I may be related to Alton Linwood Seaver, but I do not know the Seaver connection. He is descended from Joseph T. Seaver (1805-????) who married Betsy N. Dasvis in 1830 in Taunton, Massachusetts.
You never know when a descendant or relative will find this blog post and learn something about their ancestors or relatives, or will provide more information about them to me.
