Like others on this board, family lore says that my great-great-grandmother Annie Thomas Seward (who married Valentine Feltus Cotton) was a relation of William Henry Seward.
She was born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and her parents were Thomas Seward and Hannah Gwynne Hughes.
I am looking for someone who has charted the Seward family and can tell me if my great great grandmother was TRULY a relation of the great William H. Seward or if this is just a myth
