The fourth Thomas Seamans was the son of Thomas and Sarah Millerd Seamans or Simmons. This is where the spelling of the name began to be changed to Simmons. He married Marian Lee of Rehobpth who was a direct of Gov. William Bradford 'of Plymouth. In the vital statistics of Rehoboth, his name as well as that of their 10 chilr dren is spelled Simmons. There are thousands of descendants from these four men named Thomas, some with the surname Seamans and some with it spelled Simmons.

The oldest boy knew why they had been sent away and" when he became of age he told his brothers of their property in .Virgina and that he was going to claim it. He boarded a vessel that apparently sunk at sea. Two years later, the second boy made an attempt to go to.Virginia but the vessel was wrecked and only two were saved to tell the tale of the disaster.
