  Samuel Seabury - LoveToKnow 1911
SAMUEL SEABURY (1729-1796), American Protestant Episcopal bishop, was born on the 30th of November 1729, in Ledyard, Groton, Connecticut.
His father, Samuel Seabury (1706-1764), originally a Congregationalist minister in Groton, was ordained deacon and priest in the Church of England in 1731, and was a rector in New London, Conn., from 1732 to 1743, and in Hempstead, Long Island, from 1743 until his death.
His son Charles (1770-1844)1844) was rector in various Long Island churches; and Charles's son Samuel (1801-1872), who graduated at Columbia in 1823, was rector of the Church of the Annunciation in New York in 1838-1868, and from 1862 professor of Biblical learning and the Interpretation of Scriptures in the General Theological Seminary.

 ATR/LXXIV:3
What distinguished Seabury's view of the Church from that of the New Light evangelicals was his belief that the unity of the community required adherence to a fixed ecclesiastical government, "fixed and settled" at the time of the primitive church, and that that government demanded hierarchical authority, symbolized by the episcopate and the clericus.
What Seabury implicitly recalled was the single homogeneous unit which characterized the 17th century New England town in which democracy, or non‑hierarchical authority, was irrelevant since the unity, peace, and security of the community was provided by the silent consensus of the members and obedience to those who acted in their best interests.
Seabury's continuing fear of radical republicanism is evident here because it is based, he believes, on a false ideal of social equality, false precisely because it is out of touch with human nature in its fallen state.
