Wonder if you could look at this situation and tell me what you think? I know you are familiar with geographic locations and would like your opinion on the following scenario.
I think this Seton family could possibly have gone by Winton surname in Ireland and America?
Says they are FROM: Scotland, TO: Ireland, AND settled in Johnstown, Pennsylvania which is where my 6th and 7th grandfathers are found in the area! I think this James Seaton's "SON B"... Could be my Lieutenant. John Winton of the Pennsylvania Militia, whose son William was Constable of Dublin Township, Selling his land Pioneer Deed Huntingdon County Right next door to Johnstown, Pennsylvania on the map. All the names of this family James, John, William, George, Alexander are all repeating names in my family and this particular area of settlement is the right area! This family looks to be Military and Preachers as well, "fitting my family perfectly".
I would love to know where the rest of the descendants from this James Seaton directly afterwards are found. I also see the McClellan surname marrying to others in this family. This McClellan surname is believed to have been connected with some of my earliest great grandmothers.
