The page is legible and gives the entry for Joel Seymour, baptized 5 July 1772 and died 30 Jan. 1841, matching the name and the 1772–1841 span in the claim. As a compiled secondary source it supports the name but is not original evidence.
Matches: Entry 118 is headed "Joel⁶ Seymour (William⁵, John⁴, John³, John², Richard¹)", which gives the name Joel Seymour; Baptized at New Hartford, Conn., 5 July 1772, which fits the 1772 start of the claimed lifespan; Died at Stillwater, N.Y., 30 Jan. 1841, which fits the 1841 end of the claimed lifespan
Limits: This is a compiled published genealogy, not an original record; The book gives a baptism date, not a birth date, so 1772 is only approximate for birth; The page does not cite the underlying sources for the name or dates
