One thought on “SEAVEY, Hial Paul”
Am just finding this site. I am descended from Isaac Seavey , thru the Strong family of Pomfret and Woodstock, VT. Have been stuck at Edmund Seavey for a long time. I have Edmund with wife Elizabeth in Woodstock cem. Maybe a second wife? The above history on Hial Paul Seavey is very interesting to me. M.B.Knox.
