During early married life Calvin King Sellers lived near Pine Level in
Montgomery Co., AL.  In 1857 Calvin King moved his family to Monroe Co.,
AL,
settling near what was known as River Ridge.  Two years later he moved his
family to Butler Co. and located near Van Pelt, where he lived for ten
years.
 The family did not remain in the same house during this period, but it
did
remain in the general vicinity of Van Pelt.  During most of this  time the
Ebenezer Church was where the family worshipped.  Calvin King Sellers was
the
Sunday School Superindent of the Ebenezer Church for several years.
Calvin
King and his boys would walk to church each Sunday--this was a distance of
5
miles each way--a total of 10 miles to walk to church and back home each
Sunday.

 In the fall of 1869 Calvin King Sellers moved to the western end of
Butler
Co., AL, and settled on Long Creek near Bear's Store.  Here Calvin King
Sellers lived the rest of his life and farmed the land until he died on
June
23, 1886, and was buried in the Providence Church Cemetery on Long Creek
near
Bear's store.

The wife of Calvin King Sellers, Elizabeth Talbot, was a cute, short
little
old lady who lived with her son, George Monroe, and his family after her
husband died.  She loved to work in the flower garden.  One time some of
the
family told her to stop doing so much work as someone might think the
preacher ( her son, George Monroe )  was making his mother work.
Elizabeth
Talbot Sellers died in Bainbridge, GA on March 6, 1908 and is buried
there.
