"Nathan A. Seaver, who died in Putnam, CT, November 15, 1901, was born in Thompson, CT in 1843. He was the son of George and Emily Chamberlain Seaver. He was of Revolutionary stock, his grandfather William Seaver having served in that war, coming to Thompson in the first quarter of the 19th century from Sheurburg, MA."

Linda noted that "The gentleman who wrote the obit was a George Dexter, who provided lots of Chamberlain and some Seaver info to make Nathan's daughter, Lucy Seaver Flagg (my grandmother) eligible to join the DAR. The letter was written in 1916."
