- ↑ Daniels: Robert's son Nathaniel Seeley, baptized in London on 1 May 1629, married Mary Turney in October 1649. There seems to be no record of the marriage, and it isn't certain where it took place. (The Turneys were then living in Fairfield, CT, and the Seeleys were in New Haven.) However, according to New Haven records, Mary testified on 7 June 1650 that they had been married for eight months.; p. 24
