     Seariah Deering Lashbrook was born on 29 January 1842 in Daviess County, Kentucky. He was the son of Norris L Lashbrook and Sara Catherine Foreman. Seariah Deering Lashbrook was also known as Sariah D. Lashbrook (according to a memo written by Nellie J. Lashbrook.) It is assumed that Leah, on the 1850 census, and Sarah D, on the 1860 census were Searaih Deering Lashbrook since he was listed on neither and the birth year of all three match.

Seariah Deering Lashbrook began military service on 5 October 1861 at Russellville, Logan County, Kentucky, where he enlisted as a Private in Company A, 1st Cavalry Regiment Kentucky (Captain Noel's company, Wheeler's confederate cavalry.) The First Regiment of the Kentucky Cavalry was formed in March 1863 by the consolidation of the 1st (Helm's) Regiment Kentucky Cavalry and the 3rd Regiment Kentucky Cavalry. The men of this company appear to have served in the 1st (Helm's) Regiment of the Kentucky Cavalry prior to the consolidation. According his service record he was paid 300.00 on 22 March 1864 to compensate him for the loss of his horse which was "killed in action" at Beech Gore, Tennessee on 12 January 1863. He was wonded and captured at the battle of the Sacotchee Valley, Tennessee, on the Sacotchee River in a charge at Snake Creek Gap on the 9th of May 1864. He was then taken to Camp Morton, Indianapolis Indiana and arrived there on 22 May 1864. The ledger of prisoner accounts for Camp Morton show that he was paid 15.00 on the First of December, 1864 and an additional 5.00 on the Fifth, Tenth, and Fifteenth of December 1864.

Family lore, according to Nellie J. Lashbrook, was that Sariah Lashbook's horse was shot from under him and he was captured and taken to Cape Chase, a prison near Chicago Illinois. Dissentary broke out in prison and he took ill and was so sick that his mother Catherine Foreman Lashbrook went to see him. She had to take a boat from Owensboro Kentucky to Evansville Indiana and then on to Camp Chase. When she reached Camp Chase, Sariah begged her to "ask him out of prison" to die. Sariah's mother Catherine Foreman then traveled to Washington, partially by horseback to see President Lincoln to seek the release of Sariah so he could die at home. When she arrived the butler wouldn't let her in, but the President happened by and motioned for her to come in. He shook hands with her and asked about her mission. An aged father was also at the gate with a letter asking his son to be released. Lincoln graned both requests. However, when she got back Sariah was dead. In this case family lore was incorrect as his service record, as well as Camp Morton camp records, list him as a prisoner of war at Camp Morton and record his death at the camp. His cause of death was chronic diarrhea.

Seariah Deering Lashbrook died on 23 February 1865 at Camp Morton, Indianapolis, Indiana, at age 23 in prison, while a Confiderate prisoner of war. Camp Morton records indicate he was burried in grave number 1452, in Green Lawn Cemetery, Indianapolis, Indiana (a cemetery frequently used for prisoners who died at Camp Morton.) According to family lore, Sariah was given "quite a large funeral procession" and his horse, with the saddle empty, was also in the procession. He was buried in Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery, Kentucky.

These 67 acres he left to his youngest son George Lashbrook except that Effy was to live on the land and draw her support from it during her life. The remainder of the land was then to return to George upon Effy's death. He left his daughter Nancy Lashbrook, who was living with him at the time of his will, one feather bed and furniture, cow and calf, one grey mare, stove kettles (at her mother's death), six pewter plates, one dish, two Basons and one spinning wheel.

"For the fancy periscopic eggs, molds dusted with corn starch are filled with sugar to which the righ tamount of water has been added. They are then allowed to stand until sufficiently hard to allow handling, usually overnight.
