(III) Gertrude, married Frederick Ster- ling Seeley ( see Seeley X).
(The Seeber Line).
(1) Joliannes Wilhelm Seeber, direct an- cestor of Augusta (Lipe) Bamber, was one of the original settlers and a pioneer mer- chant in the Mohawk Valley, having located at Sand Hill, near Fort Plain. The exact date of his coming to this country has not been established, but it is known that he was in trade in that section prior to the French and Indian war. He had seven sons who were all adult and married before the war, with the exception of one or two of the young- est born. All of these Seebers. father and sons, were active in the defense of the cause of their country, and the father with two of his sons, Andolf and Jacob, were in the battle of Oriskany. The father, who held the rank of major, was wounded in this engagement and died at Fort Plain about four months later from the effects of his wound. Jacob Seeber was also wounded, was taken to Little Falls for treatinent, and there bledl to death after the amputation of his leg. Andolf Seeber was killed on the field of battle. The direct line of descent is as follows : (II ) John Wilhelm Seeber. ( III ) John Wilhelm Seeber, married Keller. (IV) Elizabeth Seeber. married David Lipe. (V) John, son of David and Elizabeth (Seeber ) Lipe, mar- ried Magdalene (Nellis) (see forward). (VI) Augusta, daughter of John and Mag- dalene (Nellis) Lipe, married Robert Bam- ber. as mentioned above ( Bamber II).
Christian Nellis, direct ancestor of Magda- lene (Nellis) Lipe, came to this country with his brother Wilhelm from the Palatinate, Ger- many, owing to religious persecution, during the sovereignty of Queen Anne. With about three thousand others they landed at Man- hattan Island and from thence proceeded to Columbia county, on the Hudson, 170g. The agent who had charge of this expedition de- manded more than the price which had been stipulate ! in the agreement, and the Nellis family and a number of others decided to make a home for themselves independently. They accordingly crossed the Catskills and settled near where the old Palatine Stone Church now stands. This church, built in 1768 and dedicated two years later, was a
place of refuge for the old and the children during the revolution. Among those who contributed toward its erection, the Nellis fami- ily was distinguished for its liberality, and that this is not the only monument which still stands to their memory, the naming of Fort Nellis testifies. The line of descent is as follows : ( II) Christian Nellis. ( III) Christian Nellis, Jr. (IV) Jacob C. Nellis. (V) Magdalene (Nellis) Lipe, mentioned above.
(The Martin Line).
The name of Martin appears in some of the earliest English records, and is found in the "Roll of Battle Abbey," 1066. William Martin, of London, assisted the Puritans in preparing for their voyage to Plymouth Rock, but it does not appear that he himself came to this country. Captain John Martin, of Plymouth, sailed around the world with Sir Francis Drake. Among the passengers on the "Mayflower," 1620, was a Christopher Martin, and others of the same name came to this country in almost every company for several years, settling in various parts of Massachusetts, Connecticut. Virgima and other colonies. John, William and Samuel seem to have been favorite Christian names in these families. This narrative treats of the descendants of William Martin, or Will- iam Seaborn Martin, as he was familiarly known. who was first of Stratford and later of Woodbury. Tradition says that William's father emigrated from Plymouth. England, and that the son was born during the voyage to this country. There was a Samuel Martin, of Wethersfield, who married. in England, a widow, Phebe Brace, or Bracey, a daughter of William Bisby, a merchant of London. and came to this country with his wife and her child by her former husband, about 1650. It is not impossible that this lady gave birth to a child on the voyage and called him William, after his father, and Seaborn from the circumstances of his birth. Wethersfield furnished many inhabitants for Stratford, and this would account for the appearance of William Seaborn Martin there.
(I) William Seaborn Martin removed to Woodbury, Connecticut. August 30, 1685. where he and his wife were admitted to the First Church. He married, June 25. 1685, Abigail Curtiss, born October 17, 1671, died January 4. 1735, daughter of Jonathan Cur- tiss. of Stratford, Connecticut. William Sea- horn Martin died July 4, 1715, and is in- terred in the center of the old burying ground in Woodbury. Children: Joseph; Samuel (see forward ) : Caleb : Phebe.
