    I don't know if I'm doing this correctly, so if not please let me know. I just recently subscribed
to the Seller-L@Rootsweb list and came across the email correspondance between you and Robert C. Sollars.

He mentioned the info about Peter Sellers, Christian Sellers, and about a possible family connection between them and Philip Heinrich Sellers.

First off, Christian Sellers was Peter's nephew. Christian was indeed the firstborn son of Adam Sellers and a grandson of Heinrich Zeller (1704-1773). Christian did marry Mary Elizabeth Schneider
in Rockingham County, VA on July 30, 1801. They eventually ended up in Parke County, Indiana where both are buried at Old Moriah Cemetery.

Was the connection between this line of Sellers from Heinrich Zeller ever tied into the line from Philip Henry Sellers? Its been uncovered that both Heinrich and Philip Henry were in the Tulpehocken,
Berks County, PA area at the same time. The rumor still persists that they were cousins. Is this still a rumor or was Robert able to uncover anything?

Thanks!
Michael Sellers

Looking for information of Joseph Gill b. 1807 ?. Married Elizabeth ? who
died in 1859 in Parke County, Indiana. He also married Julia Crothers in
Parke conty, Indiana. They had a son Deverter Gill b. 1877? in Parke County,
Indiana. He married Minerva Eaton, Myrtle Sollars my great grandmother)
and Grace Judson.

DAILEY, Charles, farmer, stock raiser and fruit grower and a prominent and highly respected citizen of Clinton Locks, was b. Sept 10, 1835 on
the Daily homestead and consequently is one of Florida's oldest native citizens. His father, Benjamin Dailey, was born in Butler Co, Ohio on a
farm, Nov 22, 1803 and came to Parke Co in Oct 1827. The first two years of his stay in Fla. township he rented land of a Mr. STEWARD, on Sec
17. He then entered 88 acres on Sec 6 and paid for it by hauling corn to Roseville where he tramped it out with oxen and sold it for 12 and a half
cents per bushel. He was also compelled to sell his only mare to obtain the desired amount and even when this was done it was discovered
they were still short when Mrs. Dailey, a good hearted woman who was desirous of assisting all she possibly could toward a home, sold her
wedding dress for $3. But by persevering, and a will determined to found a home, Mr. Dailey finally accumulated a handsome property of 450
acres. He d. May 11, 1863 and is bur. in the Daily graveyard. Oct 27, 1825 he marr. Catharine REDEN who was b. Oct 11, 1809 in Pa and is now
in her 71st year. She is a remarkable old lady and possessed of an extraordinary memory in regard to early incidents and today is as lively as
most persons are at 30. This spring she made a trip to Arkansas with a sick son and returned with her activity only increased. They became the
parents of 8 children, 5 of whom are living: William R; Abner D; John; Samuel; Charles; James; Mary and Margaret. In 1834 M/M Dailey
became members of the Christian Church and Mrs. Dailey is the oldest member of the Christian church in the township. Mr. Dailey was one of
the first elders, and held the office until his death. His education was such as he could gather by observation and an insatiable disposition to
learn more of his country's history and her excellent institutions. He was noted for his punctuality, his fair dealing, his unrelenting energy, his
even charitable manner and his noble heart. Young Charles lived at home until 23 years of age, at which time he commenced farming for himself
on 80 acres of Sec 1 Rg 9. He soon built a story and a half house, and in the summer of 1871 made some fine additions and now has one of the
finest residences in western Florida. His farm now numbers 270 acres, nicely situated upon the bluff and in the bottoms. June 24, 1858 he was
marr. to Linnie WRIGHT in Putnam Co, near Morton, IN. They are the parents of six children, four of whom are living: Catharine; Eliza A;
Benjamin F; Emily E; Cora C; Charles C. Mr. Daily joined the Christian church in 1854 as did his wife, and has held the offices of elder, trustee
and superintendent of the Sunday school. He is a democrat, casting his first presidential vote in 1856 for James Buchanan. Mr. Dailey is one of
those exceptionable men who never had a lawsuit in his life. He is a sturdy temperance character, a man of his word and a thorough christian
gentleman.

Subject: Family of William Henry Sellers

I'm requesting info from anyone who has in their possession, has access to death records or certificates, or can do such lookups for Parke County, Indiana, during the period of 1878 - 1887.

My main interest is in finding out what in the world happened to the children of William Henry Sellers (October 5, 1840 - March 30, 1909) and Mary M. McDaniel (February 26, 1842 - May 13, 1887).

William Sellers and wife, Mary, had a total of 8 children. Four of their eight children died in a 10 day span between September 9, 1878, and September 19, 1878. Disease is the first thing that came to mind, however, two of the children died on the same day and there is every indication that perhaps the four children died as a result of some accident or catastrophe. Aside from the four that died within 10 days of each other, two more died either at 6 months of age or before they even reached the age of 8 years old. Many of them are buried in the Philadelphia Lutheran Cemetery in Parke County. And, to top that off, William's wife, Mary, died May 13, 1887, at the age of only 45!

I'm looking for information as to the cause of death for the four children who will be listed below that died within a 10 day period of time. I would also like info as to the cause of the mother's death as well in 1887. Anyone with access to death records or with information concerning them, please respond to this request for info. It must have been a terrible, terrible time for the family, and I feel I owe it to them to try and find out what happened.

William Henry Sellers was the son of Adam Sellers and Mary Amelia Darr. He and Mary McDaniel were married October 1, 1863. Their children were as follows:

1) Henry Washington Sellers (December 18, 1864 - April 13, 1906)

*2) Howard Sellers (November 1, 1866 - September 19, 1878)

*3) Cordelia (Gorda) Sellers (May 14, 1869 - September 9, 1878)

*4) Ida Sellers (September 15, 1871 - September 9, 1878)

*5) Walter Sellers (May 12, 1874 - September 17, 1878)

6) Reuben (Ruben) Sellers (December 14, 1876 - December 7, 1884)

7) William Elmer Sellers (February 5, 1886 - August 13, 1886)

8) Lewis Marion Sellers (January 11, 1884 - December 24, 1962)

As you can see, children #2, 3, 4, & 5 all died within 10 days of one another in 1878. Child #6 died just shy of 8 years old in 1884 while Child #7 died at 6 months of age in 1886. Then, their mother, Mary (McDaniel) Sellers, died May 13, 1887 at the age of 45.

Again, if anyone has access to death records, a history of Parke County, or any other type of record that reveals what happened to the children and/or a cause of death for them and their mother, I would be extremely grateful to hear from you.

Thanks for your time,

Michael Sellers

That's a shame about the church. Any idea when it burned down and when they

relocated to Greene Township? Seems like more than just a couple of

churches moved to Greene after early beginnings in Union (Old Moriah, for

one).

Only picture I've seen of the cemetery is the one at

Thank goodness for the transcription there as well as it aided me immensely

in finding the burial location for many of the children ...
