Mary (Parker) Seaver (1857-1919) married William H. Seaver (1855-1938) in 1875 in Watertown, New York. They had only one daughter, Bessie M. (Seaver) Symonds (1886-????), who married Franklin J. Symonds in about 1906. I had this Seaver family in my RootsMagic database, but did not have the names of the two Symonds daughters.
William H. Seaver is my 5th cousin 4 times removed.
