Hi! I descend through a Sealey/Sealy/Celey who supposedly came through the port of Charleston, SC. This Seyle certainly is just another varient spelling of the same name. I descend through Sealey on the paternal side of my family. That information has been put aside for a number of months as I have been working on the maternal lineages. Off the top of my head I can tell you the following: Sarah Seeley born about 1767 in Burke County, NC, died in 1837 in Burke County, NC, married to Nicholas Chapman. I believe Sarah's father was George Seeley/Sealey (a loyalist...most coastal residents were loyalists) born 1748 in Beaufort County, SC and according to his will died by 1812. He lived in Burke County, NC with his wife Alice. The father of George was said to be Isaac Seley from Charleston, SC. I would be pleased to hear from you if you have any data which matches any of this. We may be related! Shirley DSPW@webtv.net

Just in case you didn't know, there is a huge estate in Asheville, North Carolina on Town Mountain called Sealy's Castle.
