General Notes: Husband - Christopher Seebold, Jr.


After the removal of the family to Union County, Pennsylvania, he assisted his father in the mill for a time, but in 1795 or '96 he settled at New Berlin, and became one of the leading citizens of the growing town. He followed boating as an occupation at first, running a small boat between New Berlin and various points on the Susquehanna river and Penn's creek, which was found to be navigable for such craft, horses being employed to pull them up stream. He carried produce to the markets down the river, and on his return trip brought up articles of merchandise. Later he kept a tavern, and as the town developed, certain real-estate investments became profitable. When Union County was organized, New Berlin was made the county seat, and the court house and county offices were built on his land, his donation towards the cost of erection being $200. In 1813 he was appointed justice of the peace, and in 1820 he was elected county treasurer. Politically he favored the Democratic party until the anti-Masonic agitation. In religious faith he was a Lutheran.
