    "Zachariah2 Seymour (Richard1), of Wethersfield, Conn., born at Hartford, Conn., about 1642, died at Wethersfield in Aug. 1702, aged about 60 years. He married at Wethersfield, 9 Feb. 1687/8, Mary Gritt, who survived him and married secondly Joseph Hollister. After the death of his father in 1655 Zachariah Seymour evidently removed to Farmington, Conn., with his mother, and appears as a freeman there in 1669. Later he settled at Wethersfield, where he married at the age of about 45."

    Seamore, Zachariah, Wethersfield. Invt. £200-04-03. Taken by Robert Welles and Jonathan Boreman, Selectmen. Will dated 14 April, 1702.

    I, Zachariah Seamore of Wethersfield, do make this my last will and testament: As to my housing and land which I have in the Township of Wethersfield, and all other estate, I do bequeath to my wife 1-3 part, having the command of one room in my dwelling house as part of her third, which is to be at her command so long as she shall remain my widow, and then to receive a reasonable rent for her part of the house. I give to my four daughters the whole and sole right to all my estate, especially my houseing and lands, after the decease of my wife, and 2-3 of all my estate to them I give as they come of age, and I give to each alike. Further, I do choose my loving brethren John Seamore, Sen., of Hartford, and Richard Seamore, of Farmington, to be overseers with John Seamore, Jr., and Thomas Seamore, of Hartford. And they may put out my children at their discretion.
