record of the trial of William Mackintosh, as a juror
appointed by the Gordon's, Earl of Huntly, along with William

Alexander
Seaton of Cuttle-Craigs, Lethenty, Daviot Parish, Aberdeenshire.
He is mentioned in
Quaker writings in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. He was born circa 1652,
and died in 1723. His father was John Seton
of Aquhorthies of the
Seton's of Meldrum family line. He became increasingly
involved in Quaker activities in Ireland beginning around 1677,
the same year as his son Thomas was born. He married Margaret
Joass, of the Colleonard family from Banff, and his four sons
were: Thomas, John, James and Andrew who went to Ireland first, and later
all went to
Pennsylvania and Virginia (except Thomas who remained in Ireland), as did his daughter Ruth. John married
a Jane Edwards in Scotland and learned the Tailor trade; James was
engaged in Linen manufacturing in Drogheda, Ireland; and Andrew
kept a Public House in Ireland and became quite wealthy, although
he was shipwrecked off Sable Island off of the coast of Nova
Scotia and lost everything. Thomas, who remained in Ireland,
founded most of the known Ulster familes of Seaton, and the later
Seeton's of Nova Scotia are descended from him. Ruth
married James Miller of Armagh, Ireland on Feb. 10, 1734, his
second wife, in London Grove Pennsylvania. Alexander Seaton, an
eminent minister of Friends in Ireland, son of John Seaton of
Aquhorthies, of the Seatons of Meldrum, was born about
1652, at Cuttle-Craggs, near Lethinty, Parish of Daviot,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and brought up a scholar, studying for
some time in the college in the old town of Aberdeen. Here in
1675, he became convinced of the Quaker principles. From Glasgow,
in 1699, he removed to Ireland, making his residence at
Hillsborough, County Down. He died 1 Mo. 1723.--Rutty, Leadbeater,
