Nathaniel Seeley was of New Haven, Ct. 1646-1656. In New Haven Town Meeting Records, June 7, 1650, Nathaniel's wife testified that she had been married 8 months. Her father, Benjamin Turney, had died in 1648. Nathaniel, as husband of Mary, Benjamin's daughter, received "one parcel of meadow over creeks, being about 1 1/2 acres" from Benjamin Turney estate. Nathaniel also acknowledged receipt of his wife's share of Benjamin Turney estate, being 10 pounds and her share of land. In 1651, Nathaniel was in Fairfield, CT. as early as 1657, when he became a freeman and where he was an extensive land holder. When the residents between Fairfield and Stratford asked for a new parish, the distance being to great, it was granted and called Stratfield, Ave, Bridgeport, CT. was the old division road between the two towns.
Nathaniel's property lay along the north side of the creek in Fairfield to the creek which is now along North Ave., Bridgeport; it ran 10 miles into Stratford.
In 1659, as his father was in England, Nathaniel sold some of Robert's property.
In 1673, he received a grant of land from Fairfield of 8 acres, and, by part purchase, land adjoining his home lot, called Seeley's Neck. He also bought a sedge marsh of 15 acres.
In 1674 he was appointed by the General Court of Ct. to lay out the boundaries between Fairfield and Norwich. He was called Sergeant in May 1674. In nov. 1675, he was commissioned as Lt., and was second in command of the Army of Fairfield Co. in Kink Philip's War. He served as Captain in Fairfied Co. Dragoons Nov. 1675.
Nathaniel was killed in The Great Swamp Fight at Naragansett. Inventory of his estate was taken Mar. 16, 1676, in which his widow, Elizabeth, mentioned her former husband, Obadiah Gilbert, and their daughter, Sarah. Also mentioned were Nathaniel's children by his first wife; Nathaniel, Robert, Benjamin, Joseph, John,Mary, Sarah, Phebe and Rebecca. Mar 15, 1675/6, Elizabeth made a mutual agreement with Nathaniel and Robert Seeley on behalf of Capt. Nathaniel Seelye's children.
A grant of 200 acres of land was made by Colonial Govt. to Nathaniel's widow, Elizabeth, 1676, in recognition of his service in the war. She deeded land to her son Obadiah Seeley-probably Obadiah Gilbert, son of her former husband. Distribution of estate was made Mar. 3, 1704.
