Nathan was the twelfth child born to David and Huldah Seaman. He married Sarah Taylor in 1873. They had eight children.
Nathan may have been mother Hulda's favorite son. He was the one to whom she announced her plans for the future in March 1880. She wrote: " I intend letting someone have this place for taking care of me while I live. I would be glad to have you come...there is plenty that would be glad to take it, but I would be glad to live with some of my children...Think the matter over, and if my children will not accept the old homestead on these terms I will give it to strangers. I have never had the business in such a fair way to be settled. Nathan, I can truly say that God hath led me in a way I know not. From your loving Mother until death."
Nathan accepted and he and Sarah returned to St. Vincent later that year to take care of the farm as Huldah suggested. How long she might have lived we can only guess, because three years later, she died in a train accident near Flint Michigan while going to visit her daughter, Isabella, in Chicago.
In 1888, Nathan sold the farm and took his family back to Nebraska. He stayed ten years before returning to his native Ontario. He and one of the Mallories entered the sawmill business about two miles north of Woodford. Later he settled south of Owen Sound. Finally he bought a mill at Sauble Falls in Bruce County which he operated with his son Theodore. It remained in the Seaman family for thirty five years until it was destroyed in a fire. Nathan passed away in Sauble Falls, Ontario.
