The Walter Hobart Seaton Family A Genealogy |

collected this small amount
of information, I don't let myself get involved

Here is some information from The Seaton Family, Oren Andrew Seaton, Editor; Crane & Company, Topeka, Kansas, 1906; Chapter LIV, pages 345-352, "Some Scotch-Irish Seatons" (a copy of the book is in Albuquerque, NM -- the New Mexico Genealogical Society has information about it). James Seaton and his wife Martha lived in County Tyrone, Ireland, at a place called Dranity. He was a man of some wealth, and had 12 children, all boys: George, Thomas, Alexander, William, James Jr., Robert, David, Jared, John, Hezekiah, Joel, and Nathaniel. (I went to www.maps.google.com and searched for Tyrone, Ireland; it is now in County Galway. Marge, 3/22/10.) George Seaton was born in County Tyrone, Ireland. He married Nancy Amberson in the old country, and came to America about 1778, settling in the Ligonier Valley, near Greesburg, and not far from Pittsburgh. George was a Captain during the Revolutionary War. He and Nancy had 12 children as well: John, William, Robert, Elizabeth, Thomas, Jackson, George, Jr., Amberson, Jane, Mary (Polly), Nancy, and Martha. After Nancy Amberson Seaton died, George married a widow, Martha James Ausstraw; she was the daughter of Henry James of County Derry, where Martha was born. George and Martha had two sons: David, born February 22, 1802, and Alexander White Seaton, born May 23, 1804 in Westmoreland County Pennsylvania. David Seaton was said to have come to the United States from Scotland, and settled in Ohio. If so, he must have traveled back to the old country then returned, because he married Catharine Piper November 9, 1826, and was living in Pennsylvania August 23, 1834. Their children and dates of birth: Uriah C., October 9, 1828 George Washington Seaton married Martha Purcell. At present, I only have their children's names, not their birthdates: John
Henry Calloway Seaton, born in Indiana William Henry Seaton's widow, Mrs. Georgianna Caton Seaton, was the informant for her line of Seatons. In 1906, she and her four children lived at Crane, Stone County, Missouri. Their children were:
John Henry Calloway (or Calaway)
Seaton was my grandfather.
He married Martha Jane "Jenny Sue" Caton. They are buried near their
parents in the
Seaton cemetery in Taney County, not far from Branson. Both of my dad's
grandfathers were named after our first President: George Washington
Seaton
and George Washington Caton. Dad said one fought on each side
during the
Civil War, but he couldn't remember which was which. Mrs. Caton's
first
name was Elizabeth, maiden name Weir. They were the parents of
Georgianna
Caton Seaton, the wife of William Henry Seaton. Thus, my dad had
"double cousins," because his father married Martha Caton and his
uncle married Martha's sister (at least I think they were
sisters). Lyola
Chase Workman is researching the Caton side of the family, so some of
this
information is from her records. NEW:
One
of my dad's "double cousins" was Bruce Seaton. His wife was
Dorthy Seaton; they were actors in the Shepherd of the Hills drama at
Branson, Missouri for years. Bruce's full name was Snyder Bruce
Seaton; his mother's maiden name was Snyder. I checked www.FindAGrave.com and found
them in the Crane (Missouri) Community Cemetery. Gail P. added my Grandpa Seaton's obituary to the www.FindAGrave.com website... click here to read it; he was buried in Seaton Cemetery. Here is the link to information about everyone who is buried in Seaton Cemetery in Taney County, Missouri, including my Grandma Seaton, Martha Jane Caton Seaton. Nancy Catherine Seaton, born in Indiana, October 10, 1855 and died March 9, 1915, presents us with a mystery. I think maybe Seaton was her married name. The children of John Henry Calloway Seaton and Martha Caton Seaton were Byrdie, Ralph, Troy, Royce, Lonnie, and Walter (my dad).
Ralph Seaton, October 2, 1888. Married to Grace Seaton, born March 26, 1897 Troy Seaton, April 19, 1890 Royce Seaton, February 17, 1895. Married to Audra Rutledge Seaton, born on February 14 Lonnie Seaton, December 10, 1902 Walter Hobart Seaton, January 26, 1905; died April 1, 1982. Buried in Lyons, Kansas. Married to Dorothy Elizabeth V., born September 28, 1912. Dorothy (Mom) passed away April 1, 2004; she's buried beside Dad in the Lyons Cemetery.
The children of Walter and Dorothy Seaton, with spouses and children: Carl Eugene Seaton (passed away
October 28, 2016);
Verna Lee Bast Seaton (Vernie passed away October 29, 2002). Marjorie Marie Seaton Marshall (me!);
Howard William Marshall; Kansas City, Kansas. He passed away
December 8, 2012. Leon Leonard Seaton; Roberta W.
Seaton; Edmond Oklahoma. Leon passed away June 22, 2021. Norman Noel Seaton; Sharon W. Seaton; Dallas, Texas Patricia June Seaton Crawford; Gary
Crawford; Hutchinson,
Kansas. Gary passed away May 20, 2012. Dorothy's Information Dorothy Elizabeth V. Seaton was born Dorothy Elizabeth Osgood, daughter of Millette Osgood and Bertha Mae Slack Osgood; after Millette and Bertha divorced, Bertha married Mont Crystal V., who adopted Dorothy and her sister, LaVerne. LaVerne's birth name was Alta
Luverne, but
she changed it to LaVerne Alta V. She marred Frank John Wille. They had
four children: Frank John "Boots" Wille, Jr., Mary Ann Wille Reith,
Philip
Wille, and Steve Wille. Uncle Frank died in 1982; Aunt LaVerne in
1996. https://archive.org/stream/seatonfamilywit00seatgoog/seatonfamilywit00seatgoog_djvu.txt |
