    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]

    Notes:

    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. However, in an article (http://www.helium.com/items/492733-biography-sarah-emma-edmundson?page=2) the following is found: "... 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. "

    Notes:

    SEELY, Linus, building contractor and temperance advocate, was born at Richibucto, N.B., Canada, May 9, 1848, son of Charles H. Seely. At the age of twenty he went to Portland, Me., and engaged in lighthouse and fortification construction work for the government in Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Subsequently he removed to Buffalo, N.Y., and was employed in similar work, chiefly on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. He resided in Buffalo for twelve years, and then became inspector of buildings for the police department of New York city under Commissioner Theodore Bingham. Returning to Portland he was associated for six years with Frank A. Rumery in general construction work, and then entered the building business on his own account, his work including contracts for important government structures.

    Mr. Seely was identified from his youth with the temperance movement, and became a prohibition advocate of national prominence. When a young man he was candidate for mayor of Buffalo and in 1916 for governor of Maine on the Prohibition ticket. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and the Knights of Pythias. He was a member of the Congregational church for more than forty years, serving as a deacon and a teacher of a large class of young men in the Woodfords Congregational Church, Portland. Mr. Seely was a man of high standards and firm convictions, and possessed a wide range of information upon economic and industrial subjects. He was married in 1878 to Ellen Barker, of Portland, Me., and they had one daughter, deceased. Mr. Seeley died in Portland, Me., Oct. 9, 1923.
