• Notes

  Samuel Seely was a Rev. War Soldier. He served in the New York line. Pension number W19335. On 10 Apr 1807 Samuel Seely of Newtown, County of Tioga, conveyed, with the consent of his wife Mercy, 592 acres to William    Seely of Newtown, except 60 acres mortgaged to Daniel Hall, Esq., by Josiah Seely, the first owner of Orange County. Witnessed by    James Seely, Jr., and Bartlett Seely. Signed Samuel Seely (Tioga County Deed 3:267). This must be the parcel of 592 ¾ acres that    Nathaniel Seely, Jr., and Elizabeth his wife, Abner Hetfield and Elizabeth his wife, Samuel Edsall and Sarah his wife, James Seely    and Nancy his wife, and Addam Seely of the town of Chemung and County of Tioga conveyed to Josiah Seely, Jr., of Orange    County, New York. Signed by Nathaniel Seely Junr., Elizabeth Seely, Adam Seely, Samuel Edsall, Sarah Edsall, James Seely,    Nancy Seely, Abner Hetfield, Elizabeth Hetfield. Witnessed by Samuel Seely and Timothy Smith (Tioga County Deeds 1:44-5).     There is no record of how Samuel came into possession of the property, but many early deeds went unrecorded. The property    evidently reverted back to Samuel when on 20 May 1809 Samuel and Mercy mortgaged 592 acres to Josiah Seeley of Orange    County, New York, which mortgage was paid in full on 29 Jan 1812 (Tioga County Mortgage 1:161).
