Henry Sewall represented the "Upper Parish of Elizabeth City" in the House of Burgesses of Virginia for the Sessions 4 September, 1632; in the Lower Norfolk, at Sessions 6 January, 1639, and died about 1644, as per the settlement of his estate shown at Orphans' Court, 25 February, 1649. Sewall's Point, at the mouth of the Elizabeth River, was named in his honor. Captain Sewall's wife, Alice, survived him, and married Matthew Phripp. Her will, dated 30 October, 1705, was proven 15 March, 1705-6. (3) Genealogies of Virginia Families from the William and Mary College Quarterly, Vol. IV [Reprint], Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1982, pp. 380-381: LETTERS EXTRACTED FROM THE COURT RECORD BOOKS. Henry Seawell the elder, merchant, was burgess for Elizabeth city in 1632, and was elected burgess for Norfolk county in 1639. He died about 1644, and a settlement of his estate was held at an orphan's court held Feb. 26, 1649, as follows: "having mett Concerning the Estate of Hen: Seawell deceased, by the opinion of the Cort and Consent of Jno Holmes, overseer, and Mr Lemuel Mason who hath Intermarried with Anne the dauther of the said seawell It was agreed as follows:-The estate of Mr Mathew phillipps late decd to be responsible for estate of said Hen: Seawell as it was left at the decease of Alce ye wife of ye said H. S. by Inventory &c and differences to be decided by 4 Indifferent men chosen on ye behalf of ye Orphants of ye said said Seawell & Mrs Anne Phillips afsd Administratrix of said Mr Mathew Phillips." The four arbitrators were, Jno Hill, Mr Theo: Lambard (Lambert), Jn Homles and Tho: Ivy. The son, Henry, was ordered to be sent to Holland for his education, in charge of Tho: Lee, who is spoken of as "his kindsman and seeming very desirous to have the youth with him." He seems to have been placed under the charge of one William (Lilly?) Scapes, merchant of Yarmouth in England, and 22 March he was bound apprentice to him for four years, and seven years' service by consent of the court. A deposition taken June 18, 1662, shows that the son, Henry, was born May 1, 1639, and another, August 16, 1672, mentions Henry Seawell, the younger, as late deceased, and that his sister and heir, Anne, now the wife of Colonel Lemuel Mason was born about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years since. "Seawell's Point," at the mouth of the Elizabeth River, was named for Henry Seawell, the elder, who was perhaps connected with Thomas Seawell, who patented four hundred acres on Pocoson River, York county, in 1635. The relationship with the Phillips' family does not appear, but it seems probable that Alice, widow of Henry Seawell, married Mathew Phillips, who, on her death, married Anne, and she survived him as his administratrix. The letter in the text was addressed to Captain Thomas Willoughby, justice, burgess, councillor, etc., Lemuel Mason, who married Anne, the sister of Henry Seawell, Jr., and John Holmes, who was overseer of Henry Seawell's estate. SEAWELL FAMILY. The old English pronunciation of this name, as shown in the early records, was Sowell. Henry Seawell, who died in Norfolk county in 1644, gave his name to the point at the eastern entrance of Elizabeth City River. He had two children-Anne, who married Lemuel Mason, and left descendants; and Henry, who died sine prole.
