These Volumes were owned by Colonel Stephen Young Seyburn (1856-1923) who was the father-in-law of Winifrid Dodge Seyburn- Daughter of John Dodge and Heiress to the Dodge Fortune. Stephen Y. Seyburn was a veteran of the Indian Wars and Spanish American war. His unit -The Tenth U.S. Infantry Company F was involved in the Geronimo Wars and multiple other military engagements during the post Custer Indian wars. He was a commander, in the Spanish American war of 1898, of the 202nd regiment New York Volunteer Infantry. He authored a History of the Tenth U.S. Army Infantry regiment.
Col. Stephen Young Seyburn Was The Son of Isaac Seyburn (1824-1895), a Master Mariner who captained a ship (The Stephen J. Young) whom he named his son after. The elder Seyburn was seriously wounded in action aboard the steam sloop of war Mohican during the Battle of Port Royal on November 7, 1861 when a 32-pound solid minie ball from defending shore batteries shattered the bones of his lower left leg just above the ankle. He never regained use of the leg.
Despite his injuries, Seyburn continued with his naval service. During his convalescence, he was assigned to the Monitor Board in New York and was a member of the team supervising the construction of the Passaic-class monitor Weehawken in Jersey City, New Jersey. At about the time the Weehawken was launched on November 5, 1862, Seyburn was ordered to the ironclad steamer Galena where he served until the end of her deployment on May 21, 1863 when the ship arrived in Philadelphia for repairs. Galena, commissioned on April 21, 1862, was one of the first three ironclads, each of a different design, built by the U.S. Navy during the Civil War; it was also the second, after the Monitor
, to be put under fire.
On June 10, 1863, Seyburn was given command of the Kittatinny, a three-masted fore-and-aft schooner. While under his command, the Kittatinny was assigned to the West Gulf Blockading Squadron under the overall command of Rear-Admiral David Farragut.
Following his discharge, Seyburn remained in Maine until sometime between July 1869 and March 1870 when he moved his family to Louisiana, principally due to the warmer climate, where he had acquired the Idlewild Plantation in Patterson, St. Mary Parish (some 80 miles (130 km) southwest of New Orleans). Idlewild was a sugar cane plantation and Isaac D. Seyburn earned his livelihood as a planter. His wife, Mary Ann, died on March 19, 1880 and Isaac D. Seyburn died on March 6, 1895.
