From: Ernest Sellers <73174.1247@CompuServe.COM> = OLD
Marie, There are two Samuel Sellers who were born in 1788 who
went to
Ala.
The Samuel Sellers who was married to Stanaland was a son
of Elisha
according to the Watters book. He moved to Pike County Ala
in the early
1830's according to the Watters book.
The other Samuel, my
ggggrandfather, married Alice (Ailie) Cook,
and moved to Wilcox county in 1928 or 1929. I traveled to
Camden Ala this
summer and viewed their graves. The inscriptions on the headstones
are
reported at Ernest's Page which you have linked to Wilcox County,
Ala.
According to the Watters book, the Samuel Sellers who married Alice,
is a
son of Isham Sellers (sometimes listed as Isom Sellers on census
records).
I believe part of the confusion resulted from an error in the Watters
book.
Watters at one point in the book appears to have confused
the two and
listed the children of Sellers/Stanaland as the children of Sellers/Cook.
Since both have sons named Calvin, the mistake is understandable.
The Samuel Sellers who
lived in Wilcox County and who married
Alice
Cook, was born Sept 23, 1788 and died Aug 23, 1852 in Wilcox County.
I initially believed
that Calvin Cook Sellers was a son of the
Sellers/Stanaland marriage and reported that in several messages
found at
Ernest's Page. I have now got the two Samuel's cleared up
but have not
corrected the error.
Please file this letter
at Ernest's Page linked to Wilcox County
to
correct the error. Yesterday, I mailed my Watters book to
Don Sellers for
his use in his research. As soon as it is returned, I will
supplement
this
message with the precise quotes from the Watters book which I believe
created the confusion, and quotes from another part of the book
where she
correctly reports the marriage and children of the two Samuels.
Very
Truly
Yours, Ernest A. Sellers.
Evidently Calvin Cook SELLERS birth is proven thro CW records?
ANSON CO,NC/CHESTERFIELD CO, SC =
lay Next to each other
Samuel SELLERS married ALLIE COOK, dau of Daniel COOK and All to
AL
(I have No source of proof, maybe a will in AL? or war record?msh)
AND more work needs done on this family = checking/proving ages etc
ALSO an ANSON,NC note that a WILLIAM SELLERS went to
AL from here and
died - No dates
Don't believe I saw on a census and don't remember if we knew his
wifes
name.
I will try and go back to AL/NC and post census info for a DANIEL
COOK, -
would be just an
index-
ANY DANIEL COOK wills in AL? - perhaps Wilcox Co, AL?
I am also Very Interested in this ARCHIBALD SELLERS on the 1820/30
WILCOX
CO, AL census -
just haven't connected him to NC - altho we had 2-3 there -
Thanks for sharing Ernest, marie, iowa

No Samuel SELLERS

SAMUEL SELLERS
for some reason - ages NOT posted? thought we had - Need
Please use our census/info to work on this family - Perhaps, you
already
have?
Samuel SELLERS 1788 would not be son of Roland-as stated somewhere-
possibly Hardy, but NOT listed in his will, which doesn't always
list the
older kids
possibly Philip
I believe much of our ANSON CO, NC/CHESTERFIELD CO,SC sent
by Belinda=
(who also has the Anson Co, NC web page)
http://showcase.netins.net/web/sellerfamily/ncanson.htm
and should be links to other county/states
DO we have a COOK history?

This Isham SELLERS and Unis VANN doesn't show a son SAMUEL, but,
they did have a son William born ca 1788 Chesterfiled Co, NC/SC

Wes Edwards, from Ernest Sellers, 105 N. Ohio Ave, Live Oak,
Fl 32060
Pg 323 of book "Some Descendents of William Sellers Who Was In Tarboro,
N.C., In
1750" states "...Samuel Sellers was the son of Isham and Eunice
Vann(also
spelled Unis Vann) or his second wife Lydia Barr. The idendity
of the mother
was not found. Samuel was the grandson of William Sellers;
the great grandson
of William Sellers of Tarboro, N.C. Samuel was one of
eight sons and five
daughters of Isham Sellers and his two wives. Samuel Sellers
wife was
Alice--last name unknown.
Samuel Sellers was known
to have lived in the Chesterfield district of
South Carolina, from whence he migrated to Wilcox County, Alabama,
about 1828.
Samuel and his wife Alice
were the parents of twelve sons and two
daughters, namely: Huey, Daniel, Gamaliel, Luther, Hosea,
Cornelius, Matthew,
William (1807-1861), Calvin Cook (1811-1852), three sons whose names
are
unknown, Harriet (1821-1897), Sarah. An 1850
Wilcox county census shows a
Samuel Sellers as being 62 and born in North Carolina..."
I would appreciate receiving a photocopy of your bible entry.
Thanks, Ernest

Marie, I visited the cemetary where Samuel Sellers and his
wife Alice
(Ailie) Cook are buried near Millers Ferry west of Camden Ala. Alice's
tombstone recites ..."wife of Samuel Sellers who was born June 23,
1788 and
died February 7, 1857." Samuel's tombstone recites..." born
Sept 23, 1788
and died Aug 23, 1852. I made photo's of the stones.
If anyone wants a
copy, I will provide.
Alice Cook was
the daughter of Daniel Cook and his wife Ruth
Moultrie. Daniel Cook was the son of Abram Cook and his wife
Phoebe
Mastin. Abram Cook's father was also named Daniel Cook.
Ruth Moultrie was
the daughter of Dr. John Moultrie who came to this country from
Scotland.
The information in this paragraph was obtained from Joan Sellers
Johnson of
Decatur, Ga. She has a limited publication book on the Cook family
of South
Carolina. The book reports that Samuel and Alice moved to
Alabama in the
late 1820's.
Calvin Cook Sellers,
the son of Samuel and Alice Cook is buried in
the same cemetary. His tombstone contains the inscription
"Sacred to the
memory of Calvin C Sellers who was born inChesterfield
District, S.C. Sept
30, 1811, was married to Eliza A. Howell of Wilcox County, Ala and
died
March 22, 1852 in the 41st year of his life..." I have
photographed the
gravestone and will provide a copy to anyone who would like a copy.
Joan Sellers Johnson
advised me that Eliza A Howell was a daughter
of William H. Howell who was a son of Caleb Howell.
Please add this information
to "Ernest's page" . I will try to
obtain dates of marriage and names of children to go with the Howell
and
Cook family members mentioned above. Regards,
Ernest A. Sellers
