Gideon Seeley Revolutionary War There were 3 Gideon Seeleys in Stratford during the Revoluationary era: Gideon Seeley 1735-1761, Gideon Seeley b 1762 s Gideon 1735, Gideon Seeley b 1760 s Joseph Seeley m Jerusha Hubbell. The below militia list of May 1778 show 2 distinct Gideons in Stratford. These are probably the two younger Gideons, as the elder appears to have joined the British by April of that year. He was probably the "inimical person" arrested in July 1779. In the British Military records accounting the Loyalist regiments there several instances of a Gideon Seeley. They all appear to be the same man, apparently the elder Gideon. Esther Clarke Wright mentioned in her Loyalists of New Brunswick, a Gideon Seeley of DeLancey's Brigade. The Loyalist Gideon of Stratford appears to have belonged to DeLancey's. Even though ECW lists Gideon among the New Brunswick Loyalists, I have not found any evidence that he or his wife went there.
