David Sellers was my ggrandfather,
my father is Tillman A Sellers the grandson of David, his grandfather was
William Sellers the oldest child when David went to war. David was a POW
captured at Ft Fisher, NC and died of smallpox at the POW camp at Elmyra or
Elmria New York. The family suffered
great losses and eventually lost everthing according to family recollections!
My grandfather was the town doctor according
to family tales, a Dr. Floyd that was
married at the time but was rumored to be my Dad's father.....my grandmother
was Edgie Sellers, a single woman in 1914 at the time of my father's birth. My
father was reared by his grandparents, William and Helen Barfield Sellers in
Robeson and Columbus Counties, North Carolina. If anyone knows of any info
please let me know my father is still alive and wishes to know his heritage.
Thank you for any help. Joyce Konzny

JOYCE,
thanks for sharing SELLERS.
Dad seems to have his names known back to 1850 ROBESON CO, NC.
We have had SELLERS working on his family and will cc the old address which
goes thro the SELLERS discussion group.
(check the address on the 1870 census below, msh)
HE/YOU could send his family and who married and went to, so Others can be
helped also.
Did Tillman have a brother Lemel, etc? same father?
(see census below)
MY records only go to 1930, but your and others personal info can help fill in
the gaps, etc
PLEASE share what you can AND any memories he has on ANY of these names.

SELLERS FAMILY DISCUSSION GROUP
Aug 29, 2004
Thank you for the replies...my
father did have a brother Lemuel "Jack" who was killed by his
daughter in Florence, SC about 1966-67. There are alot of misspellings in the
census. My grandmother's name was Lou Edgie Sellers and Milton is supposed to
be Melton who married Annie Strickland...my Dad said the earliest Sellers was a
Jett or a Jed Sellers that came through New York and then settled in the Robeson
and Columbus Cty areas in NC. There is a small family cemetary outside of Fair Bluff, NC I think it's called Spring
Hill...several Rogers are buried there, too
==
Fair Bluff = Columbus Co, NC, msh
Spring Hill Cemetery = Davidson, Haywood, Scotland Co., NC, msh

JOYCE, thanks.
WE would appreciate a small
name/place of your fathers kids, etc
and also his brother Lemuel/Jack.
WHERE they went/married/died and
their kids names.
AND any info on ANY of his
aunts/uncles etc.
WHO is buried at Fairbluff /Columbus
Co?/ Spring Hill Cem?
HOW connected to this family?
THEN you must document DAVID SELLERS born ca 1828 . SC is listed on
the 1850 census. otherwise NC is listed.
THIS area of land was Very Close and
same at one time.
I did NOT see a civil war Pension on
David Sellars = Company Batty D, 2nd Light Artillery Regiment North
Carolina , which equals the death dates/places you listed. and
died march 20, 1865
The David G. Sellers = Company B,
51st Infantry Regiment North Carolina , you replied to on civil war message,
does NOT appear to be the same. altho , same age, but, he rec'd disability in
Feb 1865
IF you have ANY reason to think they
are the same, Advise and can check further on pensions for David G. Sellers.
WHEN did his wife ELIZABETH die, perhaps she died before CW
applications came out? OR if remarried, that husband could have been in CW?
HER info is very important.
HOW was ELIZABETH proven to be a
HAYNE?
YES, we have all these SELLERS kids
living with HAYNES in 1850 Robeson Co, NC
DOES your Dad remember anything
about HAYNES?
DOES your DAD remember anything on
great aunt/uncles?
DOES your DAD have any old obits he
has saved ?
He rec'd his info from family =
OR he/you need to go back to Original source and follow the documents/proof
shown from those families, areas.
1840 CENSUS are very important = WHO
had kids these ages?
AND we have an ARCHIBALD SELLERS
1808 SC with wife HARRIET here in
1850 with kids born SC
WHERE is he in 1840? = does he have
a son born 1820/30?
YES, Jordon SELLERS proven back to
1700 appears to be here in 1830 with son born 1820/30 (have we proven him?,msh)
YOU must work Backwords from where
your parents, etc are PROVEN in a certain time/area.
DO we have land records on this STERLING
MILLS/ROBESON CO, NC area?
WHERE was it before 1787 when
Robeson was made? check Land patents for info?
YOU must find documents to prove
families = can be cousins/aunts/uncles, etc.
USE dates with names/places.
SHARON, has done alot of research on
these families, don't know if she has worked on ARchibald or Jordon. will send
cc for help.
PLEASE send what you can. THANKS for
sharing SELLERS.
