MARIE and ALL,
This is just to remind everyone that I come by my interest
in Ferdinand Sellers through the Hormell side. Reportedly
Eleanor Lee, sister of my Phebe Lee (both daughters of
William Lee and first wife Cathren) married Henry Hormell.
One daughter, Rebecca married Ferdinand. I just found it an
interesting coincidence, since I have Bracken Co. KY Sellers
whose descendants, at least, had later ties to Warren Co. OH
people. Phebe Lee's granddaughter, Elizabeth Ulrey, married
a grandson of a Bracken Co KY Sellers, John S. McDaniel.
To complicate matters more, a daughter of John S. McDaniel
and Elizabeth Ulrey, Sarah Frances McDaniel married two
brothers (successively) who were the grandsons of another
Sellers--Robert Sellers.
The KY and OH Sellers are definitely German. I think that
the family of Robert Sellers believes him to be of Scottish
descent, but I don't think clear proof exists. They MAY
alll have PA in common, so who knows...?
Got the info on Ferdinand Seller's family from a Heritage
Books CD--Historical and Genealogical Records of West
Central Ohio which basically contains the text of several
Ohio histories. Think I excerpted all the pertinent data.
Unfortunately, I cannot access it just now. CD drive seems
to be "on the fritz." The early history I found
online--someone's Runkel database, as I recall.
William Lee and three wives reportedly produced 23 children
in all. I seem to remember some question about Eleanor as a
PROVEN daughter. I am NOT a Lee expert, so....

From the info I've put together, I
have much the same info as you concerning
Rebecca and her parents. I also have that she was the d/o Henry
Hormell,
Jr. and Margaret Fry and was the
grand daughter of Henry Hormell, Sr. and
Elinor Lee.
Mentioning David Randolph Sellers
again, of Rebecca Hormel and her ancestry
he wrote that she was, " the
daughter of HENRY HOMRELL, JR., who was born at
Brownsville, Pennsylvania in 1791
and died near Ridgeville, Warren County,
Ohio in 1828, the year of her
birth. He owned a farm across
Clear Creek,
opposite his father's farm, and was
for many years a Methodist class leader.
Rebecca Sellers' mother, MARGARET
FRY, was born in 1793, Hagerstown,
Maryland, and died in 1859, probably
in Warren County, Ohio. She was
buried
in the Sharon graveyard.
Rebecca's grandfather was HENRY
HORMELL, SR. (1747 - 1834), who moved with
his family from Brownsville,
Pennsylvania to Ridgeville, Warren County,
Ohio, in 1808. He was a Revolutionary War veteran,
having served as Ensign
in Captain Swaney's Company, 5th
Battalion. His wife, the
grandmother of
Rebecca Hormell Sellers, was ELINOR
LEE."
Hope the above is at least a little
helpful to you Sherry, in what you may
have already suspected concerning
the ties between the Hormells, Sellers,
and Lees.
The info I have on Ferdinand was
again from my own research into the Sellers
lines since Ferdinand was a
"3rd Cousin 4 Times Removed" to me. Ferdinand
and I both descended from Heinrich
Zeller: Ferdinand via Heinrich's
oldest
son, John Sellers, and I from
Heinrich's youngest, Adam Sellers.
Ferdinand's grandfather, Jacob
Sellers, was the first of his line of Sellers
to Ohio. He followed by a couple of years the first of any of the
lines,
his 1st cousin Peter Sellers, the
3rd son of Adam mentioned above.
I, too, am somewhat limited in my
connections to the Lackey's. The
main one
that I know of is by marriage
mentioned earlier of Ferdinand's daughter,
Laura Emma Sellers, to Enos
Ellsworth Lackey.

Rebecca Hormell may be a descendant
of my William Lee through possible
daughter Eleanor Lee who married
Henry Hormell. As I recall,
Rebecca was a
daughter of Henry Hormell, Jr. and
Margaret Frey. The Lee family came
to
Warren Co. from PA, and (from
memory), I believe that the Hormell family did
also. I found some of the ancestry
of Ferdinand Sellers in a Warren Co. OH
history. Again, I believe that this information has been posted. I too
suspect that all of the Lackey
families are related, but since I do not have
any Lackey relatives (to my
knowledge), I have not followed them.
I have
only looked at Sellers in Warren Co.
OH as Ferdinand may related to my Lee
family. Sherry
