This page contains transcribed sections from A History of the Seymour Family by George Dudley Seymour and Donald Lines Jacobus (1939). The bulk of this transcription was done using a scanner with OCR software, with the resulting text hand-edited to remove scanner errors. The contents are not guaranteed to match the original book, but this is my goal. If you spot something that looks wrong, please feel free to contact me.
