No infrormation found on the other's indicated - sorry.
Name: John SEELYE
Sex: M
Birth: 22 Apr 1757 in Litchfield, Litchfield Co., CT
Death: 17 Jan 1813 in Lindley, Steuben Co., NY
Note:
CAPT. JOHN SEELYE, though never a resident of this county, has numerous descendants in the Cowanesque valley. He was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, April 22, 1757, and died in Lindley, Steuben county, New York, January 17, 1813. He married Elizabeth Lindsley, March 9, 1783. She was born July 17, 1764, and died January 25, 1852. She was a daughter of Col. Eleazer Lindsley, a soldier of the Revolution and a pioneer of Steuben county, where the town of Lindley was named in his honor, though a mistake was made in the official spelling of the word, which was intended to be "Lindsley." Captain Seelye and wife were among the honored pioneers of that locality, and reared the following children: Mahlon, Samuel, Daniel, Micajah, Mary, Phoebe, Louise, William, Eleazer and Eliza. Captain Seelye was a prominent Mason, and his grand-daughter, Miss Charlotte A. Inscho, has in her possession a gold locket containing his portrait, on the back of which is carved the mystic symbols of the Masonic order. It is an heirloom highly prized by the owner.

Justus was too old for Army service in fighting during the Revolution. However, he assisted in forwarding the Army and Mitilia of Ct. in their marches as far as Albany and other places many times, for which he never carried any account or expected any other reward than the satisfaction of serving his country.
Will was dated Oct 25, 1795; inventory taken Dec 12, 1795; proved Dec 14, 1795. States that as the estate is small and will represent little to his individual children, he is leaving all to his wife Phebe. Estate was insolvent.
