Samuel
Giebner, farmer, post-office Perrine, is a son of Augustus and Nancy (Carmichael) Giebner. Charles
Giebner, the grandfather of our subject, was a Hessian, and was brought to America by George Washington and family, and located in Westmoreland County, Penn. In 1797 he came to this
county and located on a tract of land in what is now Sandy Lake Township, where the father of our subject was born and reared. He went to school but ten weeks, and in 1858 purchased a farm in Worth Township, which is now occupied by
Jacob Bixler, where he lived until his death in 1882. He was a member of the Republican party and of the Fairview Methodist Episcopal Church. His widow is still living in Sandy Lake Township. Their family consisted of eight children:
Mrs. Sarah A. Rockwell, died April 5, 1870;
Charlotte, died August 15, 1859; John
J., died March 7, 1886. The living ones are: Samuel, our subject; Wesley, in Erie County; Stewart, in New York City;
Margaret Jane, Mrs. D. W. Henderson, of Venango County, and
Mary, Mrs. Alexander Wright, of this county. Our subject was born in Sandy Lake Township June 22, 1838. He attended the township schools, and has always been engaged in farming. In 1862 he married
Miss Margaret, daughter of Robert
Henderson, of Worth Township, and by this union they have ten children:
Mary, Mrs. F. A. Cozad of Cool Spring Township;
Nancy, Sarah and Lucy, at home;
Elmer, of this township, married to Miss Lavina, Daughter of
William Anderson, of Millbrook; Robert, Samuel, Wesley and
