ENGLISH-MASSACHUSETTS SEATONS.

WILLIAM SEATON, of Bristol, England, must have been born not very far from 1770, for his son Robert was born October 13, 1792. When William died the flags in Bristol were hung at half-mast; so, presumably, he was a public officer.

ROBERT SEATON, son of William, was born at Bristol, and came to America with his family about 1846. His son, Worthington Winton Seaton, was born in Bristol, September 16, 1842, and was about four years old when he came across the Atlantic. He is located at No. 61 South street, Boston, Massachusetts, where he is engaged in the leather business, according to the Boston 1903 Directory. His home is at No. 16 Davis avenue, Brookline, Massachusetts, from which place a letter was received from his wife, Mrs. Sarah M. Seaton.
