Note: data obtained from Linda Worstell January 1998 says that George L. married four times and then there is a note about his 1880 living arrangements (does this come from a census?) saying that children Harry, Emma, Lucy and Martha are living with him and "Emma" and are from "Emma's" first marriage.
Then the notes show four children by the exact same names, birth dates and birth places as being issue of George and Emma (Cleveland) Kuhl. Linda's notes also say that "Gilbert and Emma had no children" -- though I assume this refers to the "second" Emma. Part of the confusion comes, I think, from the fact that Gilbert had two wives with the same first name Emma -- and almost identical last names (see proposition below that they are actually the same person).
I have concluded the following:
1 - Gilbert L. Seybold had no issue, so I have removed the four children Linda showed for him and Emma Cleveland (with the same names as those from her first marriage).
2 - The four children -- Harry, Emma, Lucy and Martha -- are from Emma Cleveland's first marriage and therefore the children of George Maxwell Kuhl.
3 - The "Emma Keull" could actually be "Mrs. Emma (Cleveland) Kuhl" -- i.e. one and the same person.
4 - The information that says "Gilbert and Emma are living together in Pueblo, Colorado" in 1880 conflicts with his marriage to unknown> in 1874 -- one year after marrying Emma Keull. I do not know where the information about the unknown spouse is derived from, but I think it's suspect.

| Notes |
- An old history of Pike County states that when James and Olive Seybold settled in Fairmount township in 1835 the nearest human habitation was a log cabin 6 miles away. James and Olive built themselves a house -- a 2 story frame structure, 32' x 28', containing 4 large rooms, 2 on each floor. The house is still standing and has been restored to an almost original condition by descendents. It is known as "The Old Seybold Place". They purchased about 500 acres there in 1835. The following year, he bought another 80 acres adjoining it but in Adams county.
The "Portrait and Biographical Album of Pike & Calhoun Co., ILL", 1891 says that when the war broke out James was past the years of army service but he finally succeeded in joining the 27th Illinois Infantry. Owing to his age he was assigned to hospital duty during a period of more than a year. Four of his sons entered the service with him and one gave up his life for his country.
