Anna Maria Bauman Seybert was the daughter of John Dietrich Bauman and Eva Elizabeth Beil. She was born July 5, 1741 in Marlborough Township, Montgomery (was Philadelphia) County, Pennsylvania.
About 1755, she moved with her family to Northampton County, Pennsylvania which is now Lower Towamensing Township, Carbon County, Pennsylvania.
She married Johann Sebastian Seybert (Sibert) about 1764 when she was about 23 years old in Northampton County. He was born 1740 in Germany. His parents were John William Seibert and Anna Eva Klein.
He arrived at the Port of Philadelphia, on the ship Chance on September 13, 1764. He served in the Revolutionary War, as a private, corporal and sergeant, in Captain Peter Roth's Company, Northampton County Militia during 1780-1781-1782.
The family lived in Salem Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. They
settled about 1780 near the mouth of Seybert or Varner's creek, about a mile west of Beach Haven, and built a gristmill, sawmill, clothiery and distillery. The gristmill was of logs, had one run of stones, and could grind only from four to six bushels of grain a day. The sawmill was of the old "flutterwheel" style, and would cut about 1,000 feet of lumber in twenty-four hours. The clothiery was of the most primitive kind, and the distillery was the best that could be built at that day.
Sebastian and Maria's children included:
Johann Heinrich (Henry) Seybert (1765, married Mary Margaret Gobel),
Michael Seybert (1767, married Eva Zimmerman),
Margaret (Margaretha) Seybert Kisner (1772, married Jacob Kisner), Sebastian Seybert, Jr. (1773, married Elizabeth Thomas), John (Hans) Dieter (Honeter, Honteter) Seybert (1776),
Bernard (Barney) Seybert (1779, married Charlotte Engle),
Nicholas Seybert (1780, married Catherine Boehm),
and
Eva Elizabeth (Polly) Seybert (1782).
Sebastian died January 10, 1809 in Salem Township and Anna Maria died May 26, 1826 when she was 84 years old in Salem Township. They are buried together at the Seybert Farm Cemetery in Luzern County.
