I was pleased when I found this info. Captain Benjamin Schiller was the
godfather of Telesphore, the father of Seraphine (Mrs FX Laurion) the grandmother
of my grandfater
on mother side. Thank you John for mentioning it to the list. In my article
on Dr Schiller, I have a copy of the records for the baptism of Telesphore with
signature of both August and his son Benjamin.
