====== 13. Jonathan Seymour ======

13. JONATHAN<sup>3</sup> SEYMOUR (//[[005.Richard|Richard]]//<sup>2</sup>,
//[[001.Richard|Richard]]//<sup>1</sup>), of Farmington, Conn., baptized at
Farmington 17 Apr. 1687, died before 5 Oct. 1725, when administration was
granted on his estate. He married, 23 Dec. 1714, EUNICE<sup>3</sup> HOLLISTER,
born at Wethersfield, Conn., about 1696, daughter of Capt. Stephens
(John<sup>1</sup>) and Abigail (Treat) and sister of Abigail, wife of his
brother [[012.ebenezer|Ebenezer Seymour (12)]]. Eunice (Hollister) Seymour
married secondly, 13 Jan. 1726, William Chittester or Chidister of Wallingford,
Conn.

Administration on the estate of Jonathan Seymour was granted 5 Oct. 1725 to his
widow, Eunice Seymour, and to Mr. Ebenezer Gilbert, and said Eunice was
appointed guardian of the children, viz., "Eliakim, 4 months old, Eunice 10
years, Martha 5 years [//sic//] Jerusha, 5 [//sic//], and Lois, 1 year and 7
months."((Manwaring's Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records, vol. 2,
p. 570.)) Soon after the second marriage of Eunice, widow of Ebenezer Seymour,
his brother and sisters petitioned the Court that some other persons be
appointed guardians to the children, because the said Eunice "is now married to
one Wm. Chitester, a poor shiftless man, and the children are in a suffering
condition, not likely to be provided for."((Manwaring's Digest of the Early
Connecticut Probate Records, vol. 2, p. 570.)) Robert Booth of Farmington was
therefore appointed guardian of Eunice, Jerusha, and Lois, and George Hubbard of
Middletown, Conn., who had married their aunt, Mercy Seymour (5, iii), was
appointed guardian of Martha and Eliakim, children of the deceased.
