An elderly lady in San Antonio, Texas, wrote to me years ago. She has
spent
thousands of dollars hiring professional researchers researching her Sellers
from
Burke Co., NC.
She started with Robert Sellers Sr. of Burke Co., NC,
who supposedly
the brother to James T/Y Sellers that died in Chatham
Co., NC 1804/1805.
Robert Sellers disappears after the 1800 census in Burke Co., NC
Here are the proposed children of Robert Sellers Sr. and Sarah Unknown:
1.James Sellers
2.Ruth Sellers married William Harris
3.John Sellers born 1755-1774
4.Rebecca Sellers born 1762 died 18 Oct 1834, Burke Co., NC; married

5.Elizabeth Sellers married Levi Jackson 1780 Wilkes Co., NC
6.Robert Sellers Jr. married Sarah Hall; died Washington Co., Indiana
7.Sarah Sellers born 1769 married Joshua Hall Sr.
8.Mary Sellers married Micajah Hall
9.Isaac Sellers born 17 Dec 1777, Burke Co., NC; died 11 Jun 1848,
Gibson Co., TN;
married Elizabeth Huddleston
1. John Sellers married Julia
Fonville
2. Sarah Sellers married
William Dixon Lewis; married

happens to be a great grandfather of my husband)
3. Mary Sellers

April 1809; died 12 Aug 1893

married Margaret Miller; married #2 Nancy Stuart Sellers
(daughter of Laird Sellers and
Annie Hackney)

Reuben Biggs 02 Mar 1830 Gibson Co., TN
6. Kiziah Sellers married
Charles Forrester/Foster 23 Oct 1839 Gibson Co., TN
7. Nancy Sellers married
Elisha Easterwood
8. William "Isaac"
Sellers born 11 Dec 1820, Gibson Co., TN;
died 1848 Mexico City, Mexico; married Lucinda Jane Collum
10. Jacob Sellers b. 1779, Burke Co., NC died after
1811 married Anna Scott
(daughter of John Scott Sr. and Agnes Reed)
1. Elizabeth Sellers
2. John Sellers
3. James Sellers
4. Robert Sellers born circa 1800
died 1838 Fayette Co., Texas;
married Rebecca
Fletcher (daughter of William Fletcher and Leanna Unknown; again my
husband's line)
5. Cynthia Sellers married
Jesse Rankin 29 Dec 1820 Livingston Co., KY
6. Nancy Sellers born 1810
Livingston Co., KY married Andrew Blair
09 Oct 1830 Gibson Co., TN (they can be found in 1850 Gibson Co., TN census with
4 children)
I have verified much of the information and some was difficult to verify.
Jacob was last found 1811 in Livingston Co., KY
and cannot be found after that.
You will find the Scotts in Livingston Co., KY, however.

Georgia, Gibson Co, Tn, Nancy SELLERS married 1831 Andrew Blair.
If you have worked out a chart on Nancy SELLERS parents, would
appreciate sharing info - I haven't tied her to anyone, except the Blair
family was closely associated with a John SELLERS in Gibson Co, I
believe he died ca 1829.
This Robert SELLERS didn't have a child this age.
Isaac SELLERS has a daughter Nancy.
I believe we are connected to ROBERTSON Co,Tn.
ANY help appreciated, marie, iowa

If I remember correctly, Jacob did not show up in the census records of
Livingston
Co., KY, but 1811 I think he showed up on a tax list. Not sure about the
year. They
have been hunting for Jacob ever since. Didn't one of his children marry
there after
1820? Jacob's child married Laird Sellers child. Laird is a son
of James
Sellers of
Chatham Co. NC. Jacob was never in Gibson County, Tn - just is
children
(makes me
think he was probably dead by 1830.
I am in the process of changing genealogy programs. I have used Family
Roots for 15
years and am transferring that data to Family Tree Maker. I've got
over
16,000 names
and have only entered 4,000 so it will be a while.

Georgia, thanks for getting right back to me - Will work on this a little
more, since I
have my papers all out - Yes, I did see the Fletcher marriages.
I just could NOT find Jacob SELLERS - perhaps the Scott connection may help
me and perhaps,
I'll be back with questions. Thanks for sharing, marie, iowa
James Sellers that died in Chatham Co., NC circa 1804 and Robert Sellers
Sr. of Burke Co., NC are supposed to have a brother named John Sellers
that we have not
been able to find. Family history said that he owned a mill and we thought he went to
Pennsylvania but the naming pattern of the Sellers in Chesterfield
District, SC is so
similar to James Sellers children, i.e., Isaac, Hardy, John. Are there
any
Young Sellers in this line? James' children are in Maury, Williamson and
Lawrence
Counties, Tennessee very early in the 1800's. Robert's family may be
found
in Gibson County, Tennessee. I wonder if there could be a connection?

My research has shown that the Rev. War James Sellers that died in Grainger
Co., TN, was of German descent whereas our James Sellers of Chatham Co., NC,
is
supposed to be Scottish. I know he was in the same county but the Grainger County bunch
went to Missouri. Look at my Missouri info that Marie posted on this family. I
would say they are definitely German descent. There are just too many Roberts, James and
Johns in this family. I can't sort them out. I just looked up my info on Young
Sellers' daugher (this Young is the son of James that died in Chatham Co., NC circa
1804).
Young's daughter Sarah married W. J. Page (you will find them in the 1850
Chatham Co.,NC census with Young Sellers born 1784 in the household).
Sarah Sellers
Page named her children: James J., Joseph M., Isaac Y. (Young?), Chesley E., Nathaniel L.,
Nancy G.,
Ainey M.

GEORGIA - Thanks, I have seen this story also, but, no source of proof
and I can't prove it either. So looking for more connections to these
families. marie, iowa
