Biography
In the 1820 US Census, James Seymour was enumerated next to the family of Benjamin Nichols:
- 1820 US Census, Oswegatchie Township, St Lawrence County, New York:
- James Seymour - males: 1 (>45), 1 (16-18), 1 (10<16)
- females: 1 (>45), 1 (10<16), 1 (<10)
- James Seymour - males: 1 (>45), 1 (16-18), 1 (10<16)
- "James Seymour married Betsy Wasson Sept 14 1797 at the Stone Arabia Dutch Church in Palatine, Montgomery Co., NY according to the church records (listed as James Semer and Betsy Wason). They had a number of children, including Wasson Seymour and McIntire Seymour. One record I saw said that James Seymour's wife was Elizabeth McIntire. Maybe a second wife or a widow, it's hard to say.
- I found the death record of Peter Dyer's daughter who lived to be 97 years old and died in 930 in Greene Co., Missouri. Her father was listed as Peter Dyer and mother as Sallie Seymour on that record.
- Yes, James Seymour did live in Canada for a few years in the early 1800's but appears not to have been a loyalist. His daughter Sallie and son Wasson were born there. I have not located the exact town."[1]
