Notes

  • This family name was recorded by Bertie Lois Dumond McSwain as Seamons in her formal listing of family history.  But in family discussions about family history and in an informal letter referring to families, she spelled it Seamon.  The formal list is dated before the discussions and after the letter where it appears without the s.  It is likely that the form without the s is either a lapse of memory when spelling orally, or an unconscious variation.

    I have chosen to use the spelling Seamons.  This is the spelling I commonly find in various family lines.  But some have followed a spelling found in one of the censuses, Seamans.  There was also another unrelated family that did spell their name that way.  The name comes originally from the German Siemens.  The other two forms are English adaptations.  I see current families of this surname using the spelling Seamons.

    In April 2014, Ralph DuMond, a grandson, found Thomas' grave broken in the St Charles Cemetery, St Charles, Arkansas County, Arkansas.  Interestingly, it appears the surname is spelled there as Seamans.

    "I finally found my Great Grandfather's grave in the St. Charles Cemetery.  Seems all I had to do was actually go there and search for it.  Books, Phones & Internets were no help.  He was Granny's (Ethel Seamans DuMond) father."

    "Thomas W. Seamans. Father of Ethel Seamans Dumond (Granny). Since Ethel was his only offspring that had children (remember Aunt Lilly?), we cousins are his only descendants. His father (also Thomas Seamans) was in the First Arkansas Infantry, Company H (Crockett's Rifles). He was wounded the second day of the Battle of Shiloh, taken aboard the Union hospital boat the D.A. January to a hospital in Covington, Kentucky where he died."
