The question is of very limited relevance. It was fairly common for early Americans to attend a seminary, as it was, basically, a business school. It did not hold the meaning it does today, which is a school for religious vocational training.
From the 1828 Webster's dictionary--- seminary:
5. A place of education; any school, academy, college or univerlity, in which young persons are instructed in the several branches of learning which may qualify them for future employments. [This is the only signification of the word in the United States, at least as far as my knowledge
