    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.
