THERE is a part of LINCOLN CO, NC (Dawn, you have our county pages?)
that
was made from BURKE CO, NC =
===
A part of
Burke County was annexed to Lincoln Co, NC. The act of 1783 was
amended in 1818 ... from the three cornered Island in the Catawba River
to
the bent of Little River in James Fox's land .. agreeable to the
act of
1793 to have a portion of Burke county annexed to Lincoln
county 1779 ....
Signatures on the petition are as follows:

original petition)

==========
In ”Records of Old Macon County, N.C. 1829-1850”, compiled by Barbara Sears McRae, I found refs. to some deeds from Deed Book C (1840-43).
1146 William Sayers to Elizabeth Sherrell … Wit. James Sellars, Jael or Joel Sawyers… (Elizabeth Sherrill was sister of Jane Thompson and Joel Sawyers was brother-in-law of Jane Thompson; Jane Thompson md. an UNK Sellers)
1147 & 1149 William Sawyers to Elizabeth Sherrell… Wit. Nathan Thompson, Sr. , Joel Sawyers… (Nathan Thompson, Sr. was father of Jane Thompson)
All of above proven in Mar 1840 and registered, June 11, 1840.
1599 & 1600 James Sellars to Jason H. Hunter, Wit. G.W.F. Moore, D.R. Lowry; wit. WM. H. Thomas, G.W.F. Moore (both proven Mar 1843 and proven June 9,
1843)
Mr. Sellers who md. Jane Thompson appears to have died somewhere between 1839 and 1850 (last known child of marriage, Ruth E Sellers was b. 17 Sep 1839 in Rutherford Co. NC and Jane Sellers Thompson and entire known family were in St. Francios Co. MO in 1850). Two of the other known children, John Sellers and Margaret Minerva Sellers md. children of Rice Farrar Ross (Emily F Ross and Oliver Franklin Ross, respectively) in Coffee Co. TN. MM Sellers md. Oliver Franklin Ross, 15 Jul 1844 and John md. Emily F Ross ca. 1849). So looks like the Sellers´s may have moved to TN by 1844? Maybe James sold his land in NC prior to the move? Have in a previous mail noted a Manson Sellers living in Coffee Co. TN in 1850, age 19 b. NC (so b. ca. 1831)with wife Mary age 22 b. TN and son William age 7/12 b. TN (and with Sherrills in the neighbourhood). Manson might be a brother of MM Sellers (b. ca. 1825) and John (b. 1828) and Justiana (b. 1835) and Ruth (b. 1839) (all b. NC). The gap in ages certainly makes it possible that Manson was another child of Jane Thompson Sellers and Mr. Sellers.
Any thoughts anyone?
