Name	Jerusha SEELEY
Born	*[1779]	[NY]
	Petition 5 July 1785: 3 children dead since settlement. 1 child born Return 5 August 1785: 1 child under 10 1794: 6 children baptized at Gagetown [Jerusha, Gideon, Isaac, Jemima, Mary, Joseph] Petition 28 January 1797: 7 children [Jerusha, Gideon, Isaac, Jemima, Mary, Joseph, ?] Petition 3 March 1797: 6 children [Jerusha, Gideon, Isaac, Jemima, Mary, Joseph] Jerusha [1771-1778] 2 or 3 Gideon [1773-1781] Isaac [1788] [1785-1790] Jemima 1790 Mary [1791-1794] 3 Abraham [1800] Rebecca [1800-1812] 1 It wasn't until March 1779 that Ephraim Seeley ended his stint with the Continental Army and took up with Emerich's Chasseurs. Given that his wife was from New York, and the Chasseurs were stationed there, there's no good reason to believe he was married long before this time. In fact, his wife's family may have been New York Loyalist, which may have played a role in his change of loyalty. It wouldn't be unreasonable to conclude that he was married about this time. Ephraim Seeley may have had as many as 15 children, most likely born after 1779. According to a petition that he made in July 1785 he had 3 children who died since he settled, and 1 child was born. The next month a return of the settlement was taken, this only showing 1 child. Nine years later he baptized 6 children at th Anglican Church at Gagetown. A petition in January 1797 indicated he had 7 children at the time, another in March records 6. It is tempting to say that Jerusha was the the one child first born in New Brunswick, but all records giving her age put her birth at much earlier, a range from 1771 to 1778. So let's say Ephraim and Anna were married about 1779 and Jerusha born not too long after. As for the discrepency with the number of children given in the petitions, I imagine it is just that: a discrepency. Jerusha was born before coming to New Brunswick, along with two other children. The other two died after settlement, and another was born. The first child born in New Brunswick was probably Gideon, likely after the August 1785 return. The next 4 children are known and are the remaining part of the 6 baptized in the Anglican records in 1794. Another child was born between then and another petition in 1797, but that child apparently died in 1797. Judging from the census of 1800, two more children were born between 1797 and 1800. Three more children were born between 1800 and 1810.

	http://vre.lib.unb.ca/motty/ Marianne Grey Otty Database On this site you will find transcribed Anglican Church records from the Gagetown, New Brunswick area. The original nine record books were kept by a series of travelling ministers and covered the years 1786 to 1841, containing lists of marriages, baptisms, and deaths. The records centre geographically on Gagetown, Queen?s County and particularly focus on the New Brunswick communities of Fredericton, Saint Marys, Lincoln, Grand Lake, Waterborough, Long Island, Wickham, Hampstead, Maugherville, Petersville, Sheffield, Kingston, Springfield, Greenwich, and Saint John. The communities are mainly located in King?s, Sunbury, and York Counties of New Brunswick, but entries as far flung as Nova Scotia, Ontario, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and New York are included.

Notes

Petition 1847: Jarushy
Petition 1849: Jerushy
Washington County Probate: Nil
Death daughter Eliza: Abigail
St Ann's Anglican Campobello: Nil Marriages, Baptisms, Burials

Peter McCallum apparently had a daughter Jerusha born before 1791.

Claim: Jerusha wife of John Black is Jerusha Seeley daughter of Ephraim Seeley.

1. Direct evidence
shw1218 (Susan Hicks) is a John Black descendant and a DNA match to Gram. I haven't been able to examine the match in detail.

2. Circumstantial evidence
Ephraim Seeley occupied a piece of the grant of John Black. The others on that property were also related to Black: George Spurrier's daughter married a son of John Black, Samuel Dean married a daughter of John Black.
The Seeleys, Blacks and Greers were all Anglicans.
John Black and Ephraim Seeley are both coopers.
Ephrain Seeley lived at Perry, Maine, 1800. It appears John Black did as well.

3. Consistency
Mary Seeley would be about the right age to have married Andrew Greer around 1820, and no evidence of her marrying or having a family is known.

4. Inconsistency
Jerusha's ages given in records make her too old by several years to be the daughter of Ephraim Seeley, unless she was one of the children born before the Seeleys came to New Brunswick.
A petition by Ephraim Seeley dated 5 July 1785 claims that he had 3 children when he settled, 1 born since he settled, and children dead since he settled. The language of the petition suggests that all his children died since his arrival, but it is not clear. One solution is that Jerusha is one of the children born before the family's arrival in New Brunswick, and Gideon was the one born since the arrival in NB. However, a return of Guides and Pinoeers dated 5 August 1785 says that there was only 1 child in the family at the time. These innacuracies seem to wash out by 1794, when 6 children of Ephraim and Anna Seeley (including Jerusha) were baptized in Gagetown.

Seven women who applied for the pension received at least one rejection by the Legislature. Jerusha Black, who was living in Pennfield Parish, Charlotte County at the time of her husband's death in 1846, left that parish after his death and her first petition was filed from St George Parish in 1848. She was granted her pension that year, but the following year, when she applied from St David Parish, she was denied support. Back in St George in 1850, she received her pension once more. The following year, at age 79, she returned to her childhood home, Campobello Island, where she and John Black had married in 1793. There is no record of her application that year, but in the following year, 1852, she was receiving her pension in Campobello.
