Phil,
I came across the following from the GenWeb page for Herkimer County-
12/29/97 From Steven Seeber ([log in to unmask]), whose ancestors followed
their California dream:
Daniel Seeber, born Canajoharie
area 3-29-1817;
died 11-23-1896 Sonora, Ca.
Source: Tuolumne County Ca.
Records.
Wife: Myra (Benton) Seeber,
born: 1-25-1821 at
Ames, N.Y; died 11-7-1904 at
Oakdale, Ca.

Son: Benton Seeber, born 1842
N.Y.; died
5-15-1912 at Quartz, Ca.

Byron Seeber, photo approx. 1915 -
1925. Son of
Daniel and Myra Seeber,
originally from the
Canajoharie area. The family
migrated to Sonora, CA
in 1855 from Watertown, NY.

Another lists a Henry Seeber as a private who fought at Oriskany.
Sometimes these genealogy pages can help pinpoint some one. The home page

Didin't find anything else on Henry but sounds like the AR Henry Seeber is
your man. Maybe Steven Seeber (e-mail address above) can shed further
light. Sounds like some veterans' or other DAR-type group may be the prime
suspects for the marker. Good luck.
