  SAMUEL SEANEY, farmer, P. O. Flat Rock. This gentleman was born October 22,
1824 in this county, son of Samuel Seaney, Sr., born in North Carolina; he was a
a farmer by occupation, and was married to Catharine Wishon, who was the mother
of thirteen children; they removed to Wayne County, Ind., and in 1818 they came
to this county, to where he was attracted by the rich hunting ground which the
red man of the woods valued so highly. While the game was plenty, he did not
find it necessary nor profitable to cultivate the bounteous virgin soil, to
which his children pay so much attention now and with such marked success. Our
subject inherited many of his father's qualities among others his love for
hunting, and which he indulged in his youth to his heart's content, and yet
follows; he was educated in this county, where he was married February 14, 1848,
to Miss Cinderilla Kamplain, born July 16, 1830, daughter of William and
Clem-ana (Cobb) Kamplain, who were old settlers in this county. Mrs. Seaney is
the mother of twelve children—Alvin (he married Anna B. McKibbin), Leander,
Patrick EL, John Franklin, Flora R., Nancy E., Emma A, deceased, Samuel Herman,
Charles Carl, Thomas Harlin, David Bruce, Andrew J. Mr. Seaney has a nice farm
of 240 acres of fine land, is a Democrat. He and his wife are members of the
Christian Church. Has good buildings on his land; keeps Durham stock of cattle,
is a wide-awake, intelligent man, who takes a great deal of interest in all
public affairs.
