"Samuel, (son of John), removed to Duxbury; a physician...Samuel Seabury, sonne of the late John Seabury of Boston (now living in Duxbury), this 10th of April, 1662, entered his claim to a certain house and parcel of land heretofore belonging to his father, now belonging to his brother John Seaberry of Barbadoes and himself, the said house and land being in possession of one Nathaniel Fryer, who detains it from them under a pretence of a purchase from Alexander Adam, and he from John Milom, the land being about half an acre more or lesse, and bounded with the land formerly Isaaac Grosse, northwest, Walter Merry on the southeast and southwest, and the bay northeast, which claim he resolves to prosecute.....

"Samuel Seabury owned land at Is. Ck, North river, the Gurnet and at the brick-kilns. The 'Seabury House' stood where Wait Wadsworth's now stands, and was a large old fashioned building, very high in front, but with the roof nearly reaching to the ground behind.
Both Samuel and his wife refer to 'negro servants' in their wills. His will gives to son Samuel his landed property in Duxbury; to son Joseph, "those great silver buttons, which I usually wear;.. to son John my birding piece and musket; I will that my negro servant Nimrod (valued at 27 pounds) be disposed off either by heir or sale in order to the bringing up of my children, especially the three youngest now borne." In her mother's will, daughter Elizabeth is given a negro girl Jane, and a cow, if she returns."
