(from auto

Soon after his marriage Isham and Lydia
(Barr) Sellers , both natives of
North Carolina, came on horseback to
the wilds of Kentucky, carrying their
household effects on pack
horses, and began life in true pioneer fashion.
The
clapboards, that formed the roof of their log cabin were fastened on
with
wooden pegs, as nails in that day were a luxury hardly to be
thought of for
such purposes. There this couple lived until their
deaths, rearing a large
family of children. He was a member of
the old Baptist church and his wife
was a Methodist.
