General Notes: Wife - Nancy Amberson

---

In the Seaton family the legend of George Seaton and Lady Nancy Amberson has come down through the generations.
When Anna Dale Alexander was a little girl, her mother, Eliza McClelland Dale, told her that HER mother, Agnes Seaton McClelland, related how George Seaton of County Tyrone, Ireland, and Lady Nancy Amberson fell in love and eloped. They were married in Dranity, County Tyrone, and came to America, where they settled on a farm near Ligonier, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
Agnes Seaton McClelland told her daughter Eliza that she remembered when her mother's sisters came to visit in Pennsylvania. They were named Amberson, and they were beautifully dressed. The little girl Agnes recalled that her mother "stood in the doorway, watching her sisters out of sight and seemed very sad." "When they went away they did not look back." Nancy Amberson Seaton never saw any of her relatives from Ireland again. She was very much opposed to runaway matches.
