3831 Seybolt Rd, Fayette/Seneca Falls, NY, built 1890

This is presumably the property where Jacob Disinger lived with his wife Mary (Gambee) and children. The 1852 Seneca County map has this property labeled Jacob Disinger. Zillow has this house listed as built in 1890 which means this is not Jacob's original house. His son James likely inherited the farm after his father died in 1882 and possibly constructed a new home here when he was about 45 before he moved to Syracuse.

*** SENECA COUNTY NEWS. WATERLOO. N. Y., JUNE 15, 1944 - Paul M. Disinger Jr., Ancestors Came Here in 1761, Trains at Sampson - Within a few miles of the home of his ancestors, one of whom fought in the Revolutionary War, Paul M. Disinger Jr., of 210 Chaffee Avenue, Syracuse, trained at the Sampson Naval Training Center. Seaman Disinger, who is attached to the audio-visual aids department at Sampson, is a great-great-grandson of Nicholas Disinger, who came to America from the Palastine [sic] district of Germany in 1761, sailing in the "Simon Squirrel" [sic] the first ship to leave European shores in five years, because of the war then raging between England and France.

He settled in Burks [sic] County, Pa., and in 1776, with other members of his family, enlisted in the Colonial Army, and served until the end of the Revolution. His grave at Fayette in Seneca County in the Reformed Church cemetery bears a marker placed there by Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution of Seneca Falls.

Nicholas Disinger and his family moved into the forest wilderness of what is now Seneca County in 1804 and purchased a large tract of land from the Indians. When he died, he left a farm to each of his five sons. One of these sons, John Disinger, great-great-grandfather of Paul, Jr., arrived in Seneca County, it is said, with an axe and two shillings in his pockets. Proud of the humble beginning of the family in the new country, he directed that a log cabin be carved on his monument which stands in the nearby Canoga cemetery, where members of five other generations of Disingers also are buried.

Red Jacket, famous Indian, was born not far from where the cemetery now is and his monument stands at the entrance. Seaman Disinger's grandfather was baptized 100 years ago in the nearby German Evangelical Reformed Church by Rev. Diedrich, who had fought in the Duke of Wilmington's Army at Waterloo and was pastor of the church from 1821 to 1882, 61 years. 

Not far from the old Disinger farm is the birthplace of Stephen Harkness, co-founder with John D. Rockefeller of the Standard Oil Company. Descendants of the same Disinger family are Frank, Birney, and Burt Disinger, all of whom, with their families, live near Canoga, and George and Emma Disinger of Seneca Falls.

Seaman Disinger, who is married and the father of three children, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul M. Disinger of 427 Maple Street, Syracuse. Before enlisting in the Navy, he was director of store display at the Addis Company in Syracuse.

note- There's a lot to unpack in this piece. Paul Jr was the great-great-great-grandson of Henrich (Nicolaus' father). It was Henrich, not Nicolaus, who came from the Palatinate Region, Germany, in 1748 on the ship Patience, not in 1761 on the Snow Squirrel, a common misunderstanding according to Frank Disinger. We also now know the local Seneca Falls DAR chapter incorrectly replaced Nicolaus Disinger's original damaged gravestone. There were no Disinger daughters in this branch who belonged to the local DAR chapter. Otherwise, the mistake they made may have been avoided. Nicolaus did not arrive in Seneca County until 1813, he didn't buy his land from the Indians, and he didn't have 5 sons. One son, John, stayed in Seneca County, but David, George, and Thomas moved on to Niagara County.
