Mrs. Seymour, whose death, at the advanced age of 81, we recorded as above, was eminent as well for her virtues and unaffected Christian character, as for antient descent and noble alliance. She was pious without fanaticism, devout without hypocrisy, and charitable without ostentation. Endeared to the circle of social and domestic life in no ordinary degree hy suavity and equability of temper, by artlessness of manners, and the most anxious solicitude for her kindred in the several close conDexions of daughter, mother, wife, and sister, a deep and indelible sorrow for such a loss will live in the recollection of her friends and acquaintance, when this tribute of respect from one who was rendered happy by the possession of her esteem shall long have ceased to be remembered. Mrs. Seymour was one of the daughters of Matthew Cassan, esq. of Sheffield Hall, near Marynoro', Queen's County, and in early life excelled in all those accomplishments which distinguish and adorn the minds of females in the higher ranks of society. The following is a correct state.. ment relative to the issue of her highly respected father by both his marriages. Among the sons, were Stephen, Joseph, and John; among the daughters were, 1.
