I am attempting research into Sellers & also Gaunt (mothers maiden name). I am originally from NJ
& now reside in FL. I believe my father had English linage & I know my mother did. Her parents
immigrated from England. Lets compare notes.

LYNN, thanks - Am sending this thro our SELLERS list for Their Info and
will resend your
entry to our New Rootsweb GenConnect Group! (they are still
organizing,msh)

PLEASE - Send some Names/Dates/Places =

Myself - Bertram Lynn Sellers, Jr. - Born Englewood, NJ - 4 Dec 1935
        Father - Bertram Lynn Sellers - Born Mount Holly, NJ - 6 Apr 1902
                Father - Cornelius Elmer Sellers - Born ? - 1874
                Mother - Laura Mae Sellers nee Armstrong - Born ?
        Mother - Ann Gauntt - Born Masonville, NJ - 14 Jan 1894
                Father - Thomas Kirkland Gauntt - Born ? - 23 May 1862
                Mother - Jane Gauntt nee Dunstan - Born Manchester,
                England - 28 Apr 1863

 I know that my Mothers parents migrated from England, but do not have a
date. My Father claimed English heritage but I have nothing to verify
that.
The history on that side of the family is spotty. The spelling of Gauntt,
Gaunt, Gant seems to vary with the person. In looking at English genealogy
I find that this is a common occurrence, I guess because Olde English
spelling had no definite rules for so long.

Lynn


LYNN, Thank You - IF we read the 1880 census, he should be on it with his
parents.
Or a death certificate may show his parents?
We have some Older NJ info - not much new - Perhaps someone will recognize
some names.

Hello Sellers Researchers;

I need help. I have reached a dead end at my Grandfather's parents. Here
is what I know for sure.

Great Grandfather - ? Sellers (could be Sellars)
Great Grandmother - Catherine Owen Fox - b. Sept. 1849, Phila., PA
Grandfather - Cornelius Elmer Sellers - b. 1874, York?, PA - d. 1918
Grandmother - Laura May Armstrong - b. May 7, 1882, Burlington, NJ - d.
Oct. 23, 1970
Father - Bertram Lynn Sellers - b. Apr. 6, 1903, Mount Holly, NJ - d.
Jan. 23, 1995
Mother - Ann Gauntt - b. Jan. 14, 1894, Masonville, NJ - d. Jan. 19, 1986

Catherine was re-married in 1882 to George W. Moore who raised my
Grandfather. We assume that ? Sellers died, but have no hard data.

My Father's siblings are George Moore Sellers, Catherine M. Sellers, &
Nellie Elizabeth Sellers. At this time we know of no siblings to my
Grandfather.

Can anyone make a connection?

We have acquired a book of the Sellers in Pennsylvania & will be glad to
research it for you. It didn't help us yet, but may assist someone else.

Hi, I have not checked dates but it appears that this may be connect to
Leonard Sellers,dying in Bucks in 1805. By his second wife, an Abraham was
born but I have found
no one tracking these children. My line is via his first born son, Philip
Henry, who was born in Bucks Cnty and died in Franklin Cnty. I do have
limited info provided by a lady who
has been investigating for many years.
Roger in Las Cruces,NM


ROGER- Thanks for time to suggest, etc - Appreciated - And Connecting these PA families is SO important!
Perhaps, LYNN will continue on -
