Representative Thomas Hart Seymour

Thomas Hart Seymour (born September 29, 1807) was a Democratic politician who represented Connecticut in the United States House of Representatives during the mid-nineteenth century. Serving as a member of the U.S. Congress from Connecticut’s 1st Congressional District, he held office as a Representative for a single term. His tenure in the House began on December 4, 1843, and concluded on March 3, 1845.

During this period, Seymour served as a Democratic member of the national legislature at a time when Connecticut’s political landscape was evolving within the broader currents of antebellum American politics. Although specific committee assignments or legislative initiatives are not recorded in the available metadata, his service from 1843 to 1845 places him among the historical members of Congress who represented Connecticut in the years preceding the sectional crises that would later dominate national affairs. Seymour’s congressional career, as documented, is defined by this one term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
