Sometime between the 1920 and 1930 census, husband Linnell has left the family. Annie converted to Christian Scientist church.

I (James Irving) remember Grandma Foster. She would take the bus out to Natick (usually on a Saturday) and stop at the butcher shop in Natick to get fresh oysters. We would watch for her walking up West Central Street and when we saw her coming Mom would start heating the milk to make oyster stew for lunch. She probably did the same after we moved to Park Ave, but I remember her walking up West Central St. not Park Ave. We moved to Park Ave when I was in the 2nd grade so I am impressed I still have that memory. I think only Mom, Me, and Grandma liked oyster stew. Although I do remember that the Union Oyster House in Boston was one of Aunt Lorraine’s favorites. On some visits to Boston with her we would make a point to go there for lunch.

Grandma had a crippled hand (don’t remember which) that Mom said was due to someone tried to steal her purse but she wouldn’t let go and fought off the purse snatcher. Mom (Laura Foster) believed that because she had converted to Christian Scientist she refused to go to a doctor to have the hand looked at. The result was that she had very little use of that hand and it was deformed.

33 1630 Settled in Watertown, Mass. 18 MAY 1631 Made freeman. MAY 1635 Settled Wethersfield. 1663 Commissioner of Huntington, N.Y.

Robert Seely, son of William Seely county Huntingdon apprenticed to Cordovan dated 10 March 1623. (Cordovan - one who works with cordovan leather, shoemaker.)

Robert & Mary's first child, Nathaniel, was baptized 16 September 1627 at St Stephen's. Their second child, Obediah is presumed to be born on the voyage to America in 1630 as their is no record on either side of the Atlantic, and this is about the time he would have been born.

Robert and his family went with a group led by Richard Saltenstall, four miles up the Charles River to found the town of Watertown. Where Robert's land holdings consisted of 160 acres, one of the largest grants alloted, the average being five to six acres. Robert was one of the forty-one to organize the First Church of Watertown, the second oldest church in New England, (the first being Salem). In November of 1630 Robert Seely and Abram Browne were appointed to survey and lay out the roads and lots of Watertown. His home lot was part of what is now Walnut and Grove Streets. In 1635 he sold his lands to Simon Eire and joined a small group to settle Wethersfield, Connecticutt.

In May 1637 he was appointed a Leiutenant, second in command under Captain John Mason in the expedition against the Pequot Indians on the Mystic and Pequot (Thames) Rivers.

In June 1637 the General Court gave Lt Seely command of thirty men to preserve the peace. For his service he was paid 30 Shillings a week and 150 bushels of corn by the inhabitants of Wethersfield, CT.

Robert sold his house and lot in Wethersfield to Mathew Mitchell and in the fall of 1638 joined the Quinpiac or New Haven Colony. This colony included the pastor and many of the parishioners from the Coleman Street St Stephen's Church of London, the church he had belonged to while living in London and where he and his wife were married and their first child was Christened. The Puritans in England were being forced to return to the Episcopalian ways of the Church of England or face persecution.

In June 1639 the church members of the New Haven Colony met to sign a Fundamental Agreement, which declared that only church members could choose public magistrates and officers and that all new planters to the Colony must sign the Agreement. Robert Seely's name is listed twenty-sixth amoung the original signees and his name appears fourteenth in the original list of Freemen of New Haven Colony.

On Oct 25, 1639 Robert appears as a member of the General Court of New Haven. He was appointed Marshall of the Colony at this session and reappionted to this office the following years: 1640, 1641 and 1642.

In 1653 Robert was appointed Captain to the New Haven forces under Major Sedgewick and Captain Leverett, English officers, against the New Netherlands, and in 1654 was put in p;ace at "Dutch Point" in Hartford.

After his wife's death Robert returned to England and reamined for some time. In 1662 at a town meeting in Huntinton, Long Island it was ordered a boat be sent to Connecticutt to bring Captain Robert Seely to the town at the first opportunity. "Captain Seely being returned from England, a motion made on his behalf for some encouragement for his settling amoung us." In October 1662 the General Court awarded him 15 Pounds and the use of a house in Saybrook where he took charge of the Fort and ammunition. In 1663 Seely was appointed Commisioner and Chief Military Officer for the town of Huntington to exercise and train soldiers.

In 1665 Robert Seely and John Ogden, with others, settled the town of Elizabeth New Jersey.
