In reply to Sherri --
This may be a help, or it could be a distraction, but here goes:
I found a Noah Sellers in my records. My Noah's father was
John Sellers
also.
Noah had a brother, George L. Sellers, who was born in Carroll
Co., MD in
1832. George L. Sellers later provided information for Beers'
History of
Union County, Ohio, published 1883 (Vol.
II, pg. 141), that his parents moved
to OH in 1836. He said his parents moved back to Maryland
in 1839. He said
his father John Sellers died in Maryland in 1879, and that his mother
died in
Maryland also. He said his parents were both natives of Maryland.
He said
his father John Sellers was a commissioned officer in the War of
1812.
Catherine or Elizabeth Weaver Sellers (Beers says Catherine, Curry
says
Elizabeth) was born 1803, according to the published information.
She and
husband had children (from Curry's History of Union
County, Ohio, published
1915, pg. 557):
1. John H.,
2. George L. Sellers, b. Carroll Co., MD, in 1832. Later
became prominent
businessman in Marysville, OH.
3. Noah Sellers,
4. Catherine Sellers, m. Richard Osler.
5. Lizzie
6. Ellen, m. Henry Grove
Three other children were reported to be deceased when George L.
Sellers
provided information for the 1883 publication by Beers.
Curry said the mother was Elizabeth Weaver from PA, while Beers said
Catherine Weaver from MD. Daughters named Catherine and Lizzie
suggest the
mother may have had both names. Hope this helps someone.

From: "Fred Sellers" <kingston@pipeline.com> I saw your message. I have in my family genealogy the name NOAH sellers. He is the son of John Sellers and Catherine Weaver. Born 1827 in Manchester, Baltimore city Md. I believe it is Catherine Weaver as there is a baptism record in the Zion church of Manchester for George Lewis son of John and Cath Sellers b 27 Nov 1832 bp 9 Feb 1833 I have a family genealogy for the Sellers with Many of the descendants of George Lewis Sellers as well as the ancestors fo George Lewis. I am not 100% sure, but believe John Sellers b 1794 is the son of John Seller Born 10 June 1764 in Hilltown Township Bucks Cty PA.Buried in Grave A07-05 in Manchester Cemetery John Seller was married to Elizabeth (Unknown) buried in grave A07-06 in Manchester cemetery. I have a family tree in the format of the Family tree maker version 7.5 I could send it to you. Have you any further information about the sellers family ??
