About Captain Anthony Sealed II
His will was filed 5 November 1781, in Prince William Co., Virginia. He named wife-Ann; and children: John, Anthony, and Betty; and son-in-law-William Brown. [Clemens. Virginia Wills Before 1799. p. 87].
Anthony Seale, II (1695/1702 1781) and his wife Ann Bristow (c1695/1705 1785/1790) married in 1720, and in the 1720s, Anthony and his father Anthony Seale, I operated a ferry across the Rappahannock River. Ran in the mid 1720's between Hayfields wharf and Conway's warehouse. It still ran after other owners to over the ferry, but it was still consider the Seale's ferry. It ran for nearly eighty years. The elder Anthony apparently died by 1730, and Anthony II and Ann moved into Stafford County, settling in the portion that became Prince William County in 1730. Anthony Seale, II became a justice for the county in 1738 and served in this capacity for many years. He was elected as Sheriff of the county in July 1752 and served for two years. He also served on the vestry of Dettingen Parish between 1745 and 1760, serving as churchwarden between 1748 and 1751. While serving as a justice in the early 1750s, Anthony Seale II heard cases presented by Lawrence Washington, the elder brother of our first president. In 1761, George Mason sued Anthony Seale, II in court for non-payment of a debt. The court found in Seale's favor. Mason later went on to serve in the Virginia Convention, and he helped write the Declaration of Rights. Most historians judge Mason as one of the most influential colonial figures. Anthony and Anne Seale lived on their plantation in Prince William County during the remainder of the 1760s and 1770s, until Anthonys death in 1781 at about eighty years of age. Anne lived a few years longer, but died by about 1787. (1)

Assuming that Anthony Seale II was between eighteen and twenty-five when he married, he was probably born sometime between 1695 and 1702, in Essex County Virginia. He was the son of Anthony Seale, I and his wife Dorothy. The younger Anthony married Anne Bristow on 24 December 1720; Anne was the daughter of the Episcopal priest John Bristow, who had moved to the Colony of Virginia from England. Father and son Anthony operated a ferry across the Rappahannock River in the mid-1720s; their ferry ran between Hayfield wharf and Conway’s warehouse. Even after other took over the operation of the ferry, it was still known as Seale’s ferry for the next eighty-five years. The elder Anthony apparently died by 1730, and Anthony II moved into Stafford County, settling in the region that became Prince William County in 1730.
