Family Bible Information on Jacob Seely and Elizabeth Van Campen “This information is taken from the family Bible and does not give a very full account of some of them. But I think (for) some of them their deaths were not known about by the ones who had the Bible until quite a time after it had happened and full date perhaps was not given. But this is the best I can give you.” Births Deaths Jacob Seely was born Aug 5th AD 1786 Jacob Seeley died Mar 31st AD 1830 Elizabeth Seely was born Dec 30th AD 1789 Elizabeth Seely died Sept 22nd AD 1838 Mary Ann Seely was born Feb 23rd AD 1812 Mary Ann Webb died Mar 3rd AD 1872 Hannah Seely was born July 23rd AD 1813 Hannah Webb died Feb 10th AD 1881 at Caldwell Summer Co Kan Diannah Seely was born Sept 10th AD 1814 Diannah Webb died Jan 7th AD 1885 aged 70 years, 3 mos, 27 days William Seely was born Jan 27th AD 1816 William Seely died May 20th AD 1851 aged 35 yrs, 4 mos, 24 days Stephen Seely was born Aug 20th AD 1817 Stephen Seely died Jan 16th AD 1896 Buried at Sac City, Iowa Thomas Seely was born Dec 31st AD 1818 Thomas Seely died May 18th 1873 Buried at Ackley, Iowa John Seely was born July 6th AD 1820 John Seely died Feb 12th Aged 6 yrs, 6 mos, 6 days (no year given) Clinton Seely was born Nov 8th AD 1821 Clinton Seely died Feb 11th AD 1853 Aged 31 yrs, 3 mos, 3 days Jacob Seely was born May 15th AD 1823 Jacob Seely died Dec 19th AD 1882 at Winfield Kansas James Seely was born Jan 26th AD 1825 James Seely died Dec 9th (no year given) and is buried in Zimmerman’s Cemetery 1 ¾ mis South of Polo Caldwell Co Missouri Joseph Seely was born July 30th AD 1826 Joseph Seely died in New Mexico in battle against the South (no year given) Andrew Seely was born Dec 15th AD 1829 Andrew Seely died Apr 22nd AD 1896.
