erie County, Pennsylvania (see below).
In 1870 David Seybert was living in the household of what is presumably his daughter, Magdelena and his son-in-law, Nathaniel Davidson, in Van Buren Township, Post Office Scott, Lagrange County, Indiana (see below).
David Seybert was recorded for the last time in the household of his son, Aaron David Seybert in 1880, in Van Buren Township, Lagrange County, Indiana (see below). He died on 2 December 1882
The biography of his son-in-law Noah Hershey gives David's wife's name as Elizabeth Hesler and also stated that David and Elizabeth had 8 children, 4 of whom were still living in 1884 at the time of publication.
David Seybert's son-in-law, Noah Hershey, gave David's wife's name as Elizabeth Hesler and also stated that David and Elizabeth had 8 children, 4 of whom were still living in his 1884 biography. I have listed only the names of those four children named in the 1884 biography.
The known children of David Seybert were:
John and Christianna Seybert, Riverside Cemetery in Howe, Indiana.
1.1 John Seybert, was born on 18 August 1818 in Pennsylvania and died on 8 January 1894 in Lagrange County, Indiana. John and his wife, Christianna, who was born on 28 January 1819 and died on 8 July 1890 are both buried in Riverside Cemetery, just outside of Howe, in Lagrange County, Indiana.
There is a marriage record for John Seybert and Christiana Merrils in Cuyahoga County, Ohio dated 22 June 1843 (actual image). I can't imagine how/why they were married there and then were recorded living in Erie County in 1850.
They were first recorded in the 1850 Federal Census of McKean Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, enumerated on the 19th of November:
Ten years later, in 1860, the John and Christianna Seybert family was enumerated in Lima Village, Post Office Lima, Lagrange County, Indiana, recorded on the 23rd of June:

1.3 Magdelena or Martha Seybert, according to her husband's biography was born on the 24th of April 1832 in Erie County, Pennsylvania. I believe that her marriage to Nathaniel Davidson was her second, her name is listed as "Gerst" in his biography, which appeared in the "History LaGrange County, Indiana" 1882, by F.A. Battey & Co (Van Buren Township--there is a Emma Gerst, age 17, birthplace Pennsylvania, listed in their 1870 household that may have been her daughter by her first husband):
"NATHANIEL DAVIDSON is a native of Lancaster County, Penn., where he was born June 17, 1831. His parents were natives of the same county; his father, Michael Davidson, was born March 1, 1794, and his mother, Rebecca Davidson, May 12, 1794. In 1840, they removed to Erie County, Penn., where Michael Davidson died in February, 1869, and she is yet living.

The subject went to Erie County, Penn., with his parents, and remained nine years; he then went to Erie City to learn the shoemaker's trade. After serving an apprenticeship of three years he returned home, then again resumed his trade in Erie City, and was employed by various parties. In 1854, he came to Goshen, Ind., made a limited sojourn, and went back to Pennsylvania. In 1855, he went to Iowa, and after spending two years there returned again to his native State, and was married, October 8, 1857, to Mrs. Martha Gerst, who was born in Erie County, Penn., April 24, 1832. In 1861, they came to La Grange County, and located in this township. They lived four years with his parents, then Mr. Davidson went to the village of Van Buren, where he was engaged in working at this trade about three years. The following nine years he was employed in working on the home farm, removing then to his present farm, of 198 acres, in Section 27.
