Information on William Seawright
From "A Record of the Seawright Family", by James Allison Seawright, pg. 62:
William Seawright of Leacock township, Lancaster county, came from near the city of Londonderry, Ireland, in the year 1740. He was then eighteen years of age, and settled near Lancaster city, where he became quite wealthy and influential. At twentyone years of age he married Catherine Jackson, who also came from the North of Ireland, and to their union was born an only daughter, Catherine, who married Samuel Ramsey, whose life and patriotic services in the darkest time of the Revolutionary struggle is noticed in a preceding foot note. William Seawright had an uncle, Alexander Seawright, who was in the siege of Londonderry, and, after it was raised, died .from exhanstion. William Seawright, of Leacock, seems to have been a relative of the Lampiter township William Seawright, although we have no authentic evidence of their relationship.
