(Fulkard) Sebring Mundy was the son of William Mundy and Ann Eliza Sebring who are buried at Bound Brook Cemetery. His birthdate is variously reported. It is listed as 1853 on his death certificate and gravestone, but 1854/55 on earlier records which makes more sense considering the ages of his siblings.
He was named for his grandfather Fulkard Sebring who was in turn named for his grandfather, another Fulkard Sebring. In the 18th century the Sebring family owned much of the land along Washington Valley Road in what became Martinsville. His grandmother was a Martin. The Sebrings were originally Dutch from New Amsterdam.
The Mundys arrived in Middlesex County about 1670.
His wife Eliza is buried next to him as is his son George Horton Mundy (1895-1974), George's wife, and her parents.
His brothers William Mundy (1850-1912) and George Mundy (1855-1917), sister-in-law Mary A Mundy (1861-1946), and nephews William Mundy, Jr. (1891-1970) and Berton Mundy (1900-1974) are buried nearby. Also buried here are his cousins Mary Mundy Lutes (1836-1895) and Elizabeth Mundy Wyckoff (1839-1884).
Sebring Mundy was married to (1) Susie Kent in 1886 and (2) Eliza D. Hoover in 1888. He had four children with Eliza: Ada Mundy Sutton, George Horton Mundy, Wilhelmina "Mina" Mundy Sutton, and Mary Alice Mundy Williamson.
He was first a wheelwright and carriage maker. Later he was an engineer and mechanic.
In the 1860 Census his family lived in Bound Brook near where both sets of grandparents had lived. By 1870, after the death of his father from consumption, the family is in various locations. In 1870, he and his sister Hannah are with Dennis and Maria (Mundy) Vermuele in Piscataway--Maria Vermuele was a distant cousin. In 1880, he is in Bridgewater, probably Somerville, with his brother John. Interesting, Hannah and brother Luther are with the Vermueles in 1880 and Sebring is with them again in 1885. In 1886 at the time of his first marriage, he lived in Bound Brook. In 1895 he and his family are in Bridgewater Twp, likely Somerville. He and his family seem to have been in Pluckemin, north of Somerville, living on the Somerville-Pluckemin road by 1909 (from newspaper notices of a daughter winning a prize in 1909 and a married daughter visiting in 1912 and 1913) until 1915 when they are back in Somerville. From 1917 at least until his death in 1920, he lived at 43 S. Gaston St., Somerville. This house is still standing but much changed.
Sebring Mundy purchased this six-person plot 101 E Half in 1917 the week his wife died. According to cemetery records, buried in this plot are:
1. Sebring Mundy
2. "Anna Mundy" who is Eliza Mundy incorrectly listed on handwritten records and correctly listed on the gravestone
3. Bertha S. Bodine Mundy (1897-1968), wife of son George Horton Williamson
4. George Horton Mundy (1895-1974), son
5. David Bodine (1870-1953), father of Bertha Mundy, a Somerset County judge
6. Annie S. Bodine (1874-1949), mother of Bertha Mundy
The three gravestones are virtually identical.
