Pat has contacted us before asking for information on Permilla Seeley who married John MILLS, Jr, son of John MILLS - Rebecca SMITH of Sussex CO NJ USA. They were in PA at one time, and then removed to Ontario, Canada, around Grimsby, and/or Windham, Norfolk, ONT CAN area. Since then she has had her brother do a DNA test and it confirmed his descent from John MILLS, husband of Permelia or Permilla SEELY, son of John MILLS and Rebecca SMITH of Sussex Co NJ USA. John and Permelia were born ca 1760's either of NJ or CT or PA.Requester: Patricia Fischer Requester Address: (ChekWriter@aol.com)
Response Info:
We get questions about this Permilla/Permilia once every year or two (see Query SR-2001-13 on our website). I would love to be able to identify her. However ... now I would like to know the original source of the information that she was John Mills' wife - some kind of written record. The only Permillia/Pamelia, etc that we know of that early was a daughter of Benjamin Seelye of CT (some confusion as to which Benjamin) but she is b. 1810 and md to Horace Frazier. I am really curious if anyone can find some proof that John Mills’ wife was really a Seeley.Responder: SGS Query Editor: November 2009

Lydia Seeley was born between 1805/1808, Saratoga County, New York and died June, 1885, Alleghan County, Michigan. She married John Hardendorf about 1823 in Steuben County, New York. Their children were Alpheus, Abram, Myron (twins) John, Adelia (twins) Lydia, Harriett and George.

Lydia is not listed in the SGS database. Paul Seeley, a member of the Query Team, noted that Daniel Seeley (SGS# 609) had a 1st wife named Lydia Comstock and a daughter Lydia. Daniel resided in Ballston, Saratoga, NY. This Lydia is too old to be the right one, however she had two brothers, Samuel (SGS# 1940)and Joseph (SGS# 1943), both named in their father’s will dated 1807 and probated 1812. We have no information on these men but it is certainly possible that one of them could have named a daughter Lydia after their mother.
Pam Turner, SGS Librarian, suggested looking at a copy of “Centennial History of Ballston Spa – 1762-1907” by Edward F. Grose, copyright 1907” which is available at the Ballston Spa Library.
Can anyone identify this Lydia or send information on Samuel or Joseph, sons of Daniel of Fairfield CT and Saratoga NY?Responder: SGS Query Editor: November 2009

She recovered but the dates of recovery and the status of George are both unknown. Given the style of death of William A Seeley's death he was never discussed at family gatherings according to Patrick’s father and aunt who are both now deceased.

Query Number: 0908-1 Requested Info: Charlene is researching her family tree and sent a query about her great grandmother Anna Malora Seeley, born 24 Dec. 1872 in Erie County, Pa. Anna’s parents as listed on her death certificate are Seeley, born in Pennsylvania, no first name, and Eunice Delaney Dougan. Anna died 13 Oct., 1942 in Ashtabula, Ohio. Eunice’s mother was Rachel Davis, and her father was Charles Edward Dougan. Eunice married a man named Riley Staley in 1869; Charlene is not sure what happened to him but Eunice and Riley had a child named Robert Staley. Charlene has information that Eunice married a Seeley on the day that Anna was born (24 Dec. 1872). Her family history lists his first name as either Harvey or Warren. Also, Charlene’s father and some older relatives have stated that Anna was at least 1/2 Native American, although she has found no proof of this. Anna’s mother was Irish so the only Native American ancestry would have had to be from her Seeley father.
Charlene found an 1880 census in Erie, Pa, listing Anna and her 1/2 brother Robert living with their grandparents, Rachel & Charles Dougan. Eunice went on to marry John Brown in 1881 in Perry, Lake, Ohio.
Requester: Charlene Davis Hall Requester Address: (chall46@cox.net)
Response Info: There is no information on Anna nor her mother Eunice Dougan/Dugan in the database. The 1880 census that Charlene refers to is for Greenfield, Erie, PA. Robert Staley is 10 and Annie Seely is 7. In 1870 Riley Staley age 19 and Eunice age 20 are in North East, Erie, PA. He is a farm laborer. Also with them are Jane Staley age 45 and Henry age 9. I can’t find Eunice in 1880.

Query Number: 0905-2 Requested Info: Linda’s great-grandmother was Emma Jane Seeley, born in Clayton, NY USA Mar 10, 1858 and married to William Harry Hunter of Napanee, Ont., Canada. Emma was previously married to an Isaac McNickle. Emma’s parents were David Seeley born 27 Dec 1824 in Foxboro, Ontario, Canada and Melissa Dodge of Cape Vincent, Jefferson County, NY USA. Linda has very little information on David's parents except that his father was a Gilbert Seeley born in Ireland who was in Canada by the time his son was born in 1824. Linda saw a note somewhere that Gilbert was in Newfoundland, Canada, but has no proof. David and Melissa lived in Clayton for a time before returning to Canada; some of their children remained in the USA. Linda also said she has heard family lore that the Seeleys are related to the Barnums.
Linda has pictures of David Seeley and his wife Melissa Dodge, and possibly other Seeleys but the pictures weren't all labeled in the album she inherited from 1864.

Query Number: 0905-1 Requested Info: Dan’s great grandmother is buried in the Old Cemetery of Brooklyn, Susquehanna Co., Pennsylvania. Her grave marker reads: Mahala Corson [1839-1924]. It has been suggested to Dan that her maiden name was actually Betsey Mahala Seeley. About 1858 Mahala married Richard Corson [1836 -15 Oct 1896]. He was born in Wilmot Twp., Bradford Co., PA and died in Brooklyn which is where Mahala is buried. Their children were Elsie L. Corson [1859 -1940]; Curtis A. Corson [1860-1922]; Olive Corson [1864-?]; Everett F. Corson [1866-1946]; Benjamin Franklin Corson [1868-1952]; and Minnie Corson [1873-?]. Dan wants to know if we can tie Mahala Corson into the Seeley family. Requester: Dan Corson Stone Requester Address: (kohelethdumc@juno.com)
Response Info: I can't find anything to prove or disprove this suggestion. I have checked the 1850 census and can't find any Mahala that is close to the correct age nor a Seeley in the vicinity. Dian Little found this information on the Corsons in New Albany, Bradford PA: Benjamin Corson settled in New Albany in 1820. He made shingles and drew them on ox-sleds out to Homet's where they were exchanged for corn and pork... He died in 1852 and his wife Betsey Smith, in 1842. Their children were George, Samuel, Oliver, Richard, Betsey, Vinson, Ichabod and Thomas. From Pioneer and Patriot Families of Bradford County Pennsylvania 1800-1825,Vol 2 p 251, Clement F. Heverly. This would indicate that Betsey, not Elizabeth, was a Corson name.
1860 Census (New) Albany, Bradford Co:
Richard Corson age 24
Mahala " age 22
Elsa age 1However Dian didn’t find any connection to the Seeley family. Jim Seeley, former SGS President, is related to the Corsons through his mother but he also couldn’t find anything about a Betsey Mahala Seeley.
Please let me know if you can identify Mahala’s ancestry.

Query Number: 0902-3 Requested Info: Lynn is curious about Euphemia/Affa/Effie Seeley, SGS# 2274. She needs proof that her father was Abner Seeley, SGS# 816. According to our information, Euphemia was born in New Milford, Litchfield, Connecticut on 23 Jan 1793. However, while New Milford does have records of other Seeley children born to Abner Seeley and Eunice Smith, they do not have records of the birth of Euphemia or Affa or Effie Seeley. Requester: submitted by Lynn Davis Requester Address: (Lklem01@comcast.net)
Response Info: Euphemia appears as Effie Ferdon age 56, born CT in the 1850 census of Callicoon, Sullivan, NY with her husband Zachariah Ferdon, a farmer age 66 and born in NY. Listed with them are Anthony H. Ferdon age 22, Seth Ferdon age 18, Harriet Ferdon age 11 and Eunice Seely age 21, all born NY. According to the SGS database this Eunice Seely is a daughter of David Seelye and his first wife Mary Bonk. We have David Seelye, SGS# 2277, listed as a brother of Euphemia/Effie.
Does anyone have proof that Abner Seeley is Euphemia’s father or can you place her in another family?

Query Number: 0902-2 Requested Info: Larry has been researching Morris Seely/Seeley for the past five or six years as part of his interest in the history of Dayton, OH. He has a link on his web site devoted to Morris: http://www.communicationart.net/SeelysDitch.htm. Larry would like to learn the family history of Morris. Requester: Submitted by Larry Sizer Requester Address: (lsizer@woh.rr.com)
Response Info: From Wikipedia: Seely’s Basin
Future Dayton Mayor and son-in-law of William A. Huffman, Morris Seely, had Seely's Basin built in 1832. The canal, first known as Seely's Basin, then Seely's folly, Seely's ditch, the old ditch, and now as " the ditch." was an enterprise intended by Mr. Seely to benefit the property through which it ran. The water was taken from the canal at the east side of Wayne street. immediately at the bridge, then running south along the east side of Wayne to near Lodwick street (Fifth), thence southeasterly across Lodwick to Simpson street, and east along the north side of Simpson, crossing Plum and Pearl streets where a basin was formed extending up to Lodwick street (Fifth). From Simpson street, the race led south between Mad River and Pearl streets. crossing Wayne at Richard street and following its present course to Warren street and to the old basin at the Fair Ground Hill.Mr. Seely's vision was that property along this race, especially where wharves and docks could be constructed, would be greatly enhanced in value.
One of the items on Larry’s website is an 1818 land transaction by Morris Seely of Benton, Ontario (now Yates) Co. NY. I located many (11) transmitted deeds there but none linked Morris to another Seely. The only other Seelys listed were Rachel (1 transaction), Samuel S. (2) and Schofield (1).
Morris Seely married Catherine Huffman in 1827. He died before the 1850 census. If you have any information about Morris Seeley please contact me.

Response Info: Update to Query 0902-2 Re Morris Seely of Dayton OH
Morris Seely born 1790-1800 NY was the mayor of Dayton for a short time in the 1840’s and is known for designing a canal extension in Dayton called Seeley’s Ditch. Morris appears to be the same Morris who made several land transfers in Benton, Ontario County (later Yates Co.) NY circa 1818. He md Catherine A Hoffman in 1827 in Dayton. We were trying to learn more about Morris’s roots.
D. Casper Shahan has contacted SGS, also wanting to know more about Morris’s early life. While this remains a mystery, Casper sent information about Morris and Catherine Seely’s children and grandchildren. They include William Morris Seely, David W. Seely, Eliza Seely Antrim, Catherine J Seely Antrim, Anna M Seely Crawford, Martha J Seely Lukey and Jefferson Seely, all b. 1828-1843. The children and their descendants have been entered in the SGS database. If you would like a copy of the information please contact me.
