Continuing along with John Seaman story, I was impressed to see what a man of his word that he was. The Town Records of Hempstead, Long Island, state: "It seems probable that in the previous year Captain John Seaman coming from the eastern end of the island, had settled land adjoining what was subsequently the eastern boundary of the Hempstead Purchase, and had secured title to a tract comprising more than twelve thousand acres, which, in 1685, under the Dongan patent, became part of the town of Hempstead." From that time on we find his name in many pages of history, recording a life of ceaseless activity in the establishment of his section of America. "Once he signed an agreement or pledged his faith he never disclaimed his share of it."
