Synopsis:
In 1808, they migrated from Frederick Co, VA to Chillicothe, Ross Co, OH.
In 1810, they moved to Wilmington, Clinton Co, OH.
In 1820, they were still in Clinton Co. They evidently lived there until Jonah and Catherine died.
Catherine SHEETS' ancestry continues to be a mystery. Until further information to the contrary is located, we are going on the assumption that she was the daughter of Philip SHEETS. Interesting to note they named their first child after his paternal grandfather, Jonathan SEAMAN. The third and fourth sons, Lewis and George, probably after the two known brothers of Catherine. The second son is Philip, probably named for his maternal grandfather.
The suretor at the marriage of Catherine and Jonas was George Sheets and the minister was John Potts. (Source: Keesecker: Berkeley Co, VA Marriage Records.
According to the SEAMAN History, Catherine was a sister of John and George Sheets of Frederick Co, VA and the aunt of John Sheets of Madison, IN and Williams Sheets of Indianapolis, IN.
History of Clinton Co, Ohio, 1882, p. 486: John PATTERSON, in 1813, carried on the blacksmithing business in Wilmington. Jonah SEAMANS was engaged in the same business the next year and built his house ont he northeast corner of Spring and Sugartree streets. Reuben ADAMS, a tailor, settled in 1816, and carried on a considerable business in his line at the house of Joseph SEAMANS.

History of Clinton Co, p. 796: The first emigrant to the present limits of Washington Twp., as far as the writer hereof has been able to find out from the meager information to be obtained at this day and date, was Isaac WILSON, perhaps the first settler, who came from Virginia, who settled in Colonel CAIRINGTON's Survey about the year 1803, on the land now owned by George BROWN. Next came Jonas SEAMAN and a Mr. ARMSTRONG, both settling upon the present site of Cuba, the latter opening the first house for the entertainment of the public in the year 1805.
History of Clinton Co, p. 804: The first village laid out in the township, and perhaps the second in the Co, was Cuba, then called Paris, laid out in the year 1813, by Jonas SEAMAN and James ARCHEY. The original as well as present number of lots was 100. The present population is about one hundred and fifty. It is the voting-place of the township. The first hotel was kept by one Mr. ARMSTRONG, who opened a house of entertainment here in 1806, [footnoted as also given as 1805] at that time known as the Cross Roads, being the point where the trace or trail from the south crossed the College Township road. This road was located and opened a few years prior by an act of the Legislature of 1802-3, authorizing the laying-out of various State roads, among which was the College Township road, leading from Chillicothe, by way of Morgantown, to the College Township, now in Butler Co. This road soon became quite a thoroughfare, and the emigrant's wagon was constantly in sight; hence the necessity for houses of entertainment. Mr. ARMSTRONG entertained the traveling public for a few years and retired. He was succeeded by Jonas SEAMAN, who remained in the hotel until near the close of the war of 1812. Mr. SEAMAN was succeeded by J.J. LACY, who occupied the premises for a short time, and he gave way to Matthew CALLAWAY, who acted as inn-keeper for many years, and was succeeded by Col. J. Ward JONES. This was about the year 1826. Since then, the inn-keepers of Cuba have been numerous and varied, until within the last twenty years, when, the opening of the various lines of railways causing the travel to give way to the more rapid transit by rail, the travel by usual routs has been so reduced that inn-keeping in the Co villages has been abandoned, and this is the condition of Cuba at this time. Cuba has one large general merchandise store, one drug and grocery store, blacksmith and wagon shop, one grist and saw mill.
History of Champaign Co, OH, Middleton, pp. 332ff (in the Biography of Nathaniel C. Hunter): ...on January 20, 1883, Nathaniel C Hunter married, secondly, Mrs. Anna Eliza (SEAMAN) ENOCH, widow of Henry ENOCH, of West Liberty, who died 1858. Since the death of her husband, Mrs. HUNTER has continued to make her home in Urbana, where she is very comfortably situated. She reared two nieces, Cora and Lavinia SEMAN, who continue to make their home with her. Mrs. HUNTER was born at Xenia, this state, September 2, 1832, a daugher of Lewis and Lavinia (SMITH) SEAMAN, the former of whom was born in Frederick Co, Virginia, in 1805, son of Jonas and Catherine (SHEETS) SEAMAN, natives of that same Co, who came to Ohio with their family in 1810 and located at Chillicothe, a year later moving to Clinton Co, where they spent the remainder of their lives, Jonas SEAMAN dying there in 1836. Jonas SEAMAN and wife were the parents of eight children, Jonathan, Philip, George, Lewis, Jonah, Eliza, Joseph and Miles. Lewis SEAMAN became a blacksmith and left Clinton Co to locate at Xenia, where he remained engaged in that vocation until 1836, when he bought a farm in Logan Co, established his home there and spent the remainder of his life. He was an active worker in the Mt. Tabor Methodist Episcopal church and helped build two churches. he and his wife, Lavinia SMITH, were the parents of six children, those besides Mrs. HUNTER being as follow: Josiah, who died at the age of four years; William, who for some time farmed in Illinois, but later returned to the old home place in Logan Co, where he died, leaving a widow, Frances BEBEE, and one child, a daughter, Josephine; Elisha, a veteran of the Civil War, who served as a member of Company A, Sixty-sixth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, formerly and for years a farmer and now living at Columbus, this state, who had been twice married, his first wife, Nettie VOTAW, a native of Indiana, having died on February 7, 1881, leaving three daughters, Nettie, Cora and Lavinia, after which he married Nellie FISHER, also of Indiana, and by that union has three children, Anna, Bertha, and Lewis; Maria Louise, who married James STANTON and is now deceased, and Martha, who married William WINDER and died in 1894 at Urbana, this Co, leaving one daughter Florence.
