Looking for Seaman Family Members
I could really use some help. G-G-Great Granddaughter of Henry and Hester Seaman. My problem is I have found Hester's family clear back to 1540 in France and Sweden, but have hit a brick wall with Henry. Cannot find Henry's parents or anyone else back any farther than Henry. Henry and Hester were the parents of 13 children: Jacob, Rachel, James, Smith (who I am related through), Ann Eliza, Catherine, Maranda, Levi, Henry, Hester, Elbert, Benjamin, and Dudley.
If anyone could help with Henry's parents that might get me on track again.
I would appreciate any help you could give me.

Can you give us the date of birth for Henry, and if they came to U.S. what state did they go to? I would like to get you the right one but we need more information. I know he is dead but there may be more than one Henry Seaman. Is his name William Henry Seaman? I do know that there is a Federal Judge by that name and was wondering if he was in your family. I believe he was born around 1840's. But I also believe he was from Wisconsin. If you any other information it will greatly help. Nsueturney60

I too am Henry and Hester's G-G-Great Grandaughter and have hit the same wall. I would love for you to share Hester's geneology with me. Her mother Catharine Bossler Smith in some trees shows married to Eberhard Seaman with 2 children Henry and Jonathan that makes Henry and Hester look like half brother and sister. I have just been in polking around because I got so frustrated when I hit this wall.
