"Mr. Sebree was born in Fayette, Howard Co., Mo., January 26, 1836, where he lived and worked on a farm until he was thirty-six years of age. He was married in 1859, to Miss Mary Virginia Saunders, and has six children, four girls and two boys. When he came to Colorado, he settled in Nine Mile Bottom, on the Purgatoire Creek, and filed an application for a homestead as soon as the land was open for pre-emption. He fully complied with the law in such cases, making the required improvements, and residing on the land five years. Soon after the expiration of this term, he sold out and moved with his family to the precinct of Higbee, in Bent County, where he now resides engaged in stock-raising. His stock originally consisted of Texas cattle, which he is improving by crossing with a short-horn breed. His ranches are thirty miles south of Higbee, in Smith's Canon, where there is a broken country, well adapted for the protection of stock during inclement seasons. Mr. Sebree was elected County Commissioner in 1878 for three years, and has filled the office acceptably to the tax-payers of Bent County."

The History of Bent County - Bent Co. Biographies - by Charles W. Bowman.
"Mr. Sebree was born in Fayette, Howard Co., Mo., January 26, 1836, where he lived and worked on a farm until he was thirty-six years of age. He was married in 1859, to Miss Mary Virginia Saunders, and has six children, four girls and two boys. When he came to Colorado, he settled in Nine Mile Bottom, on the Purgatoire Creek, and filed an application for a homestead as soon as the land was open for pre-emption. He fully complied with the law in such cases, making the required improvements, and residing on the land five years. Soon after the expiration of this term, he sold out and moved with his family to the precinct of Higbee, in Bent County, where he now resides engaged in stock-raising. His stock originally consisted of Texas cattle, which he is improving by crossing with a short-horn breed. His ranches are thirty miles south of Higbee, in Smith's Canon, where there is a broken country, well adapted for the protection of stock during inclement seasons. Mr. Sebree was elected County Commissioner in 1878 for three years, and has filled the office acceptably to the tax-payers of Bent County."
