Some Famous People called Ezra Seaman
Ezra Seaman
Ezra C. (Ezra Champion) Seaman (1805–1880) was an American lawyer and political theorist.
Seaman was born in Chatham, Columbia County, New York on October 14, 1805. In 1831 he was admitted as an attorney of the Supreme Court. In 1835 Seaman married Marietta Virginia Doe (1808–1880) and they had three children Walter Doe (1837–1845), Augustus B. (1844–1845) and John Marshall (1847–1872). In 1839 they moved to Detroit, Michigan.
While practicing in Detroit in 1847 Seaman was possibly the first lawyer in the western states to have his briefs and arguments printed prior to submission to the court. The advantages of this practice were recognized in the city by the legal profession which followed suit.
In the years 1849 to 1853 Seaman lived in Washington, D.C. and served as the chief clerk of the first comptroller of the U.S. treasury, Elisha Whittlesey. In 1853 Seaman moved back to Detroit and then in 1854 to Ann Arbor, Michigan where he was appointed by Governor Kinsley S. Bingham as inspector of the state prison.
Seaman wrote several books on scientific and constitution subjects and was described in his Obituary as "... an original, independent, and profound thinker." His title Essays on the Progress of Nations, in Civilization, Productive Industry, Wealth and Population had 7 versions between 1852 and 1868.
