Ancestry.com has a "War of 1812 Muster Rolls" database available. Unfortunately, the surname Seaman and the occupation of seaman aren't distinguished by the search interface. I checked for Israel Seaman (born April 19 1791 [from family Bible]) and found: SEAMAN ISRAEL Company: 2 REG'T (BEDEL'S), NEW YORK MILITIA. Rank - Induction: PRIVATE Rank - Discharge: PRIVATE ROLL-BOX:185 ROLL-EXCT:602 Willet Seaman: (born December 16 1792 [from family Bible]) SEAMAN WILLET Company: 11 ARTILLERY REGIMENT, NEW YORK.
