I have posted something similar before, but I am curious to learn if there are ANY researchers on this list whose Seavers are known to have come from Ireland. I live in New Zealand, but I am Australian. My Seavers immigrated to Australia from Ireland in 1864. From what I can see, this list is made up of those whose Seavers immigrated from England or Germany to the U.S. Am I correct, or can someone tell me I am not alone???

My Nicholas Seaver/Seavers/Severs/Seever line is from :
Ballynachant, County Armagh, Ireland (settled - Ireland in 1650) (will made in 1687)
I have some of his descendants who went to Australia,if you need them.
Nicholas Seavers was originally from England under Lord Cromwell.
***********************************************
Nicholas Seaver Sr was the son of Richard (1682-1767) of Ballynachant, County Armagh, Ireland and unkn mother; no known siblings.
Richard was the son of Nicholas Seaver and unkn mother, a 2nd marriage for Nicholas.
Nicholas and unk mother had two children -- Richard and Nicholas, 1677-1687 and a sister unkn.
Richard's father Nicholas had Charles and Elinor by a first marriage w/ Elinor Symonds.
Here's where we get really old: Nicholas, son of Nicholas of England, was an officer selected to serve under Oliver Cromwell as a member of the Ironsides Calvary Regiment sent to reconquer Ireland in 1649.
In 1650 after the Irish troops were defeated, it is reported that Nicholas settled
in the townland of Trea, near Armagh, which he held under the Primate
of the See.
Nicholas was the issue of Nicholas of England, unk mother.
Nicholas of England and his brother, Charles, were officers in the English army who removed themselves from Ireland to Oxford in the 16th Century.
The Seaver brothers were reportedly speedy in their journey from Ireland at the
insistence of Hugh O'Neill who in 1598 near Armagh defeated an army sent to Ireland by Elizabeth 1st (Elizabeth Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII) to put down the Irish Rebellion.
This information apparently comes from a Saviers family history published in 1992 by John Saviers, 3265 S. Albion Street, Denver CO 80222.
******************************************************
***************************************************************************************
Nicholas Seaver settled in Dublin,Ireland in1650 and changed his abode to Ballaghy,County Armaugh,Ireland,where he held a much land in his own right under a Grant from Charles I.
It has been a tradition in the family that as an officer in the English Army,he came to Ireland with Cromwell's Army,but there has been no clue as to the
part of England from which he came !!!
**************************************************************************************
Other authorities think he was descended from ancestors who previously settled in Ireland.
Nicholas became a Protestant in 1650,having been a Catholic before that date.
His Will was dated 1687 and he died not long afterwards !!!

Hi,
Both of my Grandparents were Seaver. My Grandfather
Joesph Seaver was born in Australia. My Grandmother
was born in England. The family home was Heath Hall in
Ireland.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying. My branch of the Seaver family is quite separate from yours - mine are the Seavers from County Dublin. These were the Irishs Seavers who always lived in the farming communities of north County Dublin. Yours were from England and they immigrated and settled in the north of Ireland, where Jonathan Seaver built Heath Hall, I think in the 1600's.. I can refer you to a couple of people I know who are from your side of the family, and also, a second Seaver family reunion is planned for later this year. The first one was in Dublin 3 years ago. Good luck with your research!

Thank you for the information.

I have a large number of names that are from Ireland in my database of 11,700 plus names.
IE: William Joseph
Josephine H. O'Conner
Robert Hoffman
Catherine Hoffman
Margaret Lonegan
Annie Borodaile
James Swan Sullivan
John Owen Sullivan

The list goes on and I am interested in you passing my new email address on to the others who are in to English SEAVER names.

Thanks again

Wilmer BARNES SEAVER
Both names are being researched by me

Can you e-mail me at ca4santafe@juno.com
I would love to see what you have on the Seaver family,
and I could share what I have.
Thank you,

My husbands name is William Seaver Smith his great great grandfather was Dean Seaver who also was a desendant from Seavers Heath Hall.

I have the Seaver family book by George Seaver
on the Seaver family. If you need any information I would be glad to help you.

I have no wife. However, I decided to try and find more on him. I have not as yet. BUT, I did find a Christopher Seaver with a wife Margaret in the 6-24-1870 census in Ward 11, District 15 NYC, NY County, NY. Line 39 & 40. His occupation listed as Iron Moulder. Both born in NY.He was 47 and she was 42. Sons Frank 22 a policmanand FRED?? 18 A machinist Both born in NY. I hope this is a help. Wilmer Seaver
