My Sellers line goes back to a Abraham Lenda (Jesse)
Sellers. They
eventually settled in the northeast corner of Georgia. My g-grandfather
was James Leonard Sellers. Does
anyone have info on this line?
AKENT - We could use the childrens names, who they
married and went!
Is this Habersham Co, GA? We have some census info
and links back to
Haywood Co, NC to Conrad Sellers born 1760.
Do you know where he came
from?
Seems the history on Abraham listed some of the children to Rockingham Co,
VA.
Where the name of Conrad SELLERS was common . Many church
records, but
haven't really proved one his age.- born 1760-
We need more work on Abraham Sellers and who he is - have you traced
him
in NC?
Appreciate any info you can send us on James
Leonard SELLERS family and
any documents you have found on the older
lines. Thanks, marie, iowa
AKent - We could use a list of Henry SELLERS 1825 children or if you
don't have , a list of his son Benjamim Franklin SELLERS 1872 children,
who married and went where.
And we can link your name to the Habersham
Co., GA page and others can
locate you easier. Would appreciate you
sending us the info you have on
above.
AND if you have extracted the
census from Habersham Co, GA, we sure
could use them!
I can see this family in Rockingham Co, VA /marriages and son John
states
born 1785NC-
Where? and where is this family in 1790 to 1810?
Seems this
history should list some sources of proof ?
Have you found them? Thanks for
any help, marie, iowa

I've recently heard from a
cousin that our ancestor, Abraham Jesse/Lenda Sellers, born in Pennsylvania,
either he was the immigrant, or his father
was...but that the original
name was von Scheller of Germany.. and it was changed
to Sellers in America. Now, the question is,
has anyone on the list also
heard this? Also, could the name have
been also Zeller, Keller,
Ciller...etc? I'd be
interested in hearing some discussion along these lines.

K.
My experience has been that
if the name was originally 'Zeller' prior to becoming 'Sellers', then it
designated that the line was of German descent. That is the case for my line as my 6
Great Grandfather was Heinrich Zeller.
Born in Mottgers, Hesse, Germany in 1704, he and the family emigrated to
America in 1738 when they landed in Philadelphia.
My same experience has been
that if the name was Sellers when they arrived in America, then they were
usually of Anglican descent from England, Ireland, Scotland, etc., ie,
non-German.
I've seen the name
misspelled in various records as Siller, Sellar, Keller, Ciller, etc. Personally, I've never seen nor heard of
the name "von Scheller", but stranger things have happened
...

ANN, thanks for
sharing.
I would just ask cousin/etc
for their documentation = how proven, etc.
OR check out Von Scheller
family .
Was VON SCHELLER the
immigrant? what ship and when?
WE have ZELLER immigrants
proven to GERMANY and FRANCE by church records.
WE have immigrants on diff
ships from ENGLAND, etc =
SEVERAL SPELLINGS = check
the ship lists
AND we do NOT have all ship
lists.
NO place of birth
shown.
YOU need the church/etc
records to PROVE.
WE are MISSING these
documents.
KELLER was a spelling for
SELLER (K for S) and we don't have much info on = believe certain country
spelling used K or S?
SEVERAL changed names in US
(OR used name spelling here)
THE ship, census/tax/info takers Spelled
by their SOUNDS, SO you are following these Documents by way THEY spelled it NOT
our ORIGNAL families names.
Also SOLLAR/SELLER.
WE probably do need more
work on spellings,
BUT, where/when they came
from would help solve.
Thanks for sharing
ideas.
