    "8 Thomas (Sealy), Kennebec, wit. a Parker-Webber deed with Edmund Pattishall 26 Dec. 1664. O. A. to King 8 Sept. 1665. … He may have been the youngest br. of the Shoals Sealys, who was bap. at Stoke-in-Teignhead 28 July 1638 and was liv. in 1664. The Kennebec man was a refugee at Braintree, where he sued Richard Thayer in 1678 and took O. A. 21 Apr. 1679."

    "Martha Blaisdell's second husband was probably a member of the sea-faring family of Sealy from Stoke-in-Teignhead, co. Devon, of whom three brothers, George, Richard and William, were active at the Isles of Shoals in the seventeenth century. By a process of elimination it seems probable that he was Thomas Sealy, possibly the fourth brother baptized at Stoke-in-Teignhead on July 28,1638. This Thomas was in the Kennebec region in the 1660's and when King Philip's war broke out he took refuge in Braintree, a likely place for him to have met the young widow Bowden of Boston. The last record of him found is in 1679 when he took the Oath of Allegiance on April 21."
