My name is Lois Canada and my mom, Lillian Hoegenauer, found the Sellers Family website accidentially while doing geneology research at the library. Since I am unfamiliar with how / where she found everything I felt it easier to just e-mail you what she has typed out as a response to your inquiry.

LOIS, thank you!

I don't know if this family is proven any proven back.

LEONARD is a good Bucks Co, Pa name, BUT, we don't know the names of all the

kids!

And Each brother probably had a child named Leonard.

AND counties made and lays next to BUCKS Co, Pa Must be followed.

AND townships and Land records = we don't have = Need, might show a

reference to child, etc.

HOWEVER, in 1885 Leonard returned to his old home = CHAMBERSBURG, PA = (WHAT

township was this made from?)

AND Who did he visit=

AND Who are EACH of these families =

1880=

I also see a possible error we have posted and must correct or make

notation.

ON the Kent Co, Mi board we show his mother as Elizabeth Charlton LOCK.

On the Franklin Co, Pa board we show his mother as Elizabeth C. Montgomery.

IF this is the way the original documents are worded, we will leave it.

Otherwise, we need a reread.

PLEASE ADVISE.
