Seth with a perhaps is placed as one of the 10 children of Samuel III. Hanover is where the family originated and there were three brothers there having children, but the age coincides best with Samuel III.... that is what the perhaps means.... at the worst he would be the son of one of the other brothers. He and his wife were admitted to church at Wareham Mass, Sept 3, 1780, Wareham Church records, page 8 During the war with the French, he served from Hanover in the expedition to Crown Point, led by Capt.

The anchor factory where Seth worked later became the Hartford Manila Paper Mills, and subsequently a powder mill. His surname was misspelled "Wetherby" in the 1790 census. His estate was inventoried Aug 10, 1798.
