THE HARDY SELLERS FAMILY
1. Hardy Sellers, Sr. was born Johnston County, North Carolina 2 March 1757, and died
in Chesterfield County, South Carolina 17 January l@35.
His burial place is not known suspected it is the old Sellers graveyard behind
Hopewell Baptist Church, Chesterfield Count South Carolina. Search has
failed to yeild his parents names.
It is not known when Hardy came to Chesterfield County,but it was here he
joined the Revolutionary Army in 1776 and served also in 1777, and also a volunteer
for three months at the time Charleston was taken. (Application for Pension
is on file in the Anson County court House.)
In 1784 he received a grant of land of 15 acres in what is now Ruby, South Carolina.
Over the next three decades he received State Grants for over 650 acres of land around Ruby. He owned the earliest mill, Sellers Mill, in that area.
Hardy married at a young age and from 1774 until 1800 had a large family consisting of four sons and five daughters. His first wife, name unknown, died before 1824 and Hardy married at the age of 72 to Lavinia Gulledge, daughter of Reverend Joel Gulledge, and Zilpha (Huntley) Gulledge. Lavinia was also sister to Hardy's son-in-law, Jeremiah Gulledge. Lavinia was 19 years of age when she married Hardy. They had two children.
In 1834 Hardy applied for a pension for his services in the Revolutionary
War, which was
denied.
The children of Hardy Sellers by first wife were:
2 i. John Sellers went West
3 ii. Abraham Sellers mar Mary
Norwood and moved to Mississippi.
4 iii. Phillip Sellers
5
iv. Richard Sellers went West
6 v. Mary Sellers mar Thomas Gaddy
7 vi. Phoebe Sellers mar Jeremiah Gulledge
8 vii. Jane
Sellers mar -------Briley
9 viii. Daughter, name unknown - nev
mar
10 ix. Daughter, name unknown - nev mar.
It is my opinion there was at least one, if not two other sons. The
1790 census shows William who left that area before l8lO,andMatthew who has his
own household by1900.
Matthew could be another set of Sellers.
'Ihe above sons were all that were named in the will.
4. Phillip, son of Hardy and -?- Sellers, was bom
ca 1774 and died between 18341836, mar -?-.
Not a lot is known about
this Phillip. He received a State Land Grant of 300 acres -in 1808,
adjoining his father in Chesterfield County,.and in 1816 he received 80 acres
more near there. 'fhe majority of his land was sold for taxes in January
1837.
If Phillip left a will, it has not been located, but a land
transaction after the Civil War tells us he gave land to at least one of his
sons. It is believed Phillip is also buried in the old Sellers
graveyard. The name of his wife is unknown. Between 1774 and 1810
they had a large family of seven sons and five daughters.
The children of Phillip and ---? ---Sellers,Sr.were:
11 i. William Sellers
12 ii. Phillip Sellers, Jr.
13 iii. Rollen/Roland
Sellers
14 iv. Hardy Sellers, Jr
15 v. Elijah Sellers
16 vi. John M. Sellers
17-18-19-20-21, unknown daughters.
11. William, son of Phillip Sellers (#4). It is believed this William is the one who mar Gilly Eddins and went to Alabama. A receipt is in the Equity Records of William Eddins that William, Abraham and Roland signed, and it is stated they are brothers. However, Hardy named Abraham as his son.
The children of William and Gilly were:
22 i. Son - name unknown
23 ii. Son - name unknown
24 iii. Daughter - name unknown
12. Phillip, Jr., son of Phillip Sr. (#4)
mar Mary E. Gulledge, dau of Rev. Joel Gulledge,
sister to
Lavinia and Jeremiah Gulledge. Phillip died, after 1840.

(This family has been extensively researched by M. T. Gathings and Marie G. Wiggins).
13. Rollen/Rolin or Roland, son of Phillip
Sellers, Sr. (#4) b 1794 d 9 March 1848, mar
1) Margaret Eddins, d
1841, cause unknown, dau of William and -?- Eddins. Roland served
in the War of 1812, and it is from the papers his second wife applied for
a pension, that we have
so much information on this son. While
we do not know if Phillip left a will, we do know that
Rollen
did. It was mentioned in a deed between Roland R., Phillip A. and Riley
that he had left
the land to them in his will.
Rollen is said to be buried in the Sellers graveyard near Hopewell Church,
Chesterfield County. This was a large cemetery, and most of the markers
were made of wood, and said to have been beautifully carved. A farmer set
his field on fire one day, the fire got out of control and reached the
graveyard, burning all of the wooden markers.

Roland R. was in
the Civil War, joined the Confederate Army in Brunswick
County, NC and must have been killed during the war as no evidence can be
located that he returned home.
After Sarah's death there was a large
lawsuit over her estate.
Her father's will left his property tied up
and Sarah still had not collected her portion at her death.

Yvonne,
Are you looking for a book called the 'Descendants of Hardy Sellers' which was compiled by James C Pigg? According to the description he acknowledges the assistance he received from the late Marie Gulledge Wiggins and many others, on this line. He states that she had forwarded a book to him which she had started and shortly before she passed away, sent all her Sellers material to him, knowing she wasn't going to be able to finish the work and told him to do what ever he wanted with it....
http://www.pigggenealogy.com/index.htm with places to look at what he has and an order form which is at: http://www.pigggenealogy.com/order_form.htm
I did order the book and since there is an index could look up specific names if you or anyone would like.
Sincerely, Linda

LINDA, thank you.
I hope she got to see it in print before she passed. She wanted to Share with
all of us. And JIM PIGGS got it on paper/published!
We/I only have extractions from her and Brenda/Anson Co., NC. Have a couple
SELLERS/RATCLIFF document pages here I should try and get scanned for our SELLERS
pages.
She had many pages of census info, which I believe we have posted, but ours
, not annotated by her! She had several documents proving some families and
assuming possibilities and some unproven kids also.
I don't see much on ELIJAH SELLERS = couple civil war records, but, article/book refers to a will , etc? okay, Piggs ref = heirs of Elijah Sellers to Helton J. Sellers (1882), CAN you send extraction of that?
Thank you for sharing SELLERS.
marie, iowa
