Horatio Seymour (May 31, 1778 – November 21, 1857) was a United States Senator from Vermont. He was the uncle of Origen S. Seymour and the great-uncle of Origen's son Edward W. Seymour.
Horatio Seymour's brother Henry became a resident of Utica, New York and was the father of Horatio Seymour, who served as Governor of New York, and Julia Catherine Seymour, the wife of Senator Roscoe Conkling.
Seymour was born in Litchfield, Connecticut on May 31, 1778, the son of Mary (Molly) Marsh Seymour and Major Moses Seymour, a veteran of the American Revolution, the longtime Litchfield town clerk, and a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives. Horatio Seymour attended the local schools, and was tutored by his brother in law, the Reverend Truman Marsh. Seymour graduated from Yale College in 1797 and received his master of arts degree from Yale in 1799. He taught school in Cheshire, Connecticut, and studied at the Litchfield Law School. Seymour then moved to Middlebury, Vermont, completed his legal training in the office of Daniel Chipman, and was admitted to the bar in 1800.
Seymour established a successful law practice in Middlebury. He also trained several prospective attorneys in his office, including Edward John Phelps, John C. Churchill, and John Wolcott Stewart. He was active in the Episcopal Church, and the management of the Addison County Grammar School and Middlebury College.
