| * **[[book:001.richard|Richard Seymour]]**, arrived c.1639 from Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, England and settled in Connecticut. Much of my information comes from the book [[book:start|"A History of the Seymour Family"]] by [[book:George Dudley Seymour]] and Donald Lines Jacobus (1939), which documents Richard's line complete for six generations, with additional detail for his son, John's line. I've also included a [[richard_ancestry|brief genealogy of Richard's english ancestry]]. | * **[[book:001.richard|Richard Seymour]]**, arrived c.1639 from Sawbridgeworth, co.

| * **Colonel John Seymour, Royal Governor of Maryland** -- baptized 18 September 1649 at Bitton, Gloucestershire. Died 30 July 1709 at Annapolis, Maryland. He was the son of Thomas Seymour of Bitton and Elizabeth Lyte of Lytescary, Somerset. The Bitton Seymours descend from John Seymour (depending on the source), bastard son of Edward Seymour the Lord Protector. Upon his death, the family returned to England, so there are likely no American descendants from this immigrant. //However, his great-great granddaughter Mary Ann Seymour Compton immigrated to Baltimore circa 1810-20.// This information comes courtesy of Henry Sutliff.
