’Way back before I met Hepzibah, Mammy nudged me gently with the basics of her own Seely researches. She knew that the first Seely to come to these shores was “Captain Robert Seely the Pioneer,” and we thought (incorrectly) that he was my ninth great-grandfather. At her urging, fairly early in my Cambridge days, I started poking around and became aware that Captain Robert’s name appears on the Founders’ Monument in neighboring Watertown. Further investigations in Widener Library both satisfied and titillated my embryonic family curiosity. and I learned, early on, that we had a lot more connections in Watertown than just the Seely one, and this section was one of the first ones I put together.
