Marie,
I know it's been awhile since I last contacted you but, I haven't been very productive in my research.
 
Recently I received papers that show I have a cross over in my Sellers line and I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.
 
I am looking for information on HENRY L. SELLERS and SUSANNAH (HETTY) BRYANT. One of thier daughters Amanda Jane Sellers married Sampson Carter. It is my understanding that Henry and Sussannah came from North Carolina, (Do you have any idea where?) They had 6 children as shown below:
 
Tucanius
Henry
Roberet Melvin
DeWitt Clinton
Sussannah
Amanda Jane
 
This is probably not the order of birth. Amanda met and married Sampson sometime prior to 1860 in Georgia. Prior to 1850 Henry L. Sellers moved his family to Washington County, Florida. There are numerous documents verifying that they were in Washington County.
 
The cross over comes when a son of Sampson and Amanda Jane Carter marries Delilah Sellers my great aunt. As far as I know at this point Henry L. Sellers and my great aunt are not related. (Note: This Carter family also moved to Washington County, Florida around the same time the Sellers family did.)
 
Any suggestions/ comments would be appreciated. Hopefully I have made it a shade clearer that pure mud and you can make heads or tails out of it. I know I have seen the name Hetty/Hettie and Henry Sellers linked somewhere, just can't recall where.
 
I appreciate any time that you may give to this and I thank you in advance.
 
Sincerely,
Donald L. Sellers

I have this on them.

4. Jane b. 1842, m - -------- Cameron. Died 1882.

1827 Appling County, daughter of John Prescott of Appling. She died in
Clinch county about 1873. They had five children, viz:

Williams, for lot 198, in 4th district, and to Jane and James R. jointly,
lots 167 and 203 in tthe 4th district. These chilren were at the time very
small, and the deeds were probably intended to secure them by reason of his
intended second marriage.

Mr. Williams sold out in Hamilton Co. Fla., and moved to Clinch county, Ga.,
about 1867, where he acquired portions of lots 313 and 336 in the 12th
district and made his home there. His wife Elizabeth having died, he was
married July 20, 1875, to Elizabeth Johnson, daughter of William Johnson
