JO ANN, I subbed you. (you may receive this twice this time)
Maybe one of our SELLERS can help see this/your family. You can use some info
we have posted on our Hunt Co., Tx page
http://www.sellers-sellars-sollars-zellars.net/txhunt.htm
altho, I see where we need to identify more of these families.
I know our members would love a picture of Jennie and Fannie Lee, if you would
share a copy with us.
My Monos T. Sellers 1785 WV is Not proven yet, thanks. marie, iowa

Subject: Fannie Lee SELLERS
Marie, I thank you so much for your reply. I subscribed to the SELLERS list
at Rootsweb but my posting and your reply to the posting did not show up in
my email, nor did my posting show up in the archives, although yours did. So
must be something wrong with the way I subscribed. Can you tell me me how to
subscribe just in case i messed up someway?
Anyway you have my eternal thanks for your reply. Fannie Lee was my grandmother, but I had never seen her, didn't even have a picture of her until a cousin came to visit about 3 years ago and brought up some pictures for me to make copies of. So I have some pictures of her, and of William MEDLIN, and of her first husband (my grandfather) NIBLETT. As well as some pictures of children from both marriages. There was also a picture of Jennie DOBBS, and written on the back it said "To Sis and Mr. Medlin. I have been trying to find Fannie and Jennie's parents since then, but no luck. Jennie died in a nursing home at either Fort Smith or Greenwood (have to get out my information to check that).
Some of that information on the Census is not correct. Fannie Lee was William Medlin's third wife. Homer Hayden was the son of Fannie Lee's fiorst husband, James C. Niblett.
Still in need of the parent's of Fannie and Jennie. I have a couple of census print outs for Sebastian County, Arkansas that show a two or more families of Sellers, but cannot link them to Fannie and Jennie. (Don't know who William Medlin's parent's were, either as his mother died when he was around 3 yrs old and he was passed around to different relatives, but do know he married his first wife in Texas, they were divorced, he remarried and lived in Logan county, Arkansas, wife died, then he married Fannie Lee). I no longer have access to the Censuses, so cannot check for Fannie Lee's parents in Hunt County, Texas. Can you help with that?
What line of SELLERS are you from?
Thanks again
Jo Ann

PAT, thanks. Let's see if any of our members know any of these families. I thought the dau Jinny of James and Dicey looked good, but, not sure if Jackson Co., Al or not. Seems some of that family came here tho. I believe Georgia has worked on some of this family. We also had two other members, may not be active now, connected to some of these families, but, may be more than one family. Thanks, marie, iowa

JO ANN, some info on http://www.sellers-sellars-sollars-zellars.net/arsebast.htm
i BELIEVE I added a link where you can order obits from Sebastian Co. Might
give it a try. marie, iowa

Subject: Fannie Lee SELLERS with 2nd husband William Medlin and his children
Emailing: Jennie Dobbs
Property of Jo Ann's cousin. Please do not use without permission.
==============
Marie She is listed under Medlin,Fannie Sellers Niblett 1881-1968 Union Ridge Cemetery, N/W of Dayton, Sebastian Co. AR. I'm not sure where you can get an obit? the Ft Smith,usually want you to send $10.00 searching fee, and since it doesn't have a month of death, they will have to check the whole year. But if they had a newspaper in Greenwood,Ar. then, which I am sure they did, they would have copies on microfilm, they could copy. Ft Smith library has a site, www.fspl.lib.ar.us/ click on genealogy, then indexes. also you could call library 501 782-5065, and ask if obits would be in their newspaper for burial in Dayton? Hope some of this may help you Mildred
=====================
Thanks, Marie. I also emailed my cousin asking if they had a copy of Jennie's obit, but I have not heard back from them. My cousin is in his late 70's and is not well, so he is sort of getting out of things that he used to do. I have not heard from them in the past 2 or 3 weeks, so may be sick. I may write or email the Scott County Historical Society asking for a look-up but I doubt their resources go that far back. I also subscribed to the Hunt Co., TX rootsweb site and sent an email asking for the address of the county clerk so I can try to send for the marriage certificates for Fannie and Jennie. No reply yet, since I only subscribed last night. You could go ahead and send a copy of the picture of Jennie and Fannie to Georgia (with the understanding that she is not to pass it on to anyone else) so she can compare their features with whatever pictures of Sellers she may have. Blessings, Jo Ann
=========
JO ANN, thanks.
I have had very good look with Genealogy Societies of the town, BUT, not all
on line yet. They save almost all obits and a very small donation is all I send.
and Yes, the lookup volunteers do a good job of sharing what they have and they
are free.
Did you say you had a picture of Fannie and her kids? memory . The picture you
sent you stated his kids, not Fannie's two with him? I may have misunderstood
or remembering wrong.
The Tom and Carl on our Jackson Co., Al page is related to this family, they
probably have photos, but, they haven't shared any yet and I haven't heard from
them during our letters, etc. Carl may not be active now, but, I think Tom still
is? They both are DNA members and helped us prove to David Sellers. Read Judith's
will. maybe I have already sent this!
http://www.sellers-sellars-sollars-zellars.net/aljack.htm
I will make a note that you have these photos and will share with family members,
I won't publish it as then , it is open to any and all and I know you don't
want that yet. Appreciate you sharing with us.
We have made a great connection here and has helped all of us.
Sometimes, it takes info like yours to help us prove another child.
best wishes, marie, iowa
=============
JO ANN, thank you so much. Please try and get us permission to use these pictures.
WHO is this cousin? a child of Fannie or Jennie's kids?
You can share any/all info we send on our SELLERS. This is the Only way we Prove
families.
I can see where a copy of the marriage license of Fannie or Jennie may help,
esp Fannie, if she was only 14, may show parents. I believe the marriage # or
book, etc was listed on our Hunt Co., TX page.
An obit on either of these gals would be helpful. Did you tell us where Fannie
died? I believe you stated Jennie died in TX? We can check TX deaths pretty
good. will try. Don't remember what we have on AR deaths.
Advise whatever you have already done or have.
We should try and prove some of the other kids here that were Jennie's siblings.
That may help us also.
Thanks, talk later. marie, iowa
=============
Thanks for all the information and the links you put on the page, Marie. I
already had some of it, but a lot I didn't have.
The cousin I mentioned is Fannie Lee Seller's grandson. I do not want to use
his name or his mother's name since he is still living. He gave me permission
to use the pictures for a Family History Book that I hope to get started writing
one of those days. By not using the pictures I sent, I meant for the other researchers
not to copy and make personal use of them since I do not have my cousin's permission
for that. He probably would not mind them being put on my page so that others
can complare them with the family pictures they have, just not copy them for
their own use. He is kind of burnt out on doing genealogy right now, but I still
share my information with him.
Fannie's children by her first husband was: William Robert, Maud Lee, Cordie,
Daisy, Homer, Dicey, Montie, James Franklin. Fannie died in 1968. By second
husband she had Ruth and Lorene.
There is an obit for Angel Darlene Sellers, who's parent's were James Thomas
and Janice Boles Sellers of Houston Texas. It also lists the names of her brother
and her sisters. I t hink the obit is at http://www.kdqn.net/obit.htm
1880 Arkansas Shoal Creek, Logan County had a
Mary Jane Sellers, head of household, born 1842, (in GA?), age 38. Father born
GA Mother born SC.
Note: On the 1880 Census for Freestone, TX, I mistyped Dicey S. Sellers name
as Disey.
Hope this helps.
==================
JO ANN, thanks, I see that now, but, NO more info on NESBITS! Sorry,; and it appears that
1880 Freestone, Texas
James H. Sellars 51 AL, DAD NC, MOM TN
Dicey S. Sellars 35 TN, PARENTS BLANK
George Sellars 22 AL, BOTH PARENTS AL
Robert Sellars 6 TX, DAD AL, MOM TN
Jinny Sellars 4 TX, DAD AL, MOM TN
is the best I can see.
Your obit/or death certificate MAY show parents.
I believe there was a link back to JACKSON CO, AL where Young Sellers is and later in HUNT/FREESTONE CO, TX? Memory.
AND his sons that may be same that came to TX.
WE have dna tests on a couple of these SELLERS.
CAN you follow thro on some of the boys and find a living male SELLERS?
Ask for lookups , check phone listings, etc.
GEORGIA has worked on this YOUNG SELLERS family. Don't know if she has proven all the kids and their families or not.
But, appears to be same. Documents help PROVE.
