My Genealogy Hound

JACOB SEGONDOLLAR, farmer, P. O. Winchester. Henry J. and Elizabeth Segondollar, parents of our subject, emigrated from Bavaria, Germany, to America in 1841, and by way of New York, came to Pennsylvania, where they remained two years. They then came to Brown County, Ohio, and located near Arnheim, in Franklin Township, where they remained perhaps two years; from thence they moved to the northeastern portion of this township and settled on the farm at present occupied by M. Rysinger, where they remained until their decease, he having died in September, 1862, and she in March, 1863. They were the parents of three children, two of whom are still living — Jacob and Michael S., now residing in Kansas. Jacob Segondollar, our subject, was born in October, 1830, in Bavaria, Germany; when eleven years old, he, with his parents, emigrated to America. On March 25, 1855, he married Elizabeth Fiscus, by whom he had five children, four of whom are still living — Henry C., Theodore, George W. and Sherman. In the spring of 1855, Mr. Segondollar moved to the farm on which he at present is located in the northeastern portion of Jackson Township. In October, 1862, he enlisted in the Seventh Ohio Cavalry and participated in several hotly-contested battles. He has thus enrolled his name with thousands of others who so bravely volunteered to defend the old flag of the Union, when about to be trampled under the iron heel of a most formidable enemy. He received an honorable discharge in July, 1865. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church. Is the owner of 102 ½ acres of land.
