This is the home of the sister of Calvin Cook Sellers. (1811 msh)
C.C.'s house no longer is standing.
Harriett was the daughter of Samuel and Alice Cook Sellers, both born 1788, per tombstones. Harriett's portrait is still hanging in Liberty Hall. I don't have a picture of Harriett. I can get one next time I'm in Wilcox but don't have a clue presently when that will be.

I noticed in the marriage records in Barefield's book, page 28, that "David Rodgers and
Sarah Pridgeon,8/2/1838" the secutiries on the bond were David Rodgers
[the prospective groom] and one Jacob Rodgers. I don't believe the name
"Jacob" appears in any of the notes I have, so maybe your suspicion that
David who married Pridgeon is not Burwell's son is correct.
Also: Jacob Rodgers appears as a security on the marriage bond of
Alexander M. Autry and Sarah Jane Rodgers 7/5/1840 (Barefield, page 40).
It seems likely that both Sarah Jane and David Rodgers were related to
Jacob Rodgers rather than Burwell Rogers. What do you think?Hugh Rodgers
ANSWER:
I think Hugh's David Rogers, who married Nancy Hartley in 1819, Putnam
Co, GA may have been Burwell's son...not the one who married Sarah Pridgeon
(b. 1814), and stayed in Wilcox Co, AL. I was always suspicious of the
younger David because he would have been only 18 years old when Burwell's estate
was being settled... a little too young in my opinion.
Hugh's David lived in Butler County at the time.Nancy

SAMUEL SELLERS 1788NC to AL -SON CALVIN COOK
From: PGreatho01@aol.com
CALVIN COOK SELLERS
Calvin Cook Sellers was born in Chesterfield, District, SC , in 1811. He
migrated with his father, Samuel Sellers, to AL about 1828 and settle in
Wilcox Co., AL.
In 1836 Calvin Cook Sellers married Eliza A. Howell in Wilcox Co., AL.
The children were
SAMUEL,(April 7, 1843-August, 1885), married Leecie Ann Johnson;
CALVIN COOK, JR.; DANIEL; SYD; DAVE, who went to TX; ELLA; ROSE and LUCY
whose children were Willie and Ollie.
Calvin Cook Sellers began to study law and after hard dilligent work, he
was admitted to the Bar, where he reached a high rank. For several years he
held the position of
Circuit Clerk in Wilcox Co. In 1844 he was elected to the AL state
Senate from Wilcox and Marengo Counties, and in 1849 he was nominated and ran for
Congress from Mobile. While serving in the State Legislature, he was
prompt, intelligent and shared in the debates with credit to himself. Socially,
he was pleasant and affable. In the Legislature he made a good reputation
as a legislator, and evidenced considerable knowledge of government. Mr.
Sellers was the Democratic Party nominee for Congress in the Mobile District in
the campaign of 1849; and, after an animated contest, was defeated by Judge
Alston of Marengo, the Whig nominee. This ended his public life, and in a few
years thereafter he died.
Mr. Sellers was tall, prob., not less than six feet, four inches, and had
rather a majestic appearance. His voice was strong and under command, and
he spoke with ease to himself and pleasure to his listeners.
Calvin Cook Seller died in March, 1852 and he was buried on his
plantation, which was later owned by Bruce and Fred Henderson of Camden, AL.

Hi,
I have several letters written from Wilcox Co. in 1848-1849. They were
from and to my Abel E. EVANS family members. I want to ask more about them
and others later, but want to share some of the names mentioned in the
letters. These are usually only *mentioned* -- and usually in regard to a
wedding, illness and death, attendance at Dallas Female Academy and
occasionally litigation. Apparently all were then residents of Wilcox Co.
--
Camden, Prairie Bluff. The spellings (especially in letters of Thomas J.
EVANS) are rather inventive.
Marriages mentioned:
Frank Dulany & Miss Angelina Higginbothum
Dr. Matherson and Miss Sambrina (?) Matthews

Joe Cook & Rebecca White

If these families are of interest, and you want the little speck of
information, let me know. Also have three letters (1848-49) from Sally
Teresa HARRIS of Gosport, Clarke Co, AL, if you have those connections.
I would be greatly interested on any information on the following families
of mine who lived in Wilcox Co. -- mostly in 1830s-1850s: EVANS, SCOTT,
RATCLIFF(E).

Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, October 29, 1908
Negro Woman Killed
And Two Men Seriously Wounded by Joe West, Colored.
On Last Saturday, about 3 o'clock, on returning from Camden to their home at Possum Bend, Joe West, a negro, who had been drinking and who was considerably wrought up on account of his wife leaving him, concluded to settle his family troubles with a 44 Smith and Wesson, and shot his sister-in-law, Hattie Baldwin, killing her instantly. His intention was to kill his wife, but she escaped with a few blows on her head with the pistol after it was emptied. In the shooting Sam Peyton and another negro man were both badly wounded. The
murderer was captured by the negroes of the neighborhood; who were preparing to lynch him but were prevented by the arrival of the officers who brought him to
jail.
Joe West comes from bad negro stock. He is a son of Sylvester West who was connected with the murder of Mike Sellers several years ago, but escaped by
turning states evidence. He afterwards was sent to the penitentiary for life for the murder of a negro by the name of Jim Bridges, and was killed by the prison guards in an attempt to escape.

I noticed in the marriage records in Barefield's book, page 28, that
"David Rodgers and
Sarah Pridgeon,8/2/1838" the secutiries on the bond were David
Rodgers
[the prospective groom] and one Jacob Rodgers. I don't believe the
name
"Jacob" appears in any of the notes I have, so maybe your suspicion
that
David who married Pridgeon is not Burwell's son is correct.
Also: Jacob Rodgers appears as a security on the marriage bond of
Alexander M. Autry and Sarah Jane Rodgers 7/5/1840 (Barefield, page 40).
It seems likely that both Sarah Jane and David Rodgers were related to
Jacob Rodgers rather than Burwell Rogers. What do you think?Hugh Rodgers
ANSWER:
I think Hugh's David Rogers, who married Nancy Hartley in 1819, Putnam
Co, GA may have been Burwell's son...not the one who married Sarah Pridgeon
(b. 1814), and stayed in Wilcox Co, AL. I was always suspicious of the
younger David because he would have been only 18 years old when Burwell's
estate
was being settled... a little too young in my opinion.
Hugh's David lived in Butler County at the time.Nancy
