Later Life
In 1659 Seeley briefly returned to England, living there until 1662 when he returned to the New World and settled in present-day Huntington, New York on Long Island. He died in New York City in 1668. In 1695 his heirs received 40 acres (160,000 m2) of land in Watertown, resolving a suit which Seeley had filed 60 years earlier after settling in Wethersfield. In the suit he had claimed that he had not been given the area promised to the original settlers of Watertown.
