Josiah Root Sr. emigrated from England on the Hercules in 1634. He lived in the Boston area, first in Salem. His wife Susanna was one of the women of Salem accused of witchcraft.

Along with the text are epitaphs and photographs of tombstones. There are indexes of people and places. The book is bound in soft-cover and is printed on acid-free paper. This genealogy contains five generations of the Seabrook family and their children in the sixth. Female lines are followed. The book is 256 + xii pages long and there are several portraits and 8 photographs of tombstones in full color.
