[c.1647] who delete the final "s" in their surname. Many of them migrated along the shore of the Long Island Sound westward from Swansea, MA and are found in Connecticut. They also mixed in with descendants of Capt. John Seaman [c.1609-1695] of Hempstead, Long Island, NY who migrated North into Westchester County, NY. The SEAMANS family of Mass. has been well documented in: Lawton, John Julian, The Seamans Family in America as descended from Thomas Seamans of Swansea, Massachusetts 1687, (Syracuse, NY: Privately Printed, 1933). I don't know of anybody that has put this information on a web site. "Alanzo" is a name that occurs in that family. There are SEAMAN - Dusenberry marriages in a Long Island SEAMAN family that migrated to New Jersey but I don't see any connection to the family you are searching for.
