*Annotate from Georgia
the John Sellers with 7 children in 1800 Burke Co.,NC, is John the
son of Robert Sellers Sr. This John is the father of Abraham Sellers that
was born 1799 in Burke Co., NC. This family is nearly impossible and so
much has to be purely speculation.

Ydnar49 <Ydnar49@aol.com>
In June of 1997 I received an email from a HALL researcher who traces back
to
Sarah SELLERS & Joshua HALL (he had no dates). He had Sarah HALL b. 29 July
1796 at Burke Co., NC. She m. James Alfred TRUITT 23 January 1817. This
couple
came to Shelby Co., TX at an early date and had many "descendants". Will
provide the name of the individual who sent me this tidbit upon request.
Have
not heard from them since June, possible that they are on this list.

I was sent (from a very generous COWAN family researcher) who had among her
papers (once owned by her Aunt) an original land deed between Robert
SELLERS
and Joseph COWAN dated October 15, 1804 in Burke Co., NC. Signed Sealed &
delivered in presence of John HALL (Jurat). Can't read the other witness to
this deed.

The land was situated "on both sides of Cain Creek of second broad River"
Adjacent to property line of a George BLACK. It was a 300 acre parcel
