Inventory of the Estate (SGS #17)

2006 Stott Research Report on Obadiah Seeley

By SGS Chief Genealogist Karl Weiler

In the November 2007 SGS Newsletter we published the inventory of the estate of immigrant Obadiah Seeley, SGS#4. Below is the inventory of the estate of his oldest son, Obadiah Seeley, SGS #17. The latter was born about 1648/49 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Conn. and he married Esther Stevens (b about 1648/9) in 1669, the daughter of Thomas and Ann Stevens of Stamford. Obadiah died on July 25, 1679/80 in Stamford, Fairfield Conn.

The below inventory of Obadiah Seeley’s (SGS#17) Estate, Fairfield District Probate , 3:55 is from Family History Library film no. 004,287. It was obtained by SGS Chief Genealogist Karl Weiler. The Family History Library film was interpreted by Clifford Stott, CG AG. The spellings and misspellings are the way they were translated from the original document.
