John Seymour settled first at Hartford, where eight of his children were baptized at the Second Church. Shortly after 1730 he removed to the West Parish of Hartford, now West Hartford. There he lived on the corner where the middle orad to West Hartford intersects "Quaker Lane." To this road he seems to have given his name, since it was long known as "the John Seymour road." He was elected in 1731 an inspector of staddle wood, and again in 1732, 1733 and 1737; leather-sealer, 1739 and 1742; inspector of wood, 1739, 1740, 1743 and 1744; hayward, 1740; and Constable, 1741. Staddle-wood (an Americanism) was a term applied to standing trees between four and eighteen inches in diameter. The annual election by that small community of an inspector of wood shows the force of the English traditions by which they were controlled. The Hartford of that time was of course surrounded by forests, but this did not prevent its citizen from adopting regulations for the conservation of the timber resources of the colony, and these regulations had their origin in England, where he scarcity of timber had been felt long before the settlement of New England and where stringent regulations for its preservation were already in force. On Dec. 17, 1741, it was voted that John Seymour Junr., "have liberty to take, upon lease, a piece of land upon the Town Commons, for the purpose of sinking Tanfatts therein." About 1750 (he was then fifty-six years of age), or it may have been earlier, he removed to New Hartford, then a frontier settlement, where his father, who was at this time alive, owned a large tract of land, the greater portion of which he gave or bequeathed to him. Here he lived in that part of the town known as West Hill, and here "Mr. John Seymour departed this Life July 25, 1758" (New Hartford Town Records). His grandson William Seymour, of Fredonia, New York, who as a small boy saw him, remembered that he had "a cancer in his jaws and face." John SEYMOUR and Hannah ENSIGN were married on 7 MAY 1733 in West Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut.

The births of all the children of the second wife (Hannah Ensign) are recorded at New Hartford, but their baptisms are found in the West Hartford church records. It is evident, therefore that West Hartford was the place of their birth, and that the family record was entered in the New Hartford town records after the removal of the family to that place about 1750. 5. Hannah ENSIGN was born on 19 JAN 1711/12 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. She died before 3 JAN 1778 in New Hartford, Litchfield, Connecticut.
