It was an interesting coincidence to open my email this afternoon and find another researcher posting on the "SEALS" family surname as just this morning I too was looking for that name in the Pittsylvania/Halifax area of Virginia. Prior to 1770 in the "Entry Record Book of present Virginia Counties of Halifax, Pittsyvania,Henry,Franklin & Patrick" I find on page 81 "JOHN FLETCHER on the sth side of Roanoke River begin: on JOS. SEATS Lower Line thence down the River...." This JOSIAH SEATS born circa 1708 died on December 1, 1761 (will book Lunenburg Co.,VA) leaving his land in Halifax Virginia to his son, Robert Seats. 5 children by wife Martha. Robert Seats, the son, listed as Head of Household/Family in Halifax in the 1785 census. I am mostly interested in this property.... and the FLETCHER line. Nadine Christall Fletcher family researcher and descendant of THOMAS FLETCHER born circa 1762 & wife,Kezia Farris of Halifax Virginia.
