ZELLER FAMILY IN WASH CO, MD by DAVID LEE SELLERS
===============
There are two Jacob ZELLER buried in Zeller Family Cemetery,
address is
close to 13731 Greencastle Pike, Hagerstown, Washington Co., MD. the address
across the road is 13732 Greencastle Pike. These two Jacobs were
Father and
Son. Both are listed as Rev. Patriots... Not our JACOB Zeller
who is
another, who had a brother named JONAS and lived in the same area as the
other two Jacobs, so you actually have three, not counting the Jacob ZELLER
III son of Capt. Jacob ZELLER 1759-1833, Jacob the third is buried in Rose
Hill Cemetery, Hagerstown, Washington Co., MD., I was there in June of 1999.
The Jacob ZELLER Sr. buried in Zeller Family Cemetery was born in 1718/19 in
Ormanlingen, Switzerland. He died in 1794 in MD... He supplied
Grain to
the Government for their troops, therefore gaining the Rev. Patriot title,
in support for the War of the Revolution. Our Jacob ZELLER sold land
to my
GGG Grandfather his brother JONAS ZELLER 1769-1835 in 1794 for five pounds
in consideration of love for his brother... It has been said that
Jonas
lived just North of another ZELLER named Hartman who actually lived in
between the two brothers JACOB and JONAS... We had thought for years
that
Hartman was the father of the two, but the dates would not match very
well... So we are still in the dark as to the Father of our Jacob and
Jonas
ZELLER of Washington Co., MD. I have talked with Michael briefly about
his
Zellers', and I do believe his family does tie into the latter Zellers' to
arrive in America... I do certainly believe that all of them were
related
some way or another, but I haven't connected my lines over seas yet...
I
have connected through my Mother's side of the family a tie to the Zeller
Family who had the Fort Fame near Newmanstown, PA... So that Zeller
side is
complete for me, I'm happy with it, all for exception of the Lady Clothilde
deValois Sellaire... I haven't too much belief in all of that...
No record
has ever been brought forth proving her existance at all... Anyway
back to
the Washington County, MD. ZELLERS.... I believe there could be a
connection between my family and Michael's somewhere, but I haven't found it
yet... Hope I've helped a little, I can help further if anyone would
like
to discuss it... I do know that the Census listed under Steve Higley
at
SELLER site about the Washington Co., MD. ZELLERS is all messed up, they
have our Michael as Jacob's son not our Jonas, and some other mistakes too..
Our David Zeller is listed as of Jacob Zeller///....

DAVID, thank you for your time to explain. will also send a copy to
Steve,
so he can redo his census, if he hasn't already and send us a corrected
copy. sure he will appreciate also.
I am sure your info will help others working in this area.
NOW, are you telling me you
do or don't know Capt. Jacob ZELLER 1759-1833?
sorry about that question, but, I just have to see it a little plainer to
understand.

I seen the recent posting on the DNA testing... Is it actually $ 100.00 a test...? That is terrible.... I would be glad to do a test as a ZELLERS who's family lived originally in MD... But I don't think I would pay $ 100.00 for it... My GGG Uncle David used SELLERS as a last name in MD. sometimes.... He is buried under DAVID ZELLER. My GGG Grandfather JONAS used SELLER, ZELLER, ZELLERS, ZOELLERS and I have seen it used occasionally as ZELTER, ZALLER, most likely as mis spellings.. The reason for different spellings is because there was another ZELLER family living in the same area of MD. and the children had most of the same names as my GGG Grandfather's children... I believe them to be cousins, but haven't proved that yet...

DAVID, thank you for caring.
If anyone from your group does decide to do a dna, make sure they use our project page
showcase.netins.net/web/sellers2/sellers_dna.htm
yes, it is $100, but the regular price is much higher.
IF you ever connect them to another county before Washington Co., MD, please advise.
Best wishes, marie, iowa

Nope never could connect them
to anything further back or anywhere else other than Washington Co., MD...
My maternal sides which are Zellers too, were of the Ft. Zeller family near
Lebanon Co., PA... I found that my third great
grandfather was born in MD. but where I haven't even began to try and think
where... He is buried near Cearfoss, MD. somewhere, have not found his
burial either...

thanks for sharing, marie, iowa
Yes I have this family with
some of our Zellers married into the family of Jacob in Washington County,
MD. Found that he was in the US illegally, actually left Switzerland
without Government Consent.. Was registered as a Revolutionary Patriot,
as well as Captain Jacob Zeller 1758-1833, both graves lay in despoiled
condition in Zeller Family Cemetery near Hagerstown. I was there in 1999
but didn't get to gaion entry into the Cemetery.. I now have photos of
that area... Terrible condition. I have a daughter Cecelia Ann
Zeller of my GGG Uncle David Zeller (Seller) 1805-1888 married a Henry Samuel
Zeller who was a descendant of Jacob Zeller 1718-1794 mentioned above...
I believe them to be our cousins, but like I say I have no proof to
that.. I have a file on both Zeller families in that area at that
time... Steve Higley's rendition of the MD. Census at the Seller Group
Pages are all wrong.. They have my GGG Uncle Dave as son of Jacob
instead of Jonas... Michael Zeller is wrong... I can send you the
files if you like...

I have the land record
between JONAS and JACOB what I find interesting and
somewhat perplexing is the
day after the lands were purchased they were
mortgaged for over three
times its value... Not really sure
of the land
owner before Jacob
Zeller.... However you show me a
very nice clue in the
age of the owner prior and
date of 1732 / 34 could be suspected father of
JONAS' and JACOB, would be
the right birthdate allow a cousin
of mine has
est. it at about
1770... He is assuming he is
younger by the ages of his
children compared to Jonas'
children's birthdates.. I tried to
tell him
that doesn't always mean
anything... He could of been older
than Jonas, in
which I believe he was, only
because he purchased land first in Washington
Co., MD. Jacob also had land near Jonas, and
there was also a Hartman
Zeller who lived near
them. Unknown which
Hartman... There was one from
the Ft. Zeller family b.
1710 moved to Wash. Co., MD
Another cousin claims
that Hartman lived in
between Jonas and Jacob. I have
not found that yet.
I will share all I can..

I believe ALL spellings on
