He fought in the war of 1812 and served in the Indian campaign under General Harrison. They were married at Painesville, Ohio May 6, 1818. Eight children were born: Oliver Harmon, William Lysander, Sarah Jerusha, Sebastian Cabot, Mary P, Eunice Marie, Charlotte Ann and Caroline Elizabeth.
Sebastian Sr. died at Galesburg, Illinois on March 8, 1847. In the spring of 1852 Eunice Married William Abel (Deacon) Goodell.

Along the trail Mr. Goodell died of cholera and was buried along the way.
Mrs. Goodell settled in McMinnville, Oregon and lived there for approximately 30 years. She was a devout member of the Presbyterian Church and a most zealous and devoted Christian worker for about 60 years. “To do good and assist the needy” was the absorbing purpose of her heart and life.
