HENRY SEAMAN, a prominent farmer five miles west of Winters, Yolo County, was
born October 12, 1826, in Prussia. His parents, Jacob and Catherine (Jacobs)
Seaman, natives also of Prussia, emigrated in 1837 to Cincinnati, Ohio, and the
next year to Indiana, where he died in 1845; he was a farmer most of his days.
Henry's mother died when he was very young. As he grew up he was first employed
in a general store, from 1837 to 1847. In 1858 he came across plain and mountain
to California, with ox teams, and for the first seven years he was a resident of
Sacramento: ten months of this time he was clerk in the Bee-Hive Hotel. In 1859
he purchased a ranch on Putah Creek, in Solano County. His place now contains
2,000 acres, fifty acres of which are in orchard. He has also been a very
extensive stock-raiser. In 1890 he bought a nice residence,-a house and four
lots-in Winters, where also he is raising some very fine fruit.

  He was united in marriage in Sacramento, in 1858, to Miss Peredes, a native of
Chili, who died in 1864. The next year, in Suisun City, Mr. Seaman married Ellen
Ryan, a native of Ireland, born November 15, 1837. Their only child, Henry, was
born August 19, 1866, and died in 1875.
