Sebastian Zouberbuhler

Sebastian Zouberbuhler (ca 1710 – January 31 1773) was a merchant and political figure in Nova Scotia. Believed to have been born in Switzerland, he represented Lunenburg township in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1759 to 1763.

He worked as an agent for Samuel Waldo, who speculated in land, in South Carolina and Massachusetts during the 1730s. He served in the 2nd Massachusetts Regiment in the attack on Louisbourg. Zouberbuhler traded at Louisbourg during the British occupation, moving to Halifax around 1750. In 1753, with John Creighton, he was sent by Governor Peregrine Thomas Hopson to Lunenburg. In 1763, he was named to the province's Council. Zouberbuhler was involved in the local timber trade and also speculated in land. He also served as the local magistrate. He died, probably of gout, in Lunenburg in 1773.
