Hello,
I just joined the Sellers group a few minutes ago, as I've just received information in the mail, today, that I believe, I descend from a James Sellers, and his wife Charity!

This info came from a Bible, that belonged to a John M.?? Pearson The date on the Bible, is 1822.

Some of the info in the Bible, lists the children of a James Sellers, and his wife Charity, and the children that are listed are as follows:

Sarah born Dec. 12, 1782
Eunice, born, March 1, 1784
Micah, born, Jan. 12, 1786
Mary, b. looks to be, July 21, 1787

I believe I descend from the Eunice, who married a Pearson.

My GGGrandmother was a Clarissa Pearson, and she is also listed in this Bible, and she married a William Ward, and their son, James Micah Newton Ward, is also listed in it!

The other Pearson children listed are:
Solomon b. 1803
Selathe E. b. 1808, she married a Samuel Burdette
Clarissa Pearson, b. 1807 married William Ward
James Sellers b. 1810
Thomas b. 1812
Sarah, b. 1814

It is believed, my Clarissa Pearson, may have been born in Burke Co. N.C.

Any and all information would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you, Becky Carden, rec@hiwaay.net

Hello Marie,
I saw a message you posted on the Sellers email group at rootsweb, and you mentioned a Eunice Person or Pearson.

Do you know the name of the Pearson man, she married.

I believe I descend from her!

I received in the mail today, information from a family Bible, that belonged to a John Pearson, dated 1822, and it states that Eunice, was a Sellers, and her parents were a James and Charity Sellers.

I have that Eunice Sellers Pearson/Person, was born in 1784.

My GGGrandmother was a Clarissa Pearson, married to a William Ward, and I have info, that states her mother was a Uney, but believe this to be a nickname for Eunice.

I believe, Eunice had a brother by the name of Micah, and Clarissa Pearson, named one of her sons, James Micah Newton Pearson.

On Clarissa's tombstone, it states she was born in Burke Co. N.C.

Any help you might be able to give me, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Becky Carden, rec@hiwaay.net

MARCH 2006

Edgar,
I'll have to get my info out, to see who all of their children were.

I descend from their daughter, Eunice Sellers, who married a Charles Pearson.

The left Burke Co. N.C., and went to Fayette Co. Ga., and a terrible tragedy happened to Charles.

Their daughter, Clarrisa Pearson, married a William Ward, and Eunice, and Clarissa, and William, ended up in Randolph Co. Al.

Clarissa had a sister named Seletha? or something like that, and she married a Burdette, and they were also were in Fayette Co. Ga., and they ended up in Chambers Co. Al., which adjoins Randolph.

I also descend from the Burdette's, in Chambers Co. Al.

I'll have to see who the other children were, as its been awhile, since I looked at this group.

Lynda,
I'm talking about the James Sellers that was married to a Charity, and I believe were in Burke Co. N.C.

I think he's the one they say is the son of the Robert Sellers.

His daughter, Eunice that I descend from was born in in 1784.

I'm trying to find out all the names of their children, especially if they had a son named Sampson.

The Sampson was suppose to have been born about 1799.

Someone listed that the children for James and Chairty were:

1. Cain
2. Isaih
3. Eunice, mine
4. Mary
5. John
6. Micah
7. Sampson C.
8. William
9 James

I also have that they had a daughter Sarah, but she was not listed on here.

The name Newton seems to be very prominient in this family.

I looked and my Clarissa Pearson Ward, daughter of Eunice Sellers, and Charles Pearson, named one of her sons, James Micah Newton Ward!

BECKY, thanks for sharing. We have talked before.
HELP me on some questions here =

THE BIBLE = no info after 1787? Wonder why?
Someone died and someOne else continued later?
LAST record =

HOW did this BIBLE descend = Who had and went to who and who has now = Names and dates.= What is ALL info inside bible cover etc. Can you take a photo = use a camera up close and send to me and will share with our SELLERS members for ideas. I sometimes practice with a digital camera under bright lite and see what I have. Save and enlarge on photo program. OR perhaps someone has better experience?

IF someone sends you info on a child = SAMPSON = send cc to SELLERS. He is listed as an heir on Cain SELLERS will and quite possibly brother, just NOT proven in stone as the other kids are, which equals the kids you list below

IF someone sends you info on a child SARAH , send info to our SELLERS, several are working on these kids and can maybe help. These people/members can help clear up errors and keep them from spreading?

I don't show her, maybe died before Cain's will, etc.And perhaps, more info we don't have. Please send.

ON his (JAMES SELLERS) 1790 census he would HAVE 3 daus and one son per Bible info. Which census is he on?

1790 BURKE CO, NC= looks good
JAMES SELLERS -1 male over 16 = bef 1774 (died 1820 and some family to Roane, etc Co., Tn?, msh)
1male under 16 = 1774/1790
4 females (wife and 3 females before 1790, msh)
==
Which is one more female than we/I have AND not in Cain's will. Did she die OR marry and die before his will in 1826?

Others have worked on this family also and probably have more posted than I do. But, this is where you must start and continue on.

1800 = daughters may Not all be home? =
Micah Sellers 1786 should be?

Which one are we?
JAMES SELLARS, page 0794
Males 0- 9 - 2
Males 10-15 - 1 (is this Micah 1786?)
Males 26-44 - 1
Females 0- 9 - 4
Females 10-15 - 2
Females 26-44 - 1

JAMES SELLARS, page 0791
Males 0- 9 - 4
Males 10-15 - 2
Males 16-25 - 1 (this doesn't appear to be Micah 1786 , if same as 1790? Msh_ males 26-44 - 1
Females 10-15 - 2
Females 16-25 - 1
Females 26-44 - 1

What are we/me missing?
Ideas welcomed.

I started this a few days ago and just now sending!

Thanks, best wishes, marie, iowa
