General Notes: Husband - Peter Sheibley

---

The first of the Sheibley name to cross the Atlantic for the shores of the New World, he settled in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and from there entered the Continental army and served the entire eight years of the struggle of the colonials for their political liberty. Returning after peace had been declared, he located near Oley, Berks County, and later moved to Green Park, Tyrone township, Perry County (at that time Cumberland County), where he took up wild land, cleared, improved and cultivated it, erecting thereon houses for himself and family. He died on this place.

He was the father of twenty-seven children, eighteen of whom reached maturity.
