====== 116. Noah Seymour ======

116. NOAH<sup>6</sup> SEYMOUR (//[[060.William|William]]//<sup>5</sup>,
//[[020.John|John]]//<sup>4</sup>, //[[008.John|John]]//<sup>3</sup>,
//[[003.John|John]]//<sup>2</sup>, //[[001.Richard|Richard]]//<sup>1</sup>),
born at New Hartford, Conn., 10 Nov. 1759, died at Sodus, N.Y., 26 Mar. 1832;
married at New Hartford, 17 Dec. 1784, MIRIAM<sup>5</sup> KELLOGG, born at New
Hartford, 6 Sept. 1765, died at Sodus, 11 Jan. 1846, daughter of Capt.
Noah<sup>4</sup> (//Isaac//<sup>3</sup>, //Samuel//<sup>2</sup>, //Joseph//<sup>1</sup>) and Clemence
(Merrill).

He served as a Private in 1777 in Capt. Abel Pettibone's Co., Brig.- Gen.
Wolcott's Regt., Peekskill Campaign, and in 1778 for nine months as Orderly
Sergeant in Capt. Amasa Mills' Co., Col. Roger Enos' Regt., serving on the
Hudson; afterwards he enlisted in Capt. Elijah Seymour's Co. of Dragoons and
served as Orderly Sergeant for six months.

He removed about 1812 to Sodus, Wayne Co., N.Y. The author well remembers that
when he was a young man his father made a brief visit to his relatives in Wayne
County, and was impressed with the beauty and fertility of their fine farms. The
author made a "sentimental journey" in 1936 to the burial place of his great-
grandfather and great-grandmother, and could not help feeling that they had done
well in participating in the westward movement as so many families did after the
Revolutionary War.

The inscriptions on the stones of Noah and his wife in Huron Evergreen Cemetery,
next to the Town of Wolcott, N.Y., read:

|  Noah   |  Miriam  |

| |  There I shall bathe my weary soul  |
| |  In seas of heavenly rest  |
| |  And not a wave of trouble roll  |
| |  Across my peaceful breast  |
