   Hello All,

I'm new to the Sellers list so I thought I would share my line as well as
see if anyone can help me with a few questions. I have a lot of information
but I have a lot of questions too. I hope in the spirit of sharing and
reciprocation that any of you who might be connected to ANY of these lines
will help me fill in the blanks, correct erroneous information and ADD to
the lines. My specific interest is of course the direct lineage denoted by
the asterix. Generations are separated by dashed line.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My maternal great granbdmother was Emma Belle Sellers. She married my great
granfather William Thomas O'Neal in Alabama. I don't have the date but it
could have been in Bullock Co. or Montgomery Co. Her birth info is below.
She died Oct. 28 1965 in Montgomery, AL at the age of 95.

*Emma Belle's parents were *Nathaniel E. Sellers and *Isabelle Smilie,
married Nov. 4, 1849 in AL. Nathaniel was born in 1825-6 in possibly Pike
Co. AL, death date unknown. Isabelle was born in 1830, died possibly around
1875-6. Nathaniel was in the Civil War and both show up in the 1850 and
1880 censuses in Alabama. Thier children were:

William Christopher Sellers  b. ?, d. ?
m. Susan Amanda Frizzell (she was related to my Frizzell line)

Sophronia Edwards Sellers b. 1863 AL, d. ?
m. Frank McMillan

Mary (infant died)

Stephen Anthony Pilley Sellers b. Jan 20, 1868 AL, d. ?
m.Eufala Ledbetter

Mary Sellers (Stephen's twin)  b. Jan 20, 1868 AL, d. ?
m. Andrew Jackson Noblin (I have their 7 children and dates)

*Emma Belle Sellers b. Aug. 28, 1870 AL
m. William Thomas O'Neal

Jane Sellers b. ?, d. ?
m. Jackson O'Neill (he was related to my O'Neal/O'Neill line)

Henry Sellers b. ?, d. ?
m. an Evans

Mattie Sellers b. ?, d. ?
m. ?

Alexander Sellers b. ?, d. ?
m. ?

Jacob Sellers  b. ?, d. ?
m. ?

If anyone has ANY information on the above family(s) I would be very
greatful for it.

After Isabelle Sellers passed away, Nathaniel married Samantha Shrimpshire.
They had two children, Louverna b. 1876 and Lambeth b. 1877.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nathaniel's parents were *William Sellers and *Eleandor Edwards (hence
Sophronia Edwards Sellers middle name above). William was born 1791 in
Wilmington Dist., Brunwick Co. NC.and died between 1858 and 1860 in Geneva,
Coffee Co. AL. We do not know Eleander's birth date but she died in 1837 in
Pike Co. AL. So far we do not have a census or any other document
connecting Nathaniel as a son to these people except that they did have a
known son, Dr. Anthony Hamilton Sellers (below) who mentions his brother,
Nathaniel, in a biographical sketch. William and Eleander had 14 children
and after she died William went on to remarry Evaline Gilstrap and had 5
more. (I never wondered what these people did without TV! ha)

William and Eleander's children were: (if I don't have stats on them I will
leave it blank):

Allen Sellers m. Louise ? (faught in Indian Wars 1835-6)
Abegail Sellers m. John Simmons
Annie Sellers m. Glenn Tucker
Martha Sellers m. a Sellers (went to Texas with "Lizzie")
Mahalia Adeline Sellers m. George Metts
Elizabeth Sellers (went to Texas with Martha)
Philip W. Sellers b. 1815, m. Lydia Eddina
Calvin King Sellers b. Nov 20, 1823, m. Elizabeth Talbot - son Angus
Sellers
Dr. Anthony Hamilton Sellers b. Aug. 30, 1823 m. (1) Sophronia Hooten in
1860  and (she) died 1868 - three Mary Sellers m. Benjamin Warner, William
W. Sellers ans Lillie Sellers; m. (2) Louisa Eiland (Wilson) (she) died
1869? and had two children: Esther and Anthony Rush Sellers. The death
dates between these two women are suspect and need to be confirmed.
*Nathaniel Edwards Sellers (see above)
Joseph William Sellers b. April 16, 1827
Christopher W. Sellers b. 1825 m. Martha Ozier   (moved to Texas)
1 more son
1 more daughter

William and Evaline Gilstrap's children were:

Martin Hamilton Sellers b. Sept. 26, 1845 AL m. (1) Fannie Kennedy - had
six children: Lucy, Laura, William Morgan, Madge, Cora and Martin Hamilton
Jr.
Missourie Angeline Sellers b. 1846 Allen McCall
Margaret Matilda Sellers b. Feb 21, 1851 m. Joe Marshall
Malinda Caroline Sellers b. 1848 m. Sam Beck
Thomas Franklin Sellers b. May 1, 1849 m. (1) Fannie Miller - 5 children:
Evaline, Will, Annie, Pennie and Arnold. m. (2) Ella Simmons - 3 children:
Julian, Bernice and Robert.

Evaline also had three children by her previous marriage (I don't have
their names)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
William's (m. to Eleander) father was *Mathew Sellers b. 1768 in NC and
died Nov 12, 1849 in AL. He was found in the 1840 Pike Co AL census. Mathew
was JP of Brunswick Co. NC and served as a juror. He immegrated to Pike Co.
AL in 1825-26 right around the time of Nathaniel's birth date. Mathew is
buried in Catalpa. DAR #430-728 and #495-454. He was married three times
and only his third wife's names is known. He had no children by his second
wife.

Mathew's children by his *first wife were:

*William Sellers m. Eleander Sellers (see above)
2 sons

Mathew married (3)Jane Ward in 1803 AL. She was born in 1783 in Brunswick
Co. NC and died Jan 18, 1848. Mathew's children by his third wife, Jane
Ward, were:

John Sellers
Julius Sellers
Benjamin Sellers
Thomas Sellers
Joseph Sellers
Rufus Daniel Sellers b. April 8, 1823 in Brunswick Co., NC and died April
28, 1869 in Cottonwood, AL.
Wright Sellers
Sarah Sellers m. William Truxton Oats and had son Gen. William Calvin
Oates, a General in the Spanish-American War and Governor of AL.
Rebeccas Sellers
Elizabeth Sellers
Emmie Jane Sellers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mathew Sellers parents were *Elisha Sellers and *Sarah ?. Elisha was born
c. 1744 in VA or NC and died Dec. 1801 in NC with a will dated 1801 in
Brunswick C. He was a Rev. War soldier, military pay voucher #4669 and DAR
#430-728. Elisha and (1)Sarah married c. 1765. Sarah was born in NC and
died in 1781 in Brunswick Co. NC. Their children were:

*Mathew Sellers (see above)
William Calvin Sellers I b. c. 1760 died in NC and faught in the Rev.
Thomas Sellers
Mary Sellers m. a Singletary
Sarah W. Sellers m. a Clelland
Ann Peoples Sellers m. a Mints (could Peoples be her mother's maiden name?)

Elisha's second wife's name is unknown. Their children were:
John Bryant Sellers
Michael Sellers

Elisha's third wife was Mary Willis (Willets?). Their children were:
Willets Sellers b. 1784, m. Sarah Thompson in May 1808 in Brunswick Co. NC.
- son Willets Daniel Sellers b. Oct 27, 1807, m. Sarah Stranaland? b. Dec.
30, 1811.
Benjamin Sellers b. 1786
Samuel Sellers b. April 17, 1788 NC, m. July 31,1806 NC Sarah Stranaland b.
Aug 4 1786. She and Samuel had 15 children. These were apparently two
separate Sarah's from the same family or there is an error in one of their
names.
Nancy Sellers
Marsha Sellers m. John Perkins

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, for those who have not seen it, the above mentioned book is 441
pages of nothing but Sellers lineages. Each person is given a short
autobiographical sketch ranging from a couple of paragraphs to several
pages. It lists an extensive reference source list to search for more
Sellers information.

The only problem that I found (at least concerning my line) was that there
are many "interviews" with elderly relations about certain individuals.
That is fine as one technique for information gathering and is very
important, indeed, but can be flawed by the human condition. These authers
often just leave it at that and do no further research to "prove" what they
heard from these people, especially if they are not of their direct
lineage. This was the case on my more recent Sellers generations in the
book. They interviewed my then 90 year old great grandmother Emma and
relied on her memory as well as her sister and a few others. In the case of
my great great grandfather only one "printed" source was mentioned which I
have yet to find (another book). No wills, deeds, statistical records at
all. I'm sure, however, that when you get closer to the main line that is
researched in this book you will find more source documentation.

This book IS worth looking at,however. In fact, (I hesitate only because I
am in the throws of some large project deadlines for my business) I will be
glad to do some "look ups" since the list of individuals covered in this
book is extensive (the name index alone is 40 pages long). But please have
patience if I'm not super quick.

Sincerely, Cynthia SIMS Kirkland

   Since the subject of Texas Sellers has come up, I thought I would see if
anyone might know what happened to a few Sellers in my line that went to
Texas.

William Sellers who married Eeandor Edwards in 1812 in Brunswick Co., NC
had several children. Three of these children (possibly more) moved to
Texas.

Daughter, Martha Sellers married another Sellers and lived in Texas. I do
not know if she married him before or after going to Texas.

Her sister, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Sellers, it is said, went with her. I don't
have any information as to whether she married or not.

Annie and Lizzie had a brother, Christopher W. Sellers, who also moved to
Texas. Christopher married Martha Ozier (I do not know what state they
married in). Christopher also fought in the Civil War.

Does anyone know anything about these three sisters and brother, all
children of William Sellers and Eeandor Edwards.

Merry Christmas,

Cynthia Sims Kirkland

P. S.

Just for the record, the other children of William Sellers and Eeandor
Edwards are:

Allen Sellers b. abt. 1817 m. Louise
Abegail Sellers m. John Simmons
Annie Sellers m. Glenn Tucker
Mahalia Adeline Sellers m. George Metts
Philip W. Sellers b. 1815 m. Lydia Eddina
Calvin King Sellers b. 11-20-1818 in Darlington Dist. SC, m. Elizabeth
Talbot
Dr. Anthony Hamilton Sellers b. 8-30-1823, m. Sophronia Hooten and Louise
Eiland Wilson
Nathaniel Edward Sellers b. 1825, m. Isabelle Smilie and Samantha
Shrimpshire
Joseph William Sellers b. 4-16-1827

William Sellers second wife was Eveline Gilstrap and had 5 more children.

(don't see MATTHEW SELLERS as another Bondsman?
(JOHN J. GAUSE is witness for Mathew SELLERS/Mary BOAZMAN marriage in
Brunswick Co,Nc in 1811
(THERE may be others
PERHAPS GAUSE family should be studied more here

AND WHERE did Your MATHEW SELLERS GO=

COULD USE A TIME TABLE on Your Family =
WHERE IN certain YEARS = Dates/Names/Places = counties/states/
(use births, kids marriages, deaths , war records, etc)

    Dear Marie,

Thank you very much for sending this info. It actually provided some info
that I did not have. I did not have these marriage dates or the names of
Isabelle Smilie's parents. Below are a few notes to you to let you know
who some of these people are. My comments are inclosed in <  >. I hope I was
able to help you sort out who these people are.

This Allen Sellers was born about 1817 and was the son of William Sellers
and Eleandor Edwards. William was the eldest son of Mathew Sellers first
wife (name unk.) and was b. 1791 NC and d. 1858-60 AL. They were married
7-28-1812 in Brunswick Co. NC. Allen was one of 11-13 children. Some of
his siblings were Dr. Anthony Hamilton Sellers, Calvin King Sellers and
Nathaniel Edward Sellers, among others.

Does anyone have information on Eleandor Edwards line?

Thanks, Cynthai Sims Kirkland

Here is what I have in response to your trying to identify Mathew's
children. My ancestor William was Mathew's eldest son by his first wife.
My William, 1791 and 1858-60, must be the male born between 1784-1794.

My gg grandparents were Nathaiel Edward Sellers and Isabelle Smilie.

Nathaniel's parents were WILLIAM SELLERS and Eleandor Edwards (hence their
daughter's, Sophronia Edwards Sellers, middle name above). William was
born
1791 in Wilmington Dist., Brunwick Co. NC.and died between 1858 and 1860
in
Geneva,
Coffee Co. AL.

William's father was MATHEW SELLERS b. 1768 in NC and died Nov 12, 1849 in
AL. He was found in the 1840 Pike Co AL census. Mathew was JP of Brunswick
Co. NC and served as a juror. He immegrated to Pike Co. AL in 1825-26
right
around the time of Nathaniel's birth date. Mathew is buried in Catalpa.
DAR
#430-728 and #495-454. He was married three times and only his third
wife's
names is known. He had no children by his second wife.

Sincerely, Cynthia SIMS Kirkland

I have heard his last wife was probably a WILLETS = son Willets born ca
1783
And I have heard one of his? or his dad ?Benjamin wives was thought to be
a Bryant
=son John Bryant ca1790/3?
But this is more likely Marys child?

NO ONE has sent ANY proof on this info!
Also, Elishas sister = Mary Penelope SELLERS
Maybe Someone will share their Proof or Ideas. marie, iowa

It's interesting that you should find the "American Indian" translation
of this name (Mahala). My gggg grandmother was Tempy ELLIS (b. c. 1785) who
married Thomas FRIZZELL (b. c. 1774 NC) and lived in Pike Co. AL
(connects to my SELLERS line). Tempy was famous for being kidnapped in a Creek
Indian
raid in about 1790 in Greene Co. GA. All were killed except for her (aged
7) and two other children who were also taken. She was kept as a slave in
the Creek village of Auttosa in the Greene Co. GA area. She wasn't
rescued and returned to white society until she was nearly 14 years old. She and
her husband Thomas were early settlers of Pike Co. AL. The point of this
story is that she named the daughter from whom I descend, Mary Mahala.
Some of her Indian experiance must have stuck with her. I think this story
just confirms that Mahala, as an Indian name, reflects some of the
"multi-cultural" heritage that we have all inherited.

Sincerely, Cindy Kirkland

SHERRY - I am NOT interrupting - CONTINUE  ON THIS SUBJECT=
BUT, I need =

Dear SELLERS Researchers,

I hope that some of you can take the time to browse down this list. Perhaps

Dear Rhonda,

I'm not researching Zellers I have a Zellers marriage in my Wright line.

[Susan S. WRIGHT m. John ZELLERS   resided in Auburn, Lee Co. AL 4-9-1889

Susan is the daughter of:

Samuel WRIGHT and Elizabeth WILMOT(H). Samuel was born 7-21-1797 GA and
died 5-25-187? AL. He married Elizabeth WILMOT(H) 4-11-1818 in GA. I don't
know when they moved to AL. I only say they were married in GA because
census says their eldest daughter, Sarah was born in GA.

and sister of my ancestor:

[Sarah WRIGHT b. 5-6-1819 GA    d. 4-8-1908 AL
m. in AL Charles Moses VINSON b. 2-23-1813 GA    d. 2-7-1895 AL

Sincerely, Cindy Kirkland

Dear searchers of this line - Elisha Sellers/(1)Sarah Jane Peoples,

First Question:

I believe I've transcribed some dates wrong. Could someone please correct
them for me? I have conflicting dates for Sarah Jane (Peoples) Sellers
marriage to Elisha and the birth date of thier eldest son, William Calvin
Sellers. I have her marriage to Elisha five years after the birth of
William. Which is correct? Does someone actually have this marriage record?
Thanks for your help, in advance.

Elisha Sellers  b. ©1744 VA/NC - d. 12-1801 Brunswick Co.NC where will is
probated in 1801 - Rev. millitary pay voucher #4669      DAR #430728

m. in ©1765 NC (1) Sarah Jane Peoples b. - d.1781 Brunswick Co. NC
(info that Sarah was his first wife is still being confirmed)

1.[William Calvin Sellers I  b. ©1760 NC             fought in Rev.
         m.    ?
                [William Calvin Sellers II
2.[Mathew Sellers            b. 1768 NC - d. 1849

Second Question:

Also, while I'm on the subject of Sarah Jane Peoples - Sarah was introduced
to the list, by someone in the last year or so, as Elisha's previously
unknown first wife. I've been trying to find that original conversation in
my saved email files but cannot. I may be wrong, but I don't recall any
source material given with this information and would ask that someone,
preferrably the submitter, to remind us where this information was found.
The only thing I recall that supports that Sarah was, in fact, Elisha's
first wife, was that their youngest daughter, Ann (Sellers) Mints', middle
name was Peoples. I'd like to be able to prove Sarah as Elisha's first
wife, since I am descended from their second eldest son, Mathew Sellers.

Just a refresher note: 6 children were born to Elisha and Sarah Peoples. So
far we do not know the name of Elisha's second wife, a marriage that had no
issue and his third wife was Mary Willis(Willets) with no dates on Mary. I
have that 5 children were born to Elisha and Mary.

Hi everyone --
     Thanks Cynthia for your message. To answer your questions, there is
absolutely no proof of Elisha's first wife being a Sarah Jane Peoples. This
is not to say that such a statement has to be false, but it has about the
same status as "my unknown, undocumented ancestor had red hair, blue eyes
and
a quirky laugh" -- i.e., it is completely unverifiable one way or the other
based on currently known original data.
     All that we can say for sure right now about Elisha's marriages is
that
he was married more than once, and that his last wife was Mary Willets,
whom
he must have married approximately 1780, based on what we know of their
uncontested children. To say anything else concerning any other wife or
wives
is pure speculation and nothing more.
     For more information on him and the issues surrounding his life and
family, see my page:

CYNTHIA/CINDY, I hope this helps. WE do NOT all have to see the same to be able to
share. I have no problem with above.  I would like to have more documentation on
MATHEW SELLERS 1760/70-1849 and his kids. Maybe we will continue to add info.

IF you want to send a question, etc thro the board, feel free to do so. We need
Anyone's ideas, whether we agree or not.
THANKS, marie, iowa

Dear Group,

I've looked, sorted and waded through the data on the SELLERS pages.

Which Benjamin Sellers is this, that had a father Mathew, please? Is this
the Benjamin who was father of Elisha born 1744?

FEB 1740 Edgecombe Co, NC = Benjamin SELLERS
of Edgecombe Co, sells 50 acres of land in Bertie Co that
my father Mathew SELLERS bought of Benjamin FOREMAN,
where my mother now lives.

Benjamin SELLERS sells 50 acres of land on south side of
Meherin River and KIRBY creek that my father Matthew SELLERS
bought from Benj FOREMAN. Samuel MIRRET was witness,
(so must have lived close,msh)

Thanks Cindy

Hi Cynthia --

Yes, that's the one. It's Matthew (d.1740) > Benjamin (d.1761, Edgecombe Co.,
NC) > Elisha (d. 1801, Brunswick Co., NC).

To those following SELLERS that went to Texas,

Several of the siblings on my SELLERS line went to Texas.

William Calvin Sellers b. NC 1791 and his wife Eleander Edwards b. NC
who settled in Pike Co. AL had 12 children. Of these children, Martha
Mariah Sellers who married Thomas M. Sellers in 1865 in Pike Co. AL
and her sister, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Sellers went to Texas. Their
brother Christopher W. Sellers b. 1835 who married Martha Ozier also
went to Texas. I do not know if "Lizzie" ever married and Christopher
had, at least 1 son and 1 daughter (I do not know their names).

Nathaniel Edwards Sellers b. 1826 (also a son of W. C. and Eleander
EDwards Sellers and brother of Martha, Lizzie and Christopher) and
Isabell Smilie had a son, Henry Franklin Sellers b. 1855, married
Jessie Lou Evans, went to Victoria Co. Texas. Their children were
Ethel May, b.1890; Gilbert, b. 1892; Newton, b. 1894; Milton, b.
1896; and Perl, b. 1899. I do not know who they married.
