Notes |
- In 1800 there was a Daniel Seward in Wallkill. The houshold consisted of 2 males and 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-15, 2 males and 3 females 16-25, 1 male 26-44, and 1 male and 1 female over 45. The younger man could be Juliana's husband, and she could be one of the three females under 25, though her age at death puts her just over 25 in 1800. Daniel Seward of Wallkill was assessed for $900 in real estate in 1803 (R&C p.440)
In 1810 there was a Daniel Seward in Southold, Suffolk Co, Long Island, where there were 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-15, and the parents 26-45.
In 1820 a Daniel Seward was in Goshen. He had 2 females under 10, 1 male 10-15, 2 males and 1 female 16-25, 1 male 26-44, and 1 male & 1 female over 45.
The Daniel Seward in Goshen in 1830 had 1 female 15-19 (Julia?), 1 male 20-29, 1 female 30-39, 1 female 50-59, and 1 male 60-69. These last two appear to match Daniel and Juliana, and seems to include their daughter Julia. The male in his 20s could be the male 10-15 in 1820.
There is no telling how many of the above might be Dr. Daniel Seward, husband of Juliana Rumsey.
Julia Ann Seward, wife of Doct. David [sic] Seward was admitted to the First Presbyterian Church of Goshen 6 August 1831, and baptized the following day as wife of Dr. Daniel Seward (GPCh p.66,139).
Julia/Juliana was not indexed in the 1840 census. In 1843 when her brother Peter died, his sister Julia Seward of New York City was listed among his heirs.
The death notice for the daughter Julia, in The Whig Press of 20 Dec 1854, called her "(Mrs)" Julia Seward, and reported that she was Principal of S. S. Seward Institute in Florida [NY]. Samuel S. Seward established the Insitute bearing his name in 1846. "The first principal of the separate female department was Miss Seward." (R&C p.571). "Goshen Female Seminary was established in Goshen in 1851. Julia Seward became the second principal of the school" (ibid p.522)
