Seth inherited land in Middleboro, Mass., from his mother, and in 1764 sold it with his brother, Samuel Waterman, Jr. On 29 May 1765, Samuel Waterman of Halifax conveyed (his wife Mary also signing) to Seth Waterman of Halifax, 21 acres, part of his homestead in Halifax; the deed was not recorded until 24 Mar. 1784, over a year after Samuel sold the remainder of his homestead and removed to Mansfield. Seth Waterman was "of Lime in the County of Grafton and State of Newhampsh ire Yeoman," 12 :Mar. 1787, when he bought from Samuel Waterman of Wellfleet [his brother]. [Deeds, Plymouth County, 59-220; 62-165; 67-24.]
Seth Waterman of Halifax, yeoman, sold to Samuel Waterman of Halifax [his father], 29 May 1765 and 26 Sept. 1767, and to Samuel Stafford Sturtevant of Halifax, 6 June 1781, his wife Hannah signing all three deeds with him.

This deed was not recorded until 24 May 1783, and seems to include what his brother conveyed to him in 1787, as mentioned above; perhaps the 1787 deed was merely a confirmation, to clear the title.
