- 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.

[The Archives relating to the Revolution volume 30, numbers 51-147, consist of returns from the various town, giving particularly the names of soldiers serving in the Continental Line from these towns whose families had received supplies from the town during the years 1777, 1778, 1779. Many of the returns give, in addition to those whose families had received supplies, the names of other soldiers serving from the respective towns during those years. The names of those whose families had received supplpies are carefully checked with a cross, and such names comprise the "Alphabetical List" which forms the first document in the same volume of the Archives, and is printed in this volume beginning on page 21. The names of such soldiers as are not thus checked are here given under their respective towns.]
