1 Male between 10 - 15 (1 male born between 1824 - 1829 = ???)
1 Male under 5 years old (1 male born between 1834 - 1839 = ???) This is
probably A.Sellers.

was he on the 1870 and 1880 census?

Children of Elizabeth Sellers and Henry Rhodarmer are:
20 i. Noah4 Rhodarmer, born April 25, 1817 in Haywood County, North
Carolina; died November 04, 1887 in Haywood County, North Carolina. He
married Maryann Henson December 29, 1840 in Haywood County, North Carolina;
orn January 01, 1822 in Haywood County, North Carolina; died September 17, 1900
in Haywood County, North Carolina.
Notes for Noah Rhodarmer:
NOAH RHODARMER, by Hazel Lee (Gossett) Wright, Sanford Webster Brown, and Mary Martha (Nieblas) Brown
Noah Rhodarmer was the oldest son of Henry (1797-1836) and Elizabeth
(1796-1865) Rhodarmer. It is thought that Elizabeth was a Sellers. On
December 29, 1840, Noah married Maryann Henson. When Noah and Maryann
married, Noah started making entries in his family Bible.
There are many variations of the family name. It is thought that since, at
one time, the name had been Anglicized to Redsleeves that this was a good
indication the family's occupation in the "Old" country was meat cutter
or
butcher. Another thought is that this family is connected to the meat
packing family of Armour.
Noah had two known siblings: Phillip (1821-1876) who married Malinda
Christopher; and John (1826-1859) who married Rebecca Zilla Kinsland.
According to the 1830 Census, Noah also probably had two sisters. Records
have been found regarding the marriage of Mary Radornel to Joshua Kinsland
and of Susanah Rhodearmel to George Moore. So far we have not been able to
connect these lines. In 1849 Noah acted as bondsman for Jane Moore and
Joseph Christopher.
Noah and Maryann had: Margiman Henry (1842-1865); John Griffin (1843-1865);
William Kimzy (1845-1925) who married 1st Manerva Smathers, 2nd Elmira
Catherine Bonham; Phillip Jasper (1847-1848); Harry Labury (1849-1873);
Harriet Elizabeth (1841-1923) who married William P. Abbott; Mary Vianann
(1853-1908) who married Merit Jasper Smathers; Nancy Adeline (1855-1857);
Jethro Baxter (1860-1927) who married Amanda Cook; and an unnamed son
(1862-1863).
A great-grandson of Noah's is Air Force Major General Roger Kim Rhodarmer.
A
great-great-grandson is popular Asheville radio personality, Scotty
Rhodarmer.
Noah (1817-1887) and Maryann (1822-1900) are buried at Morning Star Church
Cemetery, Canton, North Carolina.

County, North Carolina, and died September 17, 1900 in Haywood County, North
Carolina.
Notes for Noah Rhodarmer:
NOAH RHODARMER, by Hazel Lee (Gossett) Wright, Sanford Webster Brown, and Mary
Martha (Nieblas) Brown
Noah Rhodarmer was the oldest son of Henry (1797-1836) and Elizabeth (1796-1865) Rhodarmer. It is thought that Elizabeth was a Sellers. On December 29, 1840, Noah married Maryann Henson. When Noah and Maryann married, Noah started making entries in his family Bible.
There are many variations of the family name. It is thought that since, at one time, the name had been Anglicized to Redsleeves that this was a good indication the family's occupation in the "Old" country was meat cutter or butcher. Another thought is that this family is connected to the meat packing family of Armour.
Noah had two known siblings: Phillip (1821-1876) who married Malinda Christopher; and John (1826-1859) who married Rebecca Zilla Kinsland. According to the 1830 Census, Noah also probably had two sisters. Records have been found regarding the marriage of Mary Radornel to Joshua Kinsland and of Susanah Rhodearmel to George Moore. So far we have not been able to connect these lines. In 1849 Noah acted as bondsman for Jane Moore and Joseph Christopher.
Noah and Maryann had: Margiman Henry (1842-1865); John Griffin (1843-1865); William Kimzy (1845-1925) who married 1st Manerva Smathers, 2nd Elmira Catherine Bonham; Phillip Jasper (1847-1848); Harry Labury (1849-1873); Harriet Elizabeth (1841-1923) who married William P. Abbott; Mary Vianann (1853-1908) who married Merit Jasper Smathers; Nancy Adeline (1855-1857); Jethro Baxter (1860-1927) who married Amanda Cook; and an unnamed son (1862-1863).
A great-grandson of Noah's is Air Force Major General Roger Kim Rhodarmer. A great-great-grandson is popular Asheville radio personality, Scotty Rhodarmer.
Noah (1817-1887) and Maryann (1822-1900) are buried at Morning Star Church Cemetery, Canton, North Carolina.

Found in Ed Sellers papers when he died: "John Henry Sellers was born May
12, 1848. He married Elizbeth Bentley and they had 10 children. Their oldest
child was a son named Conrad Mitchell Sellers. There were 5 other sons and 4
daughters.
Records indicate that John Henry Sellers enlisted as a private late in the war.
He joined Company B of the 11th regiment in the spring of 1864, at the age of
16. Enlistment was for one (1) year, and he was still active when the war ended
in 1865. The 11th regiment blended with the 47th and 5th regiments late in the
war. Some reports indicate that he was present with a brother who died in a
war hospital near Cassitville.
Following the end of the war, John Henry Sellers returned to the Surrency, GA.
area.
His wife received $60.00 per year pension pay for Confederate Soldiers until
her death in 1926", per Deb Sannutti. ****ANOTHER SPECIAL NOTE****: None
of her Ancestors have ordered her Pension Record. Another question I have, is
how did she receive a pension when she died before John Henry did?

Dear Great Grandfather:
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

Martha Ann King Kent, a descendant of James Leonard Sellers told me this story,
March 1, 2000:
"James Leonard Sellers died a young man. He was on a wagon and a bridge
fell in. He jumped into the water to save the horses and wagon, took pneumonia
and died shortly thereafter. His wife had to petition the court for her minor
children as their guardian. She was also raising her granddaughter, Lillie Funk
when she died. Lillie's mother had died and her father decided to take Lillie
away with him. She didn't know him and wanted my grandfather to take her away.
He and his sister, Nancy Jenia, left the area and went to Arkansas. He lived
there several years and got a letter from a cousin in Haywood County, so they
moved to Cruso, North Carolina, where he met and married my grandmother. He
remained there until he died. Lillie met grandmother's brother, Lonnie Cogburn
and they married... So, Lillie is both a cousin and an Aunt. She is still living
at age 105 years old. She can't see or hear, but otherwise in good health, a
real cutie."

Dear Bro.
I am writing to let you know we are all well, & hope you all the same. May
was down here about 3 week ago and carrid us down to see Mary She had been very
bad off with Rheumatism but was some better then.
You remember we was talking about tracing our kin back to Revoultionary War when you was over here the last time So Ola & any of the rest of our girls could join the D. A. R. Society, and since then Ola wrote to the Media Research Bureau. at Washington City & got the history of the Prince and Sellers which Says Capt. Asa Prince of Mass. & Capt Sylvanus of Va. and Frank Prince and Liutenent Thomas Prince of S. C. fought in the war. And it says the given names of their Sons was John Richard Thomas Isaac Joseph, Job, Nathen, Benjamin, Samual, James and Robert, & evidently Frank or Thomas was our great Grand Father and which ever it he was, James (Grand Pa) and Uncle Joseph Prince
It does not Name the Girls names. Now do you supose their is any record at Pendleton of the wills of these Men naming their Children or where their wills was probated. Grand Pas toomb Stone at Hazel Church Says Grand Pa was born 1781 and died Nov 1863 and was 82 years old and Grand Ma born 1789 and died Nov 12, 187(illigible). The war ended in 1781 So I figure Frank or Thomas was our Great Grand Father. Let me know what you think about it.
The Sellers history Says Names of the officers who was in the war was Lutenant John Sellers of Pa. The given names of the Sellers families was Samuel Thomas Adam John Paul Philip Hans Henry Peter and Jacob So I figure that Lt. John Sellers was our Great Grand Father and that his son John was our Grand Father and that Uncle John Sellers Uncle Coona & Pa and Uncle Uncle Jake & Ephriam was Grand Pas Sons and Aunts ------------ Christopher and ------------ Dave Sharp and Aunt Sarah Sellers was the Girls There was Several amigrants came from England but they was (illegible) English but 2 Germans & thir Familys came and landed at Philadelphia and one went to Mayorland and one went up the State the State of Pa and Settled in 1737 at a place called Francona Pa his name Phillip Henry Sellers. and he was the Father of 11 children Linwood, Phillip Henry, John, Paul, Peter, Jacob Elisabeth Margarett & Mary So John must have been the one who Served as Lutenant in the War and the Father of Grand Pa Sellers and Says one Sellers Marred a Christopher and a Schnider (Snider) There seems to be Several ways of spelling the names but have been boild down to Sellars and Sellers.
Now all the rest of the Familys but this one Settled in other States, the
one that come with our Great Grand Father left Pa & went to Mayorland when
you answer this give me our Aunts given names Aunt Christopher & Sharp you
need not write so much as I have but say what you think

Article from Spartanburg Journal
dated June 15th 1911
DEAD BODY THAT OF JOHN SELLERS
Identification Established by Clothes He Wore
That the mangled body of a dead man found on the tracks of the southern Railway near King's Mountain last Sunday morning was that of John Sellars of this city has been defininately established. The body will be brought to Spartanburg for burial. I dentification was established when the clothes were sent to Mrs. Sellars of this city who stated that they were those of her son.
Sellers disappeared from his home at Woffard Street last Saturday morning. When his mother read in Monday's Journal that the dead body of an unknown white man had been found on the railroad track near King's Mountain her fears were aroused, believing that it might be that of her son, for she had heard nothing from him since he went away from home without telling her good bye. As the days went by and no messages came from her son, she became more aprehensive and yesterday she sought the aid of the Journal in a effort to obtain information concerning the whereabouts of her son.
The publication in Wednesday's Journal that Mrs. Sellers believed that the body of the unknown dead man who was killed by a Southern Train was that of her son, caused Policeman Deason, a brother in law of Sellers, to go to King's Mountain and make an investigation. The identity of the body was established. When Mr. Deason was satisfied that the body was that of John Sellers, arrangements were made to bring the remains to Spartanburg for interment.
John Sellars, was a painter and blacksmith. For several months he had been painting for H. M. Gaines, but on Saturday, arranged to go to work in a blacksmith shop on Broad Street on Monday morning. *

My mom, Woodie Vinell Ward Berry was the daughter of Bury/Buray Walton Ward

times when I'm at Damascus Baptist Cemetery in Banks County. Who is Mahala (sp?)
Brown buried next to them with the same type headstone? I'll have to get with
you on the details of our relationship. I did meet your cousin in banking -(?)-
Cheek while at another nearby cemetery in 2000. I'd told him I'd seen this msg.
but hadn't responded since I ha no details at work with me; the same goes for

In Reply to: Sellers Brothers / Habersham Co. by Cecelia Sellers Koon of 1345
Hi Cecelia,
The information that I have states that Jeremiah (Jerry) Sellers married Adella J. Grant on May 29, 1892 in Habersham Co., GA. I list children as: George Weldon, Paul Grant, Albert, Sarah Lela, and Alley Sellers, but I don't have 1900/1910 census for this family group to verify the children's names.
Your Jeremiah / Jerry was on the 1870 census in Habersham Co., GA with his Grandmother, Mary (Mears) Prince, widowed mother, Sarah Sellers (viz Prince), and sister, Malinda:
1870 Habersham Co, GA P# 186B Household / Dwelling # 1087 / 1017:
Prince, Mary, 80, female, b. VA
Sellers, Sarah, 37, b GA
" Malinda, 11, b GA
" Jeremiah, 9, b GA
Jeremiah was the son of Ephraim and Sarah E. (Prince) Sellers. Ephraim was b. @ 1833, the son of John and Sarah (Christopher )Sellers. This family was from the Haywood County, NC area. Sarah E. Prince was born on March 8, 1831, the daughter of James and Mary (Mears) Prince.
The 1860 census for Habersham shows Ephraim, Sarah and Malinda, but Jeremiah had not yet been born:
1860 Habersham Co., GA Household / Dwelling # 942 / 942:
Cillars, Ephraim, 27, male, farmer, b NC
" Sarah E., 27, female, b GA
" Malinda, 1, female, b GA
(One of the creative ways for census enumerators to spell Sellers!)
This is not my direct line, but you and I are double cousins. My GGG Grandfather was your Ephraim's brother, Conrad Sellers who married Sarah E. Princes' sister, Artemesia "Arte" Prince! There was, also, a third Sellers / Prince marriage for Ephraim and Conrad's brother, John Sellers married Sarah and Artemesia's sister, Jane Prince.

Notes for Lorena Scoggins:
NOTE FROM AUSBURN RESEARCHER:
"I heard from my sister, Louise, (in Mississippi - about Lorena Sellers.
Here is what she sent me:
As a child, when I visited (with Grandma Annie Bee Watson they lived near Grady School and we went to Church at Damascus Baptist Church on Sunday. Granny always wore a long black dress and a black hat to Church and to me, she always looked nice. She was slim and tall, even a little taller than Grandpa. Mrs. Lorene Sellars was my Sunday School Teacher there, and her husband's name was Ike. I remember the first time I went there to Church. When Granny told her who I was, "Miss Lorene" grabbed me and hugged me real hard. She said: "You're just like your Mama Hattie Louisa". "Miss Lorene" was a big woman, with a ruddy complexion and light red hair. She and Mr. Ike lived near the Church and her Daddy lived with them, though I don't remember his name. Their little boy, Boyd, had drowned in a wash pot in their yard when he was small. I think he would have been a little older than me, had he lived.
This is what I have from the graves at Damascus:
Isaac H. Sellers b/1878 d/1970
Lorena Sellers b/1878 d/1963
Boyd Sellers b/9-24-1911 d/10-25-1918."

Notes for Jeremiah "Jerry" M. Sellers:
E-Mail from Teresa Hagwood, September 23, 2001:
I never met my grandparents on either side of my parent's family? My maternal
grandfather, Jerimiah M. Sellers, died in Georgia. After Pearlie V. Hayes Sellers
(his wife who was apparently 17 years his junior) died, he took their sons and
moved to Georgia. He left the daughters (including my mother who was the oldest
girl) in Mississippi. Mother was 12 years old. I think Jerimiah was short but
had talent with mechanics.

OBITUARY OF STYLES SELLERS
Leonard Styles Sellers, 77, of 4 Judson St., Judson, died Tuesday at 9:05 A.M. in a Greenville hospital after being in declining health for some time.
A son of the late EPHRAM and MARTHA JANE NORTON SELLERS, he was born August 12, 1881 at COMMERCE, GA. In 1923 (WRONG, HE MOVED FROM COMMERCE, GEORGIA IN THE YEAR 1922) he moved to the Brushy Creek section of Anderson County and lived there until three years ago when he came to Greenville. Mr. Sellers was a retired farmer and cattleman.
He was a member of Siloam Baptist Church of Anderson County.
His wife, the late Mrs. Annie Ausburn Sellers, died October 22, 1952.
Surviving are 2 daughters, Mrs. Edith Rumage of Tulsa, Okla., and Mrs. Jeanette Gambrell of Piedmont; 4 sons, J. Doyle Sellers and Jewel L. Sellers of Greenville, Howard T. Sellers of Anderson and Pfc. Edward R. Sellers of Panama; 2 sisters, Mrs. Fannie Jewell of Nicholson, Ga., and Mrs. Onnie Arnold of Winterville, Ga.; 4 brothers, Bratcher Sellers of Greensboro, Ga., J. B. Sellers of Greenville, B. C.

This is what we heard about Granny and Papa moving to Anderson County, South
Carolina from Banks County, Georgia. Lewis James, son of Martin James of Powdersville,
Anderson County, S. C., tells this tale. "One day Mr. Martin James found
a lad wearing coveralls and was barefoot walking along the road. He picked the
man up and took him to his house and told his wife to fix this lad something
to eat. Then he put this man to work on his farm." This man was my grandfather,
Leonard Styles Sellers. Papa, as we called him, then sent for his family and
they rode the train to South Carolina. They lived in Banks County, Georgia,
and most of their children were born in Georgia, except Aunt Jeanette, who was
born in Anderson County, SC. My father told that one of the Ausburn men helped
Granny and Papa move. They put all their belongings in a wagon pulled by horses,
and started their journey from Georgia. It is unclear to me if any of the other
Ausburn families were already in South Carolina or if Granny and Papa were the
first of our family to move from Banks County, Georgia to Anderson County, South
Carolina. It probably took them a few days with a horse and wagon. By this time
they were in Powdersville, South Carolina, in the Brushy Creek Section of Anderson
County on the farm of Martin James. They lived in the Brushy Creek Section of
Anderson County in Powdersville until their deaths. Papa also had a syrup mill,
a lumber yard, horses and mules, pigs and hogs, chickens and roosters, and a
cow for milk, and a fishing pole to catch all that good fish, and would do anything
to make a living for his family.

My grand-mother was a hard working woman. Her hair was down to her waist and
I used to watch her brush it out every night and every morning she would put
it up into a ball on her head. The house they lived in was only a 3 or 4 room
house and I would sleep on the couch. She got up early every morning to cook
breakfast. I had never heard of fish, chicken or pork chops for breakfast, but
what ever Poppa had killed, she would cook for them. They had pigs, chickens,
cows and horses to plow the field. They did not own their land, but lived on
Martin James' land in Powdersville, S. C. Poppa would work for Mr. James to
pay for their rent. She would go to the hen house and get their eggs for breakfast,
milk the cow, and feed the chickens. That was the best milk in the whole wide
world, unless the cow got into bitter weeds in the pasture. She also churned
to make her buttermilk and butter. After she finished the breakfast, we would
eat and she would clean up the kitchen and the house. She did not have running
water. They had a well and she had to draw water every day to cook with and
for them to take a bath in the old tin tub. They did not have any grass in their
yard. It was all dirt. She would go and hunt up long sticks and bind them together
with a string to make her a brush broom to sweep the yard. She had to make a
new brush broom every day as the sticks would break and she would have to discard
it. They had an "Outhouse" for their bath room. When Granny died I
was about 12 years old. We went to their house the day they buried Granny and
my Ausburn and my Sellers cousins from Georgia and South Carolina were there.
I loved all my cousins that I knew.

Notes for George Weldon Sellers:
"Life Along The Middle Broad River", by Patti Evans-Shumate and Rebecca
Bruce:
GEORGE SELLARS HOME
The George Sellars house was northwest of the Toccoa Pumping Station and West along the Guard Camp Road. A branch of the Middle Fork of the Broad River is southwest of the place, and there are ornamental plantings of crepe myrtle trees and an unusual Balm of Gilead tree, which was frequently used for medicinal purposes.
Today the site is covered in briars, daffodils, and buttercups and sits on a terrace above the branch. Beulah Brown Sellars lived in this house with her husband, George. In an interview in 1987, Mrs. Sellars spoke of her home place which was known as "The Old Tabor Place". She moved in after her marriage in 1918. She remembered three rooms and a kitchen, two rock fireplaces, and a large porch. She could also remember the well which was located under a wood shelter in the back yard. She spoke of a big barn and a smoke house, and talked of raising corn, cotton, and vegetables. She could also remember their renters (The Rays) living in a house northwest of this one. Mrs. Sellars went to Ayersville School and Mt. Pleasant Church while living in the area. At the time of government acquisition, this property was a part of Camp Toccoa.
One of the most beautiful waterfalls in the WMA is near this homesite - "TABOR
FALLS". END QUOTE

-----
Why does obituary above (of Henry Grady Phillips) list daughter Marie's married
name as Marshall instead of Morrison?? I think this is probably just a mistake
and not indicative of a second marriage.
-----
My mother remembers that while her father insisted that his year of birth was
1900, her mother said he was mistaken and it was actually 1898. Birth certificates
were not issued by the state of South Carolina until about 1910. He was listed
as being a couple of years old on the 1900 census, though the year of birth
appears to have been scribbled over. What year was he born??....<b.c.>
-------
My mother's memories of her father, Henry Grady Phillips:
She fondly remembers taking walks with him, and he would point out the naturally growing plants and flowers in the area. He loved to read. He was not a hunter, and although it must have been hard to feed a family during the great depression, she remembers that he would take care of abandoned animals until he could find a home for them<b.c.>

By Charmaine Smith
Independent-Mail
GREENVILLE- The South Carolina Highway Patrol has charged a 30-year old Honea Path man with felony driving under the influence of alcohol after an Anderson man was struck by a truck and killed Monday afternoon.
Raymond Phillips, 66, of River Street was cutting grass with a weed-whacker on U.S. 25 just south of U. S. 76 when he was struck by a 1985 Chevrolet pickup truck that veered off the road, said South Carolina Highway Patrol spokeman Lance Cpl. Dan Marsceau.
Mr Phillips died at the scene around 5:35 p.m. from massive multiple trauma, said Greenville County Deputy Coroner Ken Coppins. the driver of the truck, who officials said was not wearing a seat belt, was transported to the Anderson Area Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries.
Roger Keith Bennett, 30, of 33 Murmur Road, Honea Path, has been charged in the incident, Mr Marsceau said.
He added that alcohol appears to have been the only cause of the accident.
Mr. Bennett awaits a bond hearing and is being held in the Greenville County Jail.

Notes for Leonard Bert Ausburn:
Dad told me a tale about Uncle Leonard Bert Ausburn. He said that when he was
a young boy, his Uncle Bert Ausburn, whose wife was Venia, bought a T-Model
Ford. He was with some of the Ausburn kids playing in the woods at his grandfather's
(Joseph B. Ausburn) place, and they hid up next to the old road (which is now
closed and was named Joe Ausburn Road), when they heard their car coming down
the road. Daddy said that Uncle Bert was not going but about 10 miles an hour
on the old rickety dirt road, and he was coming up on a curve and Daddy heard
him say to Aunt Venia "Watch me make that damn curve, Venia". My Daddy
still tells this tale to this day and laughs about it. He thought that was the
funniest thing Uncle Bert ever said. I have a picture of Uncle Bert and Aunt
Venia when they were young with a baby that died in infancy.

Frank was the older of two sons in this family and was a WW I soldier. He was sent overseas. His wife was the daughter of an Atlantic Coast Line Railroad employee who went to work there during a strike. This was considered being a scab. He worked successfully and eventually retired from the ACL. This would be of no consequence had his brother, Charles, not married the daughter of a man who was out on strike and lost his job to the scabs. The sisters-in-law were not very close because of the feelings of the latter about this. Also, it was said that Frank objected to his younger brother's marriage, feeling he was too young to marry at the time.
Frank lived for many years in Toledo, Ohio where their children were born.
He moved to Arlington, VA where he worked for the federal government in a skilled
trade for several years. In about 1948 or so,
the family moved to Jacksonville, Florida where Frank worked at the Naval Air
Station. Their son Charles went to Jacksonville with the family and graduated
from High School there at about 21 yrs. Marian, their daughter, lived with her
grandparents, Rigdon, and attended high school in Waycross, as she was a
better scholar. Charles went to work at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville
and eventually retired from there. Marian attended nursing school in Charleston,
S.C. at Roper Hospital. She married a navy pilot and eventually settled in Texas.
The Register name for this branch ended when Charles Lee married and had no sons. He had two daughters. Frank's brother Charles had only one daughter. Frank died of old age and basal cell carcinoma of the face (forehead). He died while living at a nursing home in Texas near their daughter's home. His wife survived him and moved back to Jacksonville close to their son Charles Lee. She died in Jacksonville. Their daughter related to me their marked preferance for their son. He was allowed to learn to drive and had other advantages. Frank tried to keep his daughter from being emancipated and tried to even keep her from learning to drive. She was able to become independent only after leaving home. Their son was called by his name and the girl was called Sis.
Frank may have been a difficult husband. His wife was ever dutiful and waited
upon him at all times. She never learned to drive and seemed to be completely
subservient to him when we visited in the home.
