I just joined the Sellers mailing list yesterday.  My grandfather was
Wilber
Amos.  His mother was Mary Jane Sellers and her father was Peter.
This is an article from the History of Wood County.  I have pictures of
several of their graves.  I thought this would be of benefit to you.

If you have any information from Peter on up, it would be apprecitated as
Peter is the earliest Sellers I have as I have not researched this family
extensively.

Thanks
