    Notes 
    • Son of John B. Seawell, and Maria Henry Tyler, his wife, daughter of Governor John Tyler, was born in Williamsburg in December, 1808. He was eminent for his oratorical powers and legal attainments; and bore a strong resemblance to his uncle, President John Tyler. He served often in the legislature and was a strong states rights man. He was father of the authoress, Molly Elliot Seawell. His brother, Machen Boswell, studied at William and Mary College in 1839-40, studied law and was regarded as one of the best chancery lawyers in the state. An uncle was Gen. Washington Seawell of the Federal army. (See Seawell Family in William and Mary College Quarterly, Vol. VIII, 54).
