703	Seth arrived on the ship "Union" along with his father in May 1783. He and his widowed sister, Tamar, were granted Lot No. 11, St. John River, Wickham Parish, Queens County (100 acres) on 6 July 1784. He apparently stayed in Saint John and became a ships captain. In 1812 he was captain of the privateer "Nancy" and also commanded many other ships. Seth and Anna had 11 children	Seely, Seth Capt (I641)
704	Seth was a farmer in Stamford, Connecticut with a house and eleven acres of land. On 2 May 1776 he was brought before the Committee of Public Safety in Stamford and charged with signing a Loyalist Statement which he had circulated and obtained eighteen signatures. He refused to sign a similar statement for the Committee. He was carried through the streets on a rail, then put in the stocks and smeared with eggs and robbed of any money, "for the entertainment of the company". During the American Revolutionary War, Seth joined the British, under the command of General Howe in Long Island, NY on 3 September 1776. He worked for the British as a wagoner and woodcutter. He returned to Stamford in 1777 where he was imprisoned in the Fairfield jail for six months. After his imprisonment his properties were confiscated and he returned to Long Island, this time with his family. Due his allegiance with the British during the American Revolution Seth Seely was sentenced to one year imprisonment and to forfeit all of his properties, real and personal to the government of the state of Connecticut, United States of America. Dated Fourth Tuesday of November AD 1777. He sailed for Saint John on Sunday 27 April 1783 as a Loyalist refugee. Seth Seely arrived at Saint John in the Spring Fleet on the ship "Union" on 12 May 1783. He arrived with a wife, four children ten years of age or older and three children under the age of ten. (His Daughter Tamar later joined the family in Saint John and his son Seth arrived as an adult years later) He was granted lot 389 in Parrtown (Saint John) which he sold to John Ward on 24 Nov 1794. Seth is buried in his homestead graveyard, Lot #15 a 200 acre land grant dated 14 July 1784, Long Reach, Kings County, New Brunswick. He submitted a land petition, dated 22 Aug 1812 which states that he was originally granted 200 acres, and that he and his son Linus were applying for 300 acres each in the Parish of Norton on the north side of the Kennebecasis River.

Traveled via train across the country (East to West through Canada and West to East through the U. S.) visiting several National Parks in 1937 with a girl friend. Breast Cancer survivor, double radical mastectomies, first one in 1976. She is descended from families with a long history in New England. Both her parents trace back to some of the original settlers of New England. She often signed her name as Laura F. (for Foster) Irving using her maiden name as her middle name instead of her christening middle name of Alma.	Foster, Laura Alma (I2)
710	She had three children who all died young, namely Rabecca (1617), Mary (1619), and John (1623).	Stokes, Elizabeth (I1417)
711	She might have a brother named Edward. The book: History of the Early Settlement of Bridgewater in Plymouth County (pg 332) states: her name was Lettice Forster and was of Scituate.	Foster, Lettis (I2041)
712	She sailed to America on ship Truelove 1635 with husband, Ralph Tompkins DEATH: Unsure of date. Date assumed because husband, Ralph, remarried about 1636. BIRTH: Birth location is presumed to be where she married Ralph Tompkins. Also RALPH TOMPKINS married first KATHERINE FOSTER, daughter of PETER FOSTER and ELLEN, on 6 Nov 1608 in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, England. This suggests a marriage location and probably birth place, or region, as well as her parents' names.	Foster, Katherine (I842)
713	She was a member of the Plymouth Colony arriving two years after her parents in 1623 on the ship Anne. Second wife of Issac Allerton	Brewster, Fear (I797)
714	She was born after her fathers death	Foster, Elizabeth (I1391)

She was married twice, first marriage ended in divorce, second marriage to a Mr. Roberts. They spent winters in Naples, Florida and summers in Alton Bay, NH.	Forbes, Christina (I558)

721	Some early family photos are at the house on Cypress St. Newton Centre	Source (S8)
722	Some records indicate she changed using her middle name of Gertrude in place of "Bell" so she appears as Ethel Bell Hannam	Hannam, Ethel Gertrude (I509)
723	Some records list her first name as Mary, commonly spelled Marie in those days. We believe Martha is the Marie (age 14 years) named on the passenger list for the ship Truelove of 1635 along with her father (Ralph Tompkins), mother (Katherine Foster) and other siblings. Some researchers speculate that Martha is a daughter of Ralph Tompkin's second wife Hanna Aborne who he married in 1636, placing her birth in Salem after 1636; but Martha married John Foster in 1646/7 making her birth prior to 1630 much more probable. Not sure about her place of birth in England. In a deposition taken in 1670 Martha was about 43 years old; making her birth about 1627. After she became the widow of John Foster (1688), she married secondly Richard Adams. Richard conveyed land to Martha Foster on Nov. 16, 1688 stating " ... my intended wife". DEATH: Believe she died in Salem, Essex, MA, USA	Tompkins, Martha (I470)
724	Sometime after the death of her husband, William Irving, Anna and the youngest daughter Mabel, joined her son, Linus Dudley Irving, who had already moved to the Boston, MA area. Refer to Seely book pg. 369 which lists Anna's birth c1834. Alternate birth year is 1840, which is likely if her brother Seth was born in 1834. 1881 Canadian census indicates Adelaide (Anna) was a Calvinist Baptist. Find-A-Grave website entry: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=59665648	Seely, Anna Adelaide (I52)

731	Sources differ on Mary's surname. Greene's History of Boothbay book (page 607) states surname was Hodgkins and Preble's First three Generations book says (page 17) her name was Butler. The Headstone at Preble Point (Arrowsic, Sagadahoc county) claims her age was 86, but if she was born Jan 30, 1735 she would have been 87 years, 11 months, and 25 days old when she died.	Butler, Mary (I152)

The previous child Benjamin was born in 1689 to Sarah.	Steward, Sarah (I447)
747	Susan is unnamed and listed as the first and only child of Timothy by F.C. Pierce in his Foster Genealogy 1899 book. This individual is the last person in our line listed in the Pierce book. Her individual ID in the Pierce book is #7188.	Foster, Susan Emma (I267)
