The surnames Seeley, Seely and Seelye are identical, and descended from the same Amer- ican progenitor. Governor Seeley, of New Jersey; Congressman Seelye, of Massachu- setts; President Seelye, of Amherst College; Herbert Barnum Seeley and Clinton Barnum Seeley, of New York, and many other well- known men are all of this family.

The surname Bedient is com-
BEDIENT mon in England, where it is usually pronounced in three syllables, but the family appears never to have been numerous either in England or this coun- try.
(I) John Bedient, the immigrant, came from England and located in Fairfield county, Con- necticut. John, Eleazer, Jesse, Mordecai and Zalmon Bedient were soldiers from that coun- ty in the revolution. All were presumably sons of the immigrant, and born from 1740 to

1760. In 1790 there were at Norwalk and Stamford, according to the first federal cen- sus, four families of Bedient. The census of the two towns was taken together. Gilead Bedient had four sons under sixteen, and seven females in his family ; Jesse had one son under sixteen, and one female; John had one son under sixteen, and two females; Mordecai had two sons under sixteen and two females. These were sons or grandsons of the immigrant. In 1790, John Bedient was reported of New York City, having himself and four females in his family. The census shows no others of this family in New York or New England.
(II) Mordecai, son of John Bedient, was born between 1730 and 1740, and lived in Fair- field county, Connecticut. He was a soldier in the revolution, a private in Captain Com- stock's company, Eighth Regiment, Connecti- cut Line, which was raised January, 1777. The regiment was in active service and took part in the battle of Mud Island, Pennsylvania, where he was reported killed. The records have a question mark opposite this record and he evidently recovered, from the fact that fur- ther service is shown, but he was probably missing or severely wounded ( Pages 232, 326, 572, Revolutionary Rolls of Connecticut). Mor- decai was in Captain Stephen Billings's com- pany on a pay-roll for January to April, 1781, and also in Captain Smith's company, General David Waterbury's regiment, in 1781. His residence is given as Norwalk at that time.
(III) Gilead, son of Mordecai Bedient, was born between 1750 and 1760, in Norwalk, Connecticut, or vicinity. He was living in or near Norwalk in 1790, as shown by the census report mentioned. Children: Betsey, Anna, Sally, David, Seth, Griswold, Abigail (called Nabby), Naibau; Gilead H., mentioned below ; Lerama, Mary, Doctor and Burr.
(IV) Gilead H., son of Gilead Bedient, was born in Wilton, Fairfield county, near Nor- walk, Connecticut, August 27, 1785, and died of cholera at Cincinnati, Ohio, May 12, 1849. Soon after he came of age, about 1809, he left home with Elijah Bennett, a neighbor of about the same age, and came to Delaware county, New York, to settle. He worked for various pioneers there by the month for two or three years. He married (first), February 4, 1813, Lydia Smith, who was born December 22, 1794, and died September 13, 1829, whose sis- ter about the same time married Elijah Ben- nett. Each had thirteen children, and Ben-
nett's brother also had thirteen, making at one time thirty-nine cousins living within two miles of each other. Lydia Smith was a descendant of the Hubbard and Eggleston families of Connecticut. Gilead H. Bedient married (sec- ond), July 1, 1830, Eunice Turner, who was born February 23, 1814, and died prior to May 30, 1886. She was also of English ancestry. The Turners lived over the line in Otsego county. Most of the settlers in this section came from Connecticut. Elijah Bennett and Gilead H. Bedient were drafted just before the end of the war of 1812, soon after they had married. They left home one Sunday with their regiment, and were stationed at Sacketts Harbor. After three months of serv- ice they were mustered out and returned home. Children of Gilead H. Bedient: Aus- tin C., born August 23, 1814, died May 30, 1866; Amos H., mentioned below ; Ira S., born December 18, 1816, married (first), January 17, 1845, Catherine Carpenter, (second), June 3, 1866, Sophronia Carpenter, (third), August 13, 1889, Alsina A.

There are many distinct families BARKER of Barkers which bear different coats-of-arms and are seated in various counties of England. Those who first bore this surname evidently were bark strip- pers, selling their product to those who tan- ned leather, consequently there was a Barker wherever there was a tanner. The Barkers of county Salop trace their pedigree to the year 1200, to Randulph de Coverall, whose descend- ant, William, changed his name to William le Barker about a century later. In the seven- teenth century there was a Robert Barker of London, the king's printer, who issued the first edition of King James' Bible. This Barker be- longed to a Yorkshire family, and is supposed to be grand-nephew of Sir Christopher Barker, K. B. The wife of Governor Edward Wins- low, of Plymouth Colony, who was a printer by trade, was Elizabeth Barker, and is thought by some authorities to have been related to Robert Barker, the king's printer.
In America the name is frequently found among the early settlers, but it is not known whether the different immigrants were nearly related or not. The first bearing the name to arrive on this side of the Atlantic appear to be the brothers Robert and John Barker, who were at Duxbury, Massachusetts, in 1632, and later moved to Marshfield. James and Thomas

Barker were at Rowley, Massachusetts, in 1640, where Thomas was made a freeman May 13, and James a freeman October 7 that year. Richard Barker was at Andover, Massachu- setts, in 1645, and was one of the founders of the church there. Edward Barker was in Bos- ton in 1650, and James was at Newport, Rhode Island, in 1651, and chosen deputy governor in 1676. There is a group of Barkers about Concord, Massachusetts, who are descended from Francis, who settled there in 1646, while those settled about Rowley descend from John Barker. Two of the oldest houses in New England are associated with Barker families. At Pembroke, Massachusetts, formerly a por- tion of Duxbury, recently stood a dwelling built by Robert Barker somewhere about 1650. The earliest portion of the structure was a single room built of flat stones laid in clay and covered with a shed room. In 1722 the walls were covered with sheathing, and other rooms added so as to form a large wooden building. It stood near a large brook which once furnish- ed power for a sawmill. The house was for sev- eral generations a sort of tavern-much frequent- ed by travelers from Boston. Judge Samuel Sewall mentions in his diary of stopping at this place on his way to hold court at Plymouth, and in 1681 Robert Barker's wife was fined for selling cider to the Indians. The strength of this building and the fact that it had a well within its walls, caused it to be made a garri- son house during King Philip's war, and a part of the barricade of hewn timber remained a century later. At Scituate harbor still stands a comfortable house which has been occupied by Barkers for more than two centuries. It was built in 1634 by John Williams, father-in- law of John Barker, and was for a time used for a garrison house, as appears from its mas- sive inner walls of brick. pierced with loop- holes. The building is in a good state of preservation, but has been considerably mod- ernized. A few years ago an old deed with a seal bearing a coat-of-arms was accidentally discovered in a junk shop at Providence, Rhode Island. The deed was signed in 1694 by Sam- uel and Francis Barker, of Scituate. The escutcheon consists of a field with bars or sable, crossed by a bend gules. The crest is an eagle displayed surmounting a crown. This, according to Burke, belongs to the Barkers of Kent, Middlesex and Surrey, England. The early settlers of Scituate were called "the men of Kent," which would seem to indicate the
English home of Robert and John Barker, the Scituate pioneers. A branch of the family settled in Maine, another in New Hampshire, and from the latter branch spring the Orleans county (New York) family.
(I) Richard and Joanna Barker emigrated from England to America, and settled at An- dover, Massachusetts, as early as 1642. In a list of names purporting to be the names of all the freeholders as they came to the town of Andover, found in the earliest book of the town records (now existing), Richard Barker's name is fourth. He was one of the ten free- holders (required by law to constitute a church ) who organized the church at Andover (now North Andover), October 24, 1645. Hardly any town affairs of importance for fifty years is on the records of the town which does not bear his name as party or witness thereto. He was prominent in the church, was select- man again and again, and was trusted with the administration of many estates. His descend- ants have numbered many men of note and influence. He died in 1693. Richard and Jo- anna had six sons.
(II) Ebenezer, second son of Richard Bark- er, was born May 2, 1651, died 1747, aged ninety-six years. He was one of the twelve men who made up the quota of Andover in the Narragansett war, 1675. He married, May 25, 1686, Abigail Wheeler, who was one of those accused of being "a witch" during the witchcraft madness, but fortunately not con- victed. Ebenezer and Abigail had three sons.
