He took up with the Loyalist Guides and Pioneers around 1776. He apparently went to New York about the same time. He had three children between about 1776 and 1783, when he went to New Brunswick, Canada. All three children died after settling in New Brunswick, but many others were born afterward. Ephraim Seeley's wife's name was Ann, but her maiden name is not known. Since they had children names Joseph Gidney Seeley and Mary Olmstead Seeley, perhaps her name was Gidney or Olmstead. [I have not been able to determine any other connection of the names Gidney or Olmstead to this family.] They were married around 1776. No record can be found in New Milford, so my best guess is that they were married in Loyalist New York after the start of the Revolution. The family baptized their children in the Anglican Church in Gagetown, New Brunswick, in 1794, and descendants are known to also be Anglicans. My questions are: 1. Where should I be looking for the marriage record of Ephraim and Anna Seeley in Loyalist New York? 2. Would baptism records of the children be available? I am new to this list and fairly new to Loyalist research, so a little guidance would be appreciated. Trying to navigate the records of the numerous districts of New York City is rather daunting. I'd like to know which way to turn. Thanks for any advice or information. William D Romanski Rhode Island Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
