Subject: SELLARS, John D.
I have records for John D. SELLARS who was born about 1846 in Indiana
and
died on July 10, 1915 at the Soldiers Home in Orting, Pierce
County,
Washington.
He lived there for about 4 years
following the death of his wife in Walla
Walla, Washington. Civil War records indicate he served first with I
Company,
116th Inf. Reg. Indiana and then later with B
Company, 72nd Inf. Reg.
Indiana.
I also have a picture of
him that shows he lost a leg at some point in
life -- probably as a
result of the war -- though there are other stories
about this
matter.

Marie, thanks for getting back so quickly. Here is what I have so far:
William SELLARS (born about 1817 in Ohio) married Jane McGILLARD (born
about 1824 in
Indiana). Family tradition says his parents or
grandparents were from PA. They were married May
27, 1847 in Montgomery
County, Indiana. The 1850 census for Union Township
(Crawfordsville),
Indiana, shows three sons:
James S. SELLARS, born about 1843 in Indiana.
During the Civil War, James enlisted Aug. 9,
1862 and served with B
Company, 72nd Inf. Reg. Indiana. Civil war pension records also
indicate
his wife's name was Julia C. (no maiden name known).
John D. SELLARS (born about 1846 in Crawfordsville,
Montgomery County) who married
Elimia RALPH (born 1-7-1858 in
Mechanicsburg, Boone County). Based on age of oldest known
son,
they were probably married in 1875 or earlier. During the Civil War, John
enlisted Aug. 17,
1863 and served first with I Company, 116th Inf.
Reg. Indiana and then later with B Company,
72nd Inf. Reg.
Indiana. John died on July 10, 1915 at the Soldiers Home in Orting, Pierce
County,
Washington. He was 69 years old at the time.
William SELLARS, born about 1848 in Indiana.
Civil war records indicate William enlisted
October 19, 1864 and
served with H Company, 87th Inf. Reg. Indiana. William died sometime
after 1925 -- probably in California.
Isaac SELLARS, Born about 1861 in Indiana (added per the 1860 census)
Note that I have found the spellings of SELLER, SELLERS, and SELLARS to be
interchangeable,
so I am using SELLARS. Also, the 1860 census
records do not show Jane McGILLARD -
Sellars, so one can assume she
died sometime between 1850 and 1860.
I've got lots of information on the McGILLARD line (which I will post soon
on my web site), but
nothing so far on her husband William SELLARS --
except what is above. I also have a lot of
information about
their son John D. SELLARS and his family. If you are interested, you can
see it
here on my SELLARS web page (which I still have to update with
the above info).
