I note that
you have been researching the Sellers line - would you have any information
to share on couple: Ephraim and Susan Sellers, both born 1824. In 1850
Census they are in Lancaster PA with three children,
and eventually had 8 total. I am tracing my grandmother Mae Sellers line.
Thanks for your help!

MARY, did you extract any of the
other SELLERS on the 1840 Lancaster Co, Pa
census?
esp looking for son 16 or 20?
would appreciate copies.
I only show the Ephraim Sellers
1800/10 you list below living in 1840
Leacock twn.
1850 LEACOCK TWN I only see =
Amos E Sellers Leacock, Lancaster,
PA abt 1837 Pennsylvania
John Sellers Leacock, Lancaster, PA

Ann Sellers Leacock, Lancaster, PA
abt 1831 Pennsylvania
David Sellers Upper Leacock,
Lancaster, PA abt 1828 Pennsylvania
Sarah Zellers Upper Leacock,
Lancaster, PA abt 1828 Pennsylvania
did
any of these families fit the 1840 census? OR do we have an Ephraim in
diff county that fits this census =
born 1800/1810?
Your Ephraim (1824) is in 1850 southwest ward Lancaster, did he come from a
Lancaster twn SELLERS?
did you have this =

Hi Marie-
Here are the Census that I've collected on Sellers down to my
grandmother,
Mae Sellers.
In 1840 Census; family of Ephraim Sellers; Leacock Lancaster CO. PA:
roll
467, pg. 357, Ephraim Sellers
-males 1 who was 10-15; 1who was 20-30; 1who was 30-40;
-females: 1 who was under 5; 1 who was 10-15; 1 who was 30-40
=
in the 1840
Census - I have only the following:
In
1840 Census; family of Ephraim Sellers; Leacock Lancaster CO. PA: roll 467, pg.
357, Ephraim Sellers
-males 1 who was 10-15; 1 who was 20-30; 1 who was
30-40;
-females: 1 who was under 5; 1 who was 10-15; 1 who was 30-40
The
search I did was based upon looking for Ephraim Sellers only - these dates
don't fit with my Ephraim however - as he was in the 15-20 age
range.
I
don't know if he does come from the Leacock Sellers - or next steps to match
him with those Leacock folks you list!
Thanks for
the listing of his death - I didn't know the dates - just assumed the
range. THANKS!
Where did
you get access to the mortality index ? valuable resource!
Mary
MARY, I believe I copied the death
from genealogy.com. My old GRS cd's list
the mortalities, ONLY for the year
of the census = 1860, etc., but, I can't
copy/paste from them.
Yes, it would be a nice resource, if
we had them all extracted for Sellers,
etc.
We should try and get these 1840
census for Sellers in Lancaster Co., Pa.
I'll check on line, but, memory =
1810 only?

HI again-
I have census data for "my" Ephraim Sellers and his family for 1840, 50, 60, 70, 80, 1900. After 1850, his wife Susan and various children are listed - I assuming he passed on sometime after the birth of thier youngest child, between 1859-60, and prior to the census where he is not listed in 1860. Let me know if you would like any of it.
A question about the data you sent me - the 1820 Index of Wills, in which Ephraim is listed "1824, Bk. b vol. 1 pg. 217". Is there more data available from this book on Ephraim? Would it be the will of his father? How does one gain access to this data?
Mary O'C
==
MARY, Yes, would like the census
extractions for Ephraim 1824 family.
There may be some info available on
the usgenweb - pa - lancaster board or a
lookup.
WE have this bible reading and I
have NO other info on. DAVID may recognize
this family and IF it pertains to
what family
I don't believe we have other info,
till we get more of these documents from
Lancaster Co., Pa.
