Posted on: BaltimoreCity County Md. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Md/BaltimoreCity/13438 Surname: SEWARD ------------------------- My great great grandfather was Andrew Jackson Seward, b. 1815, Springfield Twp., Ohio, m. Carrie Sheckels. They lived in the Locust Point area of Baltimore City and had a son named George Edward Seward, who was my great grandfather. Andrew Jackson (called Jackson) was the son of James Seward b. abt. 1776, Hardyston, Sussex, New Jersey; son of James, b. abt. 1732, Brookhaven, Long Island, New York; son of Obadiah, b. abt. 1702, Brookhaven, Long Island, New York; son of Obadiah, b. abt. 1682, Brookhaven, Long Island, New York; son of Obadiah; son of Obadiah, b. November 01, 1661, Milford, Connecticut. I'm struck by the coincidence here. Much of the information I have is from my great uncle, who had first hand knowledge of George Edward Seward (his father), and Andrew Jackson Seward (his grandfather). I would be interested to know if there is a connection between our families.
