[The1840 census record was the earliest indication of a "Seaman" living in Fire Place, Town of Brookhaven--that of the Abraham Seaman family.
U.S. census records from 1790 forward were examined, including the indexes for the Town of Brookhaven, and the detailed enumeration records of the area between Bellport and Mastic, and no "Seamans", or possible alternate spellings of the name, were found, either in the indexes, or the examined detailed pages. (While the enumeration pages did not themselves define the area, the examined pages were selected based on names of families known to have been residents of the area.)
Although some local history commentators have indicated that the Seaman family first settled in Fire Place as early as 1779, I think it safely can be concluded that there were no Seamans residing in Fire Place as their primary place of abode until sometime between 1830 and 1840. If this building dates to 1779, it likely was not originally built by a Seaman.]
