Family tradition says David Seely and son Daniel. a lad of 14 were fishing with some soldiers when taken prisoners in 1777, by the British. 30 May 2000 Dear Dan, Thanks for your letter. In his diary, Sylvanus tells of a trip back to Orange County, Jan 4, 1810, where he stayed with his cousin David and saw his uncle Charles in his 89th year and his wife in her 84th. He later goes on to visit Elijah, David's brother. On Jan 2, 1811, Charlotte Seaman visits and tells him that her old father and mother are dead. Unfortunately, the mother is never named. One of my goals is to create a genealogy of all of Samuel Seely's and Charlotte Popino's descendants for about 5 generations. So I'll keep looking! There are so many unknown people back in the 18th century. Another Seely, not in the 1-5 or 6th generation books is Anthony Seeley, listed in the French and Indian Wars Muster Rolls as a cordwainer, born in Orange County ca 1743. He would presumably be a grandson of Samuel Seely or his brothers Muster Rolls as a cordwainer, born in Orange County ca Warm regards, Ollie Oliver Popenoe 5 Kassel Court Mamaroneck, NY 10543 Phone: 914-381-3226 Fax: 914-381-0329 Email: oliver@popenoe.com 2.
