Dear Dan,
Thanks for your letter. In his diary, Sylvanus tells of a trip back to
Orange County, Jan 4, 1810, where he stayed with his cousin David and saw
his uncle Charles in his 89th year and his wife in her 84th. He later goes
on to visit Elijah, David's brother. On Jan 2, 1811, Charlotte Seaman
visits and tells him that her old father and mother are dead.
Unfortunately, the mother is never named. One of my goals is to create a genealogy of all of Samuel Seely's and
Charlotte Popino's descendants for about 5 generations. So I'll keep
looking! There are so many unknown people back in the 18th century.
Another Seely, not in the 1-5 or 6th generation books is Anthony Seeley,
listed in the French and Indian Wars Muster Rolls as a cordwainer, born in
Orange County ca 1743. He would presumably be a grandson of Samuel Seely or
his brothers Muster Rolls as a cordwainer, born in Orange County ca
