Notes for William Seabrook:
From "British Roots of MD Families," Barnes.:

"In 1730 he was sentenced to transportation to MD. William Seabrook, of St. Ann's Aldersgate, was indicted for feloniously stealing a hat, value 5s, the property of Thomas Painter, the 25th of August last. (cites Proceeding at the Old Bailey from 28 AUG to 1 SEP 1730). He was duly transported in the ship "Forward", George Buckeridge, master, sailing from London in the Autumn of 1730. He came to MD and by Jan 1737/8 had m. Jemima, dau. of Richard Gist and had issue. His descendants are traced in "Seabrooks of Maryland and Pennsylvania," by Richard S. Wheeler, Md Genealogical Society Bulletin, 34, (2) 137-154."

page 162, Dorsey book:

"In March, 1738, William Seabrook was living in the same neighborhood in Baltimore County as his brothers-in-law Christopher Gist, Thomas Gist, William Gist and William Lewis, when he signed a petition regarding the clearing of a nearby road.

On March 26, 1742, Christopher Gist, Baltimore County, merchant, and Sarah, his wife, conveyed to his sister, Jemima Seabrook and William Seabrook her husband, for brotherly love, a tract called Pleasant Green, containing 100 acres. (Balt. Co. Md. Deeds T.B. No. A., p. 132, Hall of Records, Annapolis)

On September 4, 1748, Charles Carrol gave to William Seabrook, Baltimore, deed of exchange, in consideration of Pleasant Green, which was conveyed to William Seabrook and Jemima, his wife, by Christopher Gist; Chas aforesaid herewith conveys to William Seabrook, Taylor's Farm, 100 acres, and London, 50 acres, granted to Thomas Taylor, situate in Baltimore County on the Patapsco River at a place called Soldier's Delight. (Balt. Co. Md. Deed T.R. No. C. pp. 280-281)

[This must be why Mrs. Dorsey places Jemima Gist Seabrook's death before 1748, because Chas Carrol conveys only to William Seabrook land which had been given to William and Jemima Gist Seabrook]

On February 20, 1761, William Seabrook sold to Peter Gosnell, 50 acres, part of Taylor's Farm. On February 27 1767, William and his wife *Zipporah* Seabrook, sold to Adam Shipley, 50 acres called London, and half of a tract called Taylor's farm. (Balt. Co. Md. Deeds B. No. 1, p. 37; Deeds B. No. P, p. 727, Hall of Records, Annapolis)"
