War of 1812 Veteran

Son of Abraham and Johanna "Nancy" Anne (Haring) Sebring. John married to Miss Hannah Jackson.

"Captain John Sebring, a soldier of 1812, was from Sussex Co., N.J., and with his father migrated at an early day to Seneca County. His father, Abraham, was a veteran of the Revolution. In 1810 Captain Sebring came to Tyrone, and settled on the farm now owned by his sons, Daniel and G. C. Sebring. He was a prominent man among the early settlers. No one was more thorough in all his undertakings than he. He was captain of the first military company formed here, - the Tyrone Rifles. This company, in the showy uniform, were the pride and pets of many a gala day in the days of the early settlement. Captain Sebring died at the age of seventy-two years. Of his family of five sons and four daughters, there are now living Sebring, John N., G. C., and Daniel in Tyrone, and Mrs. Sophia Tompkins, in Bath, Steuben Co." - History of Tioga, Chemung, Tompkins, and Schuyler Counties, New York, pg 679.

"... He [John Sebring] was a native of New Jersey, and was born December 23, 1781. While yet a boy, his father, Abraham Sebring, removed to the Empire Stat, choosing Lodi, Seneca County, as his future home. He was there reared, and there also he married Hannah Jackson, who was born September 25, 1782. The young people continued to make their home in that county until 1810, the year in which they removed to the town of Tyrone, this county. They were well-to-do farmers and were classed among the most progressive and enterprising people of Schuyler County. Here Mrs. Sebring died February 5, 1849, when sixty-seven years of age, while her husband survived her five years, passing away February 6, 1854, aged seventy-four years. To John and Hannah Sebring there were born nine children, namely: Nancy, Sophia, Cyrus, Teresa, William H., John N., Gardner C., Daniel and Angeline. ..." - Portrait and Biographical Record of Seneca and Schulyer Counties, New York, pgs 390-391.
