-Although not listed on the DAR website, I stumbled across a record of a Drake Seymour, Sergeant and Drummer, who served under Capt. Abraham Meade of Horseneck.  Therefore, although 60 Seymours have been officially recognized, we now have proof that at least one wasn’t, and maybe more.  Since I found this in the book – Ye Historie of ye town of Greenwich (page 133) [[http://www.archive.org/stream/yehistorieofyeto00mea#page/132/mode/2up]] , I think it’s safe to assume that this is Samuel’s son and William’s brother.+Although not listed on the DAR website, I stumbled across a record of a Drake Seymour, Sergeant and Drummer, who served under Capt.

 Drake lived in Greenwich until 1819, and had 5 daughters, 3 of whom lived and died in Greenwich, while the other 2 married and moved to Fishkill, NY.   Drake was also listed along with his father, great-great, etc. Grandpa Samuel, amongst those who were officially recognized as losing property during the War, and eligible to receive land grants (aka Fire Lands because the British had burned their town) in Huron and Erie Counties of Ohio In this listing, [[http://www.archive.org/stream/historyoffirelan00wil#page/16/mode/2up/search/seymour]] it shows Samuel with a greater loss than Drake.  William would name his first son Drake, so he obviously had a lot of respect for his big brother. Drake lived in Greenwich until 1819, and had 5 daughters, 3 of whom lived and died in Greenwich, while the other 2 married and moved to Fishkill, NY.   Drake was also listed along with his father, great-great, etc. Grandpa Samuel, amongst those who were officially recognized as losing property during the War, and eligible to receive land grants (aka Fire Lands because the British had burned their town) in Huron and Erie Counties of Ohio In this listing, [[http://www.archive.org/stream/historyoffirelan00wil#page/16/mode/2up/search/seymour]] it shows Samuel with a greater loss than Drake.  William would name his first son Drake, so he obviously had a lot of respect for his big brother.
