Notes:
One of Beach P. Seely's daughters married a Archibald K. Dougherty, but we don't know which Seely daughter it was. According to this newspaper notice in The Head Quarters of Fredericton, York county on July 6, 1859:
m. St. John, 27th ult., by Rev. James Baird, Archibald K. DOUGHERTY / Miss d/o late Beach P. SEELY of Carleton.
The 1881 census lists a Margaret A. Dougherty who is a 40 year old widow living in the James McRae household in Woodstock, Carleton, New Brunswick, Canada. So it is possible Archibald married Margaret Seely.Beach married Mary Elizabeth Lamoureaux 25 Dec 1831, Carleton, Saint John, NB, Canada. [Group Sheet]

Not convinced this Linus Seely was the husband of Sarah Edmundson. no proof he ever left New Brunswick, how did he marry Sarah in Ohio and she ended up in Texas.

Sarah took the profits from her very popular book and moved back to Canada, where she met, fell in love with and married Linus Seelye. They moved back to the United States and raised three sons. "
