Major Frederic Seip (1840-1911), grandson of Dr. Frederic Seip, was the son of Dr. John Seip and Eliza Martin Seip of Oak Isle Plantation in Alexandria, Louisiana. He graduated from Princeton University in 1860 and returned to Alexandria where he managed the family plantation until the beginning of the Civil War. He served as a Confederate soldier during the war, rising to the rank of major. After the surrender, he returned to Oak Isle Plantation, which had been burned, and rebuilt his home. In 1865, Frederic married Adelia Flint (d. 1878), who died in 1878. In 1882, he married Emeline Flint, daughter of James Timothy Flint, a lawyer, and granddaughter of Timothy Flint, writer and historian of Salem, Mass. They had five children: Adelia, who died in 1884, and four sons, John, James, Micah, and Fred.
