Notes for Jonathan Seaman, Jr.:
[from: Cole, David Rev., History of Rockland County, New York with Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men, (New York: J.B. Beers & Co., 1884)
Jonathan Seaman moved to Kakiat-on-Hudson in about 1712. "Originally, that part of the County of Rockland now embraced in the town of Ramapo, was known by the Indian name of Kakiat" [Cole p.254] "In Kakiat the first settlers...were the original company of men who, in 1711, purchased the north moiety of this patient. They were almost entirely from Queens county, L.I.
The first one to arrive was Abram Denton, a descendant of Daniel Denton who, about 1660, wrote the first description of the Province of New York. It is probable that he was the agent through whom the purchase was made. He was followed, soon after, by Joseph [?] and Jonathan Seaman, sons [actually grandson] of Captain John Seaman, a prominent citizen of Queens county. Jacomiah, son of Jonathan Seaman 'was the first white child born in New Hempstead." [Cole, p. 264-265]
The owners of the North Moiety in 1724 were Cornelius Cuyper, Charles Mott, John Allison, Thomas Kirbie, Jacob Remsen, Thomas Barker, Elbert Monfort, William Hutchings, Timothy Halstead, William Campbell, George Downing, Nicholas Conklin, Jonathan Rose, Richard Pearce, William Osborne, Abraham Denton, Jonathan Seaman, John Wood, John Palmer, and Richard Coombs. For each of these, who owned a full share, a homestead of 400 acres was laid out." "The homestead of Jonathan Seaman was 66 chains square." "To the north of Seaman's lot a series of lots, each of the same length and extending to the north bounds of the patent, was laid out. This tier was called 'Seaman's Range' or 'The Range of Seaman's Home Lot,' and is frequently mentioned in old deeds."[Cole, p. 257-258]

More About Jonathan Seaman, Jr.:
Will: October 3, 1748, proved October 16, 1755 in New York before Lambert Moore, Esq. (Source: Heritage Books Inc., New York Abstracts of Wills, 1665-1801 (CD #9), (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1997), "CD-ROM," 5:78, "In the name of God, Amen. I, Jonathan Seaman, of New Hempstead, in Orange County, being somewhat indisposed. I leave to my loving grand son, Jonathan Seaman, eldest son of my son Jonathan, deceased, of Frederick County, Virginia, 5 shillings. "I leave to my son, Jonas Seaman, 200 [pounds], to be levyed out of my real estate if New Hempstead People shall recover the land that is now in dispute between us and the Lawyers in New York." And if my real estate should amount to more than it is at present, then my son Jonas shall be made equal to his brothers John and Nehemiah. I leave to my daughters, Elizabeth Palmer, Hanah Coe, and Martha Vandervoort, 74 [pounds] 3 [shillings] 7 [pence]. to make them equal to what my daughter, Phebe Coe, has received from me. But if my estate amounts in value to 400 [pounds], then I give to my four daughters 100 [pounds] each, and if there is any thing over, it is to be divided among my sons, John, Jeconiah, and Jonas. I make my sons John and Jeconiah, and my son in law, John Palmer, executors. Dated, October 3, 1748. Witnesses, Guysbert Cuyper, John Vandervoort, William Sarjant. Proved in New York, before Lambert Moore, Esq., October 16, 1755. [NOTE: In 1717 a colony of men from Hempstead, LI, purchased the north half of the Patent of Kakiat, in what is now Rockland County, NY. They made a settlement there and called it New Hempstead. New City, the county town of Rockland County, is a part of it. The lands in controversy between them and the "Lawyers of New York" were a disputed part of the south half of Kakiat, which was owned by Lancester Synes and others. For a more complete account see "History of Rockland County.--W.S.P[ellatrau]].")

Marriage Notes for Jonathan Seaman and Elizabeth Denton:
Jonathan Seaman, Jr. lived in New Hempstead, Orange County, NY married Elizabeth Denton. His will was proved October 3, 1748. In the records of Hempstead, Long Island we find, "The record of Jonathan Seaman, his land and measure, given him by his brother David Seaman, December 26, 1709." In 1712 he bought land at Kakiak-on-Hudson, NY and settled there. They had eleven children. [from Seaman, Mary Thomas, The Seaman Family in America..., (New York: TA Wright, 1928).

"Elizabeth Denton was born about 1666, married Jonathan Seaman. In 1748 a Jonathan Seaman lived in Frederick County, Virginia. The Seamans of Virginia were from the New York family of that name. Jonathan Seaman was the son of Jonathan and Jane Seaman, Jonathan Seaman the elder was son of Capt. John Seaman. Jonathan Seaman of Hempstead, Queens Co., NY removed to New Hempstead, orange County New York (now Rockland County), about 1713. In the records of the Reformed church of Tappan, Orange County, (now Rockland) we find the baptism records of the children of Jonathan Seaman and wife Elizabeth Denton as follows: Jacomiah Seaman, June 17, 1718; Jane Seaman, June 17, 1718; Eamie Seaman, June 17 1718; Jonas seaman, June 17, 1718; Elizabeth Seaman, August 3, 1720, and Jonathan Seaman, August 3, 1722. The last two were evidently born after the family removed to Tappan, Orange County, NY. The older children must have been born at Hempstead, Queens County, and were not included in the above list of baptismals. Those not included were Nehemiah, Hannah, John, Martha, and Phebe Seaman.
