The Progenitor of the Seaman Family on Long Island according to Mary Thomas Seaman as printed in her 1928 book: "The Seaman Family in America".

    1. Captain John Seaman, was in Essex, England, between 1603 and 1610, came to America in 1630 with the Winthrop fleet of ten vessels, nine hundred immigrants, and died early in 1695 in Hempstead, Long Island. His will is dated August 5, 1694
and was proved March 20, 1695.

    In 1631 and 1632, John Seaman, Thomas Moore, William Cooper, John Underhill and others were co-operating with Captain John Mason, John Winthrop and Sir. Richard Saltoustall, in the efforts to effect settlement in New Hampshire and these colonizations efforts not being successful, we next find all these, a little later on, in Connecticut and Long Island.

    They were not Pilgrims, but were a Puritanic section still adhering to the Church of England.

    Captain John seaman and others went from their first landing to Watertown, Massachusetts, which they left to escape the imposition of a tax, which the Massachusetts Bay Colony proposed to levy on all the settlers for the purpose of fortifying Newtown (now Cambridge). From Watertown they went to weathersfield, Connecticut, where they stayed but a short time, having some dissensions concerning church matters. In 1636 John Seaman owned two acres of land at Wrights Island in Weathersfield.

    In the Catalogue of Puritanic settles of Connecticut we find it recired: "John Seaman, one of original purchasers of the town of Stamford, where he settled in 1641. I t is supposed he moved from Weathersfield to Stamford. : the settlers at New Haven who had no charter has purchased property in various places, among them being what is now called Stamford, Connecticut, and an was then made with these discontented settlers of Weathersfield and the settlers at New Haven, by which the Colony from Weasrthersfield obtained rights to settle Stamford, then Called Rippowam. The list of these settlers included the names of John Seaman, the purchase price being on hundred bushels of corn, and John Seaman obtained six acres.

    "From Roxbury, Massachusetts, he (John Carman) went to Weathersfiled, Connecticut, and thence in company with John Seaman whose ancestors were also burned at the stake in England".

    John Seaman owned land in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1643.

    In 1646 John Seaman and his brother Caleb are recorded in New Haven, Connnecticut. At this period came the Pequod Indian War, and Captain John Mason was given cheif command (as Major) of the connecticut Troops. To John Seaman he gaive command of one of the Companies and John Strickland (who later became his father-in-law) was Lieutenant of John Seaman's company. Hence John Seaman's title of Captain. The histories of the day recoord "John Seaman, later of Hempstead, Long Island, bore arms with demi-seahorse for crest."

    Another record states that October 6, 1646, Caleb Seaman was finded 10 shillings for not carrying arms, and on November 3, 1646, Caleb Seaman desired his find might br remitted for defect of arms, he going shortly for England. Upon his request it was remitted provided he goe for England."

    Captain John Seaman was one of sixty-two original signers (Connecticut) of the Hempstead compact of land, and in 1647 we find him settled in Hempstead, Long Island, where he became on of the most prominent men for half a century "and had left such a host of descendants as to be remarkable, genealogically."

    the town Records of Hempstead, Long Island, state: "it seems probable that in the previous year Captain John Seaman coming from the eastern end of the island, had settled land adjoining what was subsequently the eastern boundary of the Hempstead Purchase, and had secured title to a tract comprising more the twelve thousand acres, which in 1685, under the Dongan patent, became part of the town ofHempstead."

    From that time on we find his name in many pages of history, recording a life of ceaseless activity in the establishment of his section of America.

    "Once he signed  an agreement or pledged his faith he never disclaimed his share of it." In a Provincial Convention called in New Amsterdam, by writ of Governor Stuyvesant, December 11, 1653, John Seaman and William Washburne were Representatives. December 21, 1656                                                         Obituary

    Orvil Edwin Tipton son of Mr. and mrs. Tipton was born, November 21, 1919 and enter into the Great Beyond, September 7, 1922.

    His Illness was of but five days duration, during which time he suffered intensely the patiently. This beautful child was the idel of the home, of bright sunset disposition to his short stay on earth has been a benediction to his parents and his brothers. The young in years he was a regular attendant at the First Christian Church Bible School as a pupil of the beginners class. He could often relate to his parents the lesson story as his presented the same to the classmates. The baby was brought to the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Harrmon Harris Tipton.
