Notes for Conrad Sellers, CSA:

It is my belief that COONRAD/COONROD SELLE
RS was actually named after his Grandfather, FRANCIS CONRAD SELLERS.


Coonrad Sellers listed in Haywood County, NC, 1840 census had the following
household group:

1 Male between 20 & 30 (1 male born between 1809 - 1819 = Conrad)
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.
1 Female between 20 & 30 (1 female born between 1809 - 1819 = Artemissia)

was he on the 1870 and 1880 census?

Notes for Henry Rhodarmer:

EXTRACTED FROM OLD BUNCOMBE COUNTY HERITAGE - NORTH CAROLINA VO. ii, Article 486, p. 311


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 Mary
ann 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 Mary
ann 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 Mary
ann 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 Vian
ann
(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 Mary
ann (1822-1900) are buried at Morning Star Church
Cemetery, Canton, North Carolina.
