I recently
asked someone to check on a Sellers marriage for me in Henry Co,
AL, and
that sent me a whole list of them. I'm posting them here, along
with
some
additional information. All of it is followed with a question
that
proposes something of a long
shot. Please hang on until the end.

Thomas M
(12) Jones, Frances
Oct 28, 1867
(1) Belinda
Sellers (whose name appears at times as Melinda in various
documents)
was the daughter of Benjamin B Sellers. Thomas Collins was her
first
husband. She would remarry in 1876 to Zachary Pridgeon, my
second
great
granduncle.
(2) Eliza (Jane) Sellers was
probably the daughter of Joseph W. Sellers.
(3) I'm not sure whose
daughter she was, but Elizabeth, like Belinda
Sellers, may have been
widowed during the war. In 1880, she appears in the
household
of Thomas M Sellers with two apparent sons, John and James.
(4) Lucinda
Sellers is probably the daughter of Joseph W. Sellers.
(5) The
Missouri Sellers who married Reuben Harrison could have been the
daughter of
either Samuel Wright Sellers or Thomas M Sellers.
(6) The
Missouri Sellers who married Leroy Olive was probably the
daughter
of Rufus Daniel Sellers.
Leroy Olive was a widower. His first wife was
Savannah Temperance Jones,
the niece, by marriage of Rufus Daniel and his
brother, Samuel, and my 2nd
great grandaunt.
(7) R(ufus) D(aniel) Sellers
took Venette Pritchett as his second wife. His
first was Amanda Caroline
Jones, the daughter of Elbert and Susannah Jones
of Walton
Co, FL. Susannah and her younger children are shown in the
household
in 1850. Rufus' brother, Samuel, married Amanda's sister,
Susannah
Temperance.
A third sister, Nancy, married my third great grandfather,
Bethel
Jones.
(8) Ashley B Sellers was of
the son of Rufus Daniel.
(9) Austin J Sellers was the
son of Benjamin B.
(10) B(enjamin?) F Sellers
may have been the son of Thomas M. or Samuel
Wright
Sellers.
(11) Calten Sellers was the
son of Benjamin B.
(12) Thomas M. Sellers - as
Marie informed me recently, the Thomas of Henry
Co was probably the Thomas M
of the 1850 Pike Co census where he was shown
with wife Maria (Moriah Jane
Sellers, his thrid cousin according to other
researchers) and children
Frances, Richard, and Missouri.
In the 1860 census of Henry
Co, Thomas is shown with an apparent wife,
Eliza, his children J.
R(ichard?) E., Missouri, and B.F. Moriah Sellers
must
have died,
possibly giving birth to her last child, the B. F. of the 1860
census.
(Confusingly, two children of the same names and ages are shown
on
the previous page with a
Samuel Sellers, age 66 - Samuel Wright, I assume.)
Also in the
house of Thomas Sellers are three children by the names of
Amanda,
Leonidas, and Nancy J. Cohron.
I'm certain the Eliza here
is my GG-grandmother, Eliza Cohron. The widow of
William Leonidas
Cohron, she appeared in the 1850 census of Chambers Co,
AL,
having come
there from Troup Co, GA after 1840.
I don't know what became of
Eliza after 1860. According to one family Bible
record, she lived until
1903. Assuming she and Thomas M were married (and
I've found
no record thus far), they must have divorced before Thomas'
third
marriage in
1867 to Frances Jones. On the other hand, if she lived that
long, what
did become of her?
Someone has suggested to me
that Eliza was not Thomas' wife, but his
sister,
and that I
should be looking for a Cohron-Sellers marriage in Georgia. I
haven't
found such as yet.
However, I did find a Hiram
Sellers listed in the 1830 census of Troup
Co,
GA, where Eliza was living
with her husband and first child in 1840.
So, finally to get to the
point, does anyone know anything of this Hiram
Sellers. I've not a chance
to take a look at that 1830 census to see if he
was married with a daughter
born about 1820 - Eliza's approximate birth
year.
Any clue
would be welcome.
Thanks,
Ron
