Samuel Seabury (November 30, 1729 – February 25, 1796) was the first American Episcopal bishop, the Episcopal Church's second Presiding Bishop, and the first Bishop of Connecticut.
During the American Revolution, he was a prominent Loyalist in New York City and a renowned opponent of Alexander Hamilton.
In 1729, he was born in North Groton (later renamed Ledyard), Connecticut, in a home that is now a Historic Landmark on the corner of Church Hill Road and Spicer Hill Road in Ledyard, Connecticut.
Samuel Seabury (1706-1764), his father, was a Congregationalist clergyman in Groton before becoming a deacon and priest in the Church of England in 1730.
The Battle of Vicksburg was the most essential battle in implementing Scotts' war strategy because it was in this battle that his strategy worked in weakening the Confederate South.
