Rochester, New York
Dear Sir:
Reference
is made to your request for information in regard to the Revolutionary War
pension claim of Henry Seber.
The data
which follow were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, S.37469, based
upon the disability of Henry Seeber, which disability incurred during his military
service.
Henry Seeber
enlisted in 1777 and served as private in Captain Ryner Van Everen’s
company in Colonel Cox’s New York regiment. He was wounded in
the thighs at the battle of Oriskany. The place of his enlistment and
length of his service are not given.
On account
of the disability resulting from the wounds mentioned above, he was pensioned
from November 25, 1786, at which time he was forty years of age and was living
in Johnstown, Montgomery County, New York.
In 1828
he was living in German Flats, Herkimer County, New York.
He died
prior to December 29, 1853.
His son,
Suffrenes, was living in Warren, Herkimer County, New York, in 1858. The
papers in this claim contain no further data relative to the soldier’s
family.
Very truly
yours, A.D. Hiller, Assistant to administrator.
