Notes
a. Note:   [from: Cole, David Rev., History of Rockland County, New York with Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men, (New York: J.B. Beers & Co., 1884)
 Jonathan Seaman moved to Kakiat-on-Hudson in about 1712. "Originally, that part of the County of Rockland now embraced in the town of Ramapo, was known by the Indian name of Kakiat" [Cole p.254] "In Kakiat the first settlers...were the original company of men who, in 1711, purchased the north moiety of this patient. They were almost entirely from Queens county, L.I.
 The first one to arrive was Abram Denton, a descendant of Daniel Denton who, about 1660, wrote the first description of the Province of New York. It is probable that he was the agent through whom the purchase was made. He was followed, soon after, by Joseph [?] and Jonathan Seaman, sons [actually grandson] of Captain John Seaman, a prominent citizen of Queens county. Jacomiah, son of Jonathan Seaman 'was the first white child born in New Hempstead." [Cole, p. 264-265]
 The owners of the North Moiety in 1724 were Cornelius Cuyper, Charles Mott, John Allison, Thomas Kirbie, Jacob Remsen, Thomas Barker, Elbert Monfort, William Hutchings, Timothy Halstead, William Campbell, George Downing, Nicholas Conklin, Jonathan Rose, Richard Pearce, William Osborne, Abraham Denton, Jonathan Seaman, John Wood, John Palmer, and Richard Coombs. For each of these, who owned a full share, a homestead of 400 acres was laid out." "The homestead of Jonathan Seaman was 66 chains square." "To the north of Seaman's lot a series of lots, each of the same length and extending to the north bounds of the patent, was laid out. This tier was called 'Seaman's Range' or 'The Range of Seaman's Home Lot,' and is frequently mentioned in old deeds."[Cole, p. 257-258]
