The family of John Henry and Anna Maria appear to have lived near
Elkton,
VA
near the Monger family. John Henry was listed in most records as
"Henry."
Adam, Peter and John had adjoining farms to John Henry. John Henry
had sold
land to these men also, and to Henry Monger his son-in-law. I have
seen on
this list that Johannes or John Zeller and Elizabeth Perky were
the parents
of Jacob who married Christina Runkle and Christina Monger. The
information
I
have from the Monger history which references the Rush Co., IN history
says
that Adam was his father and that he died in Warren Co., OH in 1821
age 79.
I'm thinking that John and Elizabeth Perky Sellers were Jacob's
Aunt and
Uncle. Maybe.
Here are some land records which kind of show some possible connections:

believe the Henry Sellers is actually John Henry)

family.
I
think its possible that with a little more research the above genealogy
chart
could be considered accurate. I hope.
