Individual Details

Some of the family has his name as Charles Jacob, but I've no record with that name.

I believe he is the Jacob Seborn who served in Co B, of the 119th Illinois Regt. The 119th was organized at Quincy, IL, Sep of 1862 - they were moved to Columbus Kentucky and Jackson, TN. Eventually assigned to Memphis and to Vicksburg, then various places in Louisiana and Mississippi and were moved to Jefferson Barracks, MO to fight Price. They were finally mustered out 26 Aug 1865, and arrived in Illinois 4 Sep 1865.

Jacob is buried Gayler Cemetery on top of Mt. Gayler in Crawford Co. His marker says "Company B, 119 Illinois Infantry". His wife Siretha Gabbard is believed buried next to him, though her grave is not marked.

Jacob born 12 Mar 1830, Laurel Co KY, died near Winslow AR 12 Apr 1909. Jacob and Siretha had 10 children. Jacob was the son of Robert Seabourn [b. abt 1801 Madison Co KY] and Mary Ann McClure. Robert's parents were Jacob Seabourn & Ann Harris; Jacob born abt 1760 probably in Virginia. Served more than two years in the Revolution under Gen. Nathaniel Green at the Battle of Eutaw Springs in SC and under General "Mad Anthony" Wayne in Georgia.

A Sad Accident
Mr. Jacob Sebourn accidentally shot and killed himself on Monday, April 12, at 11:30 a.m.
He was preparing to go hunting and before loading his rifle, set it on the floor, placed his foot on the hammer and blew into the barrel, as was his custom, not knowing that the gun was already loaded. His foot slipped from the hammer and the ball entered his mouth. His face was in no way disfigured, not even a tooth broken. Mr. Sebourn's age was seventy nine years and one month. He had been a resident of this place for many years. He leaves his wife, seven sons, and one daughter, fifty-five grandchildren and thirty-nine great grandchildren, most of whom live in this vicinity.
A number of relatives and friends, among them his daughter, Mrs. Geo. Revercomb, sons Wm. and Jacob Sebourn, grandchildren, Chas. Sebourn, Lee Innis, Mr. & Mrs. Jim Huff, Mrs. Dick Pounds, and Jim Tremble, the latter being of Richmond, Kentucky, cam up to attend the funeral which was held at the Gaylor Cemetery Wednesday afternoon.
