Notes
a. Note:   Richard Seaman's will was dated April 5, 1749, proved April 5, 1750. Richard Seaman was "a sound minister of the Gospel for many years, having lead a solid and exemplary life from his young days." Friends meetings were appointed to be held at his house at a time when it took courage to proclaim a religious belief which was not favored by the political powers. He was a minister in the Society of Friends and travelled extensively in the service with "a Minute of Unity" from Westbury Meeting. In 1725, he visited Friends in New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. In 1740, Henry Pearsall accompanied him to visit Friends towards Canada, and in 1745 he was sent on a similar service in the west. In 1692/3 his father, before making his will, conveyed 316 acres of land at the harbor head to him, and to his brother Nathaniel.
