This is what I have about John Sellers (b.c.1750?), son of Phillip of PA.
John Sellers- settled in NC, died about 1814 in Lincoln Co.
1806 Lincoln Co, NC deed (21:516) from Alex Dickey.
His estate record lists sale of property on May 13, 1814. Purchasers were:
John, George, Elizabeth, Jacob and Peggy Sellers.
Hope I have the correct John Sellers here.

JULIE, Thanks, the numbers will make it easier to obtain a copy.
Do ANY of our members already have a copy of this DEED? that you could copy
and send to us?
Do WE have a member that lives close that could make us a copy.
ANY help in obtaining this document, appreciated.
We have a copy of the Will. But, the DEED included Other names of SELLERS.
(Maybe, it is the ESTATE settlement, we need?msh)

Need info on any Sellers in Lincoln Co, NC that descend from Phillip Sellers
(b.1724
Germany-d.1808 Northampton Co, PA). His son: George
Sellers (b.1756 PA-d.1839 Lincoln Co,
NC) md. 1st Susanna Best, md. 2nd Magdelina Schneider (?).

bonanza@nc.rr.com (March, 2001)
I'm descended from the George Sellers you mention and his third (or possibly
second) wife, Anna
Mary Froneberger. George and Anna Mary were buried in the Froneberger family
cemetery (since
destroyed, I believe) in Gaston County, NC. They
married 3 March 1818 in Lincoln Co and had as
many as eight children. (It's not proven that they are all from this marriage
though.) I am descended
from Eli Sellers 1819-1902. Newton, Philip, and Abraham all also had
children and at least some of
their descendents still live in Gaston/Lincoln Counties. Email me for more
detailed info.
=================
WHERE are these kids in 1850 or before? msh
By MINDY GREEN
bonanza@nc.rr.com (March, 2001)
The Sellers Family of Lincoln and Cleveland Counties, NC
Philip Heinrich Söllers (1698?-1769) was descended from a family of butchers in Germany. He came to Philadelphia on board the ship the James Goodwill in 1728. Travelling with him were his wife and at least one small son, Philip (1724-17??). They settled near Telford, PA. According to the DAR, Philip was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He had many children; the two eldest were George and John.
George Sellers (1756-1839) and his brother John migrated to North
Carolina during the 1790s. They settled in what was then Lincoln
County and became farmers. John seems to have had no children (he
left his property to his nephews), but George and his wife Susanna Best had
several, including a son also named George who has been the source
of some confusion. For a long time we believed we were descended
from the George Sellers who married Anna Mary Froneberger, but in actuality
that George had only one son, Philip. He died not long after the
birth of Philip. We are really descended from John Sellers
(17??-before 1850?) the son of the elder George and brother-in-law
to Anna Mary.
Not much is known about John Sellers. He appears in the 1820 and
1830 censuses, but not in 1840 and his wife Mary Rush (1800-after
1850) is listed as the head of the household in 1850. Living with
her are several of her sons, including Eli (1819-1902). Eli did not marry until
after the Civil War, in which he participated briefly. He was
discharged due to rheumatism after about half a year
- not surprising when you realize he was 45 when he enlisted. He
married Martha Lackey
(1844-1910) in 1868. She was 24 and he was 49.
Their son Thomas had a large family: thirteen children over a period of 27 years. Below is a picture of a family reunion from 1933.
