  • Notes 
    • 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
