John Gifford's attorney, mentioned in his dealings v. Webb in
Parliament, was the singularly-named Dutton Seaman. Apparently he was
the one baptised 25 Nov. 1627 at St. Mary Aldermary, son of Thomas
Seaman. The following records apply to this family group:

St Mary Aldermary, London

Marriages:

--John Disney to Jenn Downes, 31 Dec. 1623
--Thomas Seaman to Jenne Disne, 21 Feb. 1625

Baptisms:
--Jenne Disney, daughter of John, bapt. 1 Jan. 1625
--Elizabeth Seaman, daughter of Thomas, bapt. 29 Dec. 1626
--Dutton Seaman, son of Thomas, bapt. 25 Nov. 1627
--Nicholas Seaman, son of Thomas, bapt. 15 Jan. 1630

Thus it seems Jenn Downes had two husbands, John Disney and Thomas
Seaman. The snippet-view of the St. Mary Aldermary parish register on
Google gives further information:

"Dec. 31 John Disney vnto Jenn Downes, by lisence"
"Jan. 1 Jenne, d. of John Disney, taylor, dwelling in Bowe lanne"
"Dec. 29 Elizabeth, d. of Thomas Seaman, aturnye in Bowe lane"

This Thomas Seaman, attorney, of Bow Lane, is mentioned in _Notes &
Queries_ as having (apparently) a "Cheshire connexion."

Given that John Gifford the father was a partner in the royal Ironworks
with Gen. Edward Massey, a Cheshire man, one wonders whether the
Giffords themselves may have had "Cheshire connexions" ...

from _House of Commons Journal_ Volume 10 (4 November 1689):

Privilege Persons petition for Discharge.

A Petition of Dutton Seaman, Wm. Allen and James Witham, was read;
setting forth, That the Petitioner Allen having an Interest by an Under
Lease, at the Rent of Thirty Pounds per Annum, holden from the Lessee
of the Earl of Warwick and Holland, of certain Ground in Cloth Fair,
upon which the Petitioner had laid out above Three hundred Pounds in
building; and there being a Passage through an Alehouse, Part of the
Premises, which is since converted in . . Warehouses; the Petitioner
was advised, the Passage through his own House might be stopt; did
accordingly stop up both his Doors: Whereupon one Samuel Ford, a
Coffeeman, being employed as a Bailiff to the Earl of Warwick, coming
to the Premises, and breaking open the Doors and taking away the Bolts
and Locks, the Petitioner Allen employed the Petitioner Dutton Seaman
to be his Attorney, to bring an Action of Trespass against Ford, and
one Newstead a Smith, that helped to break open the said Doors: Which
coming to be tried in Trinity Term last, by a Defect of a View by the
Jury not seeing both the Entries, a Verdict passed for both the
Defendants: That the Petitioner moved the Court of King's Bench, on
Wednesday last, for a new Tryal; which was not granted, but he was left
to the Liberty of a New Action: And that he then employed the said Mr.
Seaman to take out a new Writ against Ford and Newstead; and the
Petitioner Witham arrested them Yesterday; but discharged them again in
a few hours, without Bail: That the Petitioner Seaman is ready to
depose, on Oath, That he knew not, that the said Ford or Newstead were
protected by Mr. Montague, a Member of this House; nor ever heard they
were his Servants, or that he hath any Right in the Premises, but as
Guardian to the Earl of Warwick: And the Petitioners being not
withstanding taken into Custody for a Breach of Privilege, and they
submitted themselves to the House; and prayed to be discharged out of
Custody, or to be heard to the Matter aforesaid.
