Hi Mari,
Thanks for your email of 7/6/03.
Before I answer your questions, I have a favor to ask. Please change my
"Page Name" from "CONSULT'S PAGE to "CLC'S PAGE" or
"CHAR'S PAGE". Don't want
anyone to assume I do genealogy consulting.
Info I emailed 7/4/03 came from documentation and written "remembers"
compiled by great-grandparents, grandparents, and an aunt (all deceased) and
research
I have done (still in progress) to verify info & find missing
documentation.
Will start with 1st name (Samuel Sellers) in my 7/4/03 email & work Thru
email providing info on documentation. Will answer your questions as I
proceed.

Thanks

IMPORTANT NOTE: Appears there were 2
Samuel Sellers in AL in 1800s.

DC dau
in internet info. Alice was penciled entry in my info & hard to

not know where born. Thanks for help & will pursue.

As per my last email, I would like to get rid of the "CONSULT" in my
page
name. If you need to give me a name that references back to my email
address,
the last 3 letters in the address name are "CLC".
"CLC" or "CHAR" would be
fine. I don't want any one to think I do genealogy consulting, so pleases
get rid
of "CONSULT" if possible. Thanks.
I don't have a copy of the 1860 Wilcox Co AL Census
showing the Calvin Cook
Sellers family. I do have a reference to - Eastern Division Page
1111. The
reference comes from an aunt (deceased) who did a lot of research on the
Sellers
family and was very exacting. I am 99.9% sure it is correct. Will
look into
1830/40 Census.
Suggest name be changed from "Sellers Family" to "Sellers
Maze" - just
kidding - I think!
