My name is Don Sellers and I have recently started a search for my family
roots.  I currently have about 85% of the information back to my great
great grandfather Littleton Sellers born in the early 1800"s and married to
Nancy Proctor.  I believe that they were married in lower Alabama or North
Flordia (Holmes or Washington counties).  I am attempting to piece the rest
of it together.

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

I will gladly furnish all of my information that I have.

Thanks Don

Marie,
The John Sellers/Sarah Ann Kelly above are my g-grandparents. Marriage has
been proven. My problem lies in the fact that I cannot identify who John's
parents
were. I have gone through almost every available (to me) census in and
around Decatur County, Ga. To date I have not been able to look at a 1880 or 1890
census to see where John and Sarah went to immediately after marriage. Nor,
have I had access to a 1860, 1870 census to tie John in with his siblings or
parents.
If anyone has those census' and could look up to see if a connection could
be made I would appreciate it. Supposedly John was born 1850 in Baker County,
Ga., however; I cannot find any proof of this.

Please delete my former submission of entire family tree. Request is made
since there are numerous errors and living family members have complained that
personal data is publically available.

Thanks,
Don

Thanks,
Don

I still believe STARTING with the FIRST proven SELLERS = JOHN 1850 IS  where to start
BORN WHERE

MARRIED WHERE

WHERE DIED == OBIT = WHAT info=

WHERE his kids born = YOU neglected this info ?
A TIME chart = EACH YEAR and PLACE and WHERE =
does help = make/send/

DID we Find him in 1880 census?
DID we find him in 1900 census?

WE Need THIS  PROVEN info on JOHN SELLERS (or did his parents call him something else? OR do we have a remarried Mother in 1860 with kids listed as THAT surname?)

SHOW me where they ARE, in these dates/places and LETS WORK on PROVING these kids to these families.
I can't even find these SISTERS? etc buried in WASH CO, FL
That were born in 1850's = WHERE= THEY had OBITS also,
ARE we Trying to go  Back  to Far, Too Fast?

LETS GET BACK to Where we can PROVE THIS FAMILY =
what 1900 WASH CO, FL?
ADVISE,
marie, iowa

JOSHUA 1844 maybe here with a family?And his Mother EMILY.

AND, maybe  NOT same Family?

ALTHO we NEED Info on all families connected to next census/family.

DON'T seem to have this 1880 census, you state living next to each other = PLEASE SEND.

Note: Joshua and his wife Nancy remained behind in Georgia while all of the
siblings below traveled first to Alabama about 1882 and then on to NW
Florida Holmes/Washington counties. Joshua was in Co. A, 59th Georgia
Infantry during War between the states. Joshua is buried at Pisgah cemetery
in Decatur county, Georgia. Joshua's surname was changed to SELLARS on a
census and his line still uses ARS. I am in contact with a great-great
granddaughter from Gray, Georgia. On the 1880 Decatur County, Georgia census
Joshua and the newly married John are living next door to each other.)

Thank You-Thank You-Thank You,
Don

I know it's been awhile since I last contacted you but, I haven't been very productive in my research.

Recently I received papers that show I have a cross over in my Sellers line and I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.

I am looking for information on HENRY L. SELLERS and SUSANNAH (HETTY) BRYANT. One of thier daughters Amanda Jane Sellers married Sampson Carter. It is my understanding that Henry and Sussannah came from North Carolina, (Do you have any idea where?) They had 6 children as shown below:

Tucanius
Henry
Roberet Melvin
DeWitt Clinton
Sussannah
Amanda Jane

This is probably not the order of birth. Amanda met and married Sampson sometime prior to 1860 in Georgia. Prior to 1850 Henry L. Sellers moved his family to Washington County, Florida. There are numerous documents verifying that they were in Washington County.

The cross over comes when a son of Sampson and Amanda Jane Carter marries Delilah Sellers my great aunt. As far as I know at this point Henry L. Sellers and my great aunt are not related. (Note: This Carter family also moved to Washington County, Florida around the same time the Sellers family did.)

Any suggestions/ comments would be appreciated. Hopefully I have made it a shade clearer that pure mud and you can make heads or tails out of it. I know I have seen the name Hetty/Hettie and Henry Sellers linked somewhere, just can't recall where.

I appreciate any time that you may give to this and I thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Donald L. Sellers

NOW, isn't this  the ASBURY SELLERS from BRUNSWICK CO, NC?
SOME of our SELLERS families should have this line charted out and perhaps
will send a link.

IN 1830 BRUNSWICK CO, NC =

WE have a BRYANT/SELLERS wedding in NEW HANOVER CO, NC, which is where HOWE

ANYONE know where ASBURY SELLERS is in 1840? - married 1843 Brunswick SARAH

marie, iowa

What I am looking for is a list of children for this marriage. In particular anything from 1850 to 1870. I have positively identified my great great grandmother on the 1870 Census for Thomas County, Georgia. However, there is no husband shown, only the children. I have the information from that point to present and am attempting to find my Nancy's husband. Is it feasible that Nancy Boaz and my Nancy are one and the same? My Nancy was born in N.C. the same as Nancy Boazman.

Also, if anyone is researching HENRY L. (S.) SELLERS I have information on his marriage and where he migrated to.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I will share my research.

I DON'T believe the connection in MARLOWE'S book is complete/correct on the JOHN SELLERS/NANCY BOAZMAN.
Wrong Age on JOHN SELLERS, son of Mathew?
AND we NEED to Work on it more and connect/Prove More Kids.
HE has given us many deeds/records to help us trace/follow these families. Use Them.

PERHAPS his page on the JOHN F. SELLERS could help?

DON'T know if we checked out the other BOAZMAN/SELLERS marriage and where they went?
NEED.

JOHN SELLERS bond was signed by John SELLARS and Mathew SELLARS and dated
Feb 23-1815 to marry Nancy Boazman
 SELLERS, Matthew       B255 BOAZMAN, Mary              20/10/1811
MATHEW SELLERS bond was signed by Mathew SELLERS and Nathan GAUSE and
dated Oct 20,(twentyish) 1811 to marry Mary Boasman

SELLERS, Asbery        H300 HEWETT, Sarah Rebecca      02/01/1843
WE don't show a bondsman here? who?
 

BUT, the connection of ASBURY SELLERS and the JOHN F. SELLERS in 1850 JACKSON CO, FL looks good to Brunswick Co, NC in 1830.
http://showcase.netins.net/web/sellerfamily/fljack.htm

WHERE are we in 1840?

When/Where did JOHN F. SELLERS marry ELEANOR?
ANSWERS to any of these questions will help.

PLEASE send REPLIES thro SELLERS group on ANY connections, esp BOAZMANS.
