  Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if the JOHN & GEORGE, sons of PHILIP SELLERS of
NORTHAMPTON
/ LEHIGH Co, PA had a brother named PHILIP who may
have possibly moved to the BURKE / LINCOLN Co area of Western NC,
then either died, moved away, or moved back to PA?

The following are two of the references made of a JOHN SAILOR in the book,
"German Speaking People West of the Catawba River in NC 1750 - 1800 &
Some Emigres Participation in the Early Settlement of SE Missouri."

There are clearly TWO different JOHN SAILOR individuals referenced in the
book, as there is one who died 5 October 1843, and thus cannot be the one
whose will of 1814 mentions his brother George and nephews, G. John and
Henry (Sellers).  I will send the references on the JOHN SAILOR who died
in 1843 in a different email as he had several siblings & it gets longer.

The below referenced JOHN "could be" the brother of George & son of Philip,
but the following land entries would, of course,  not prove him to be so:

"BURKE CO, NC:  Land Entry -  Entered 10 December 1778  - 300 acres
on Mountain Creek including improvements whereon he now lives and his
brother PHILIP SAILOR's improvements, granted 8 October 1782.

LINCOLN CO, NC Deed Book 2:788-9  -  16 February 1785 JOHN SAILOR
of 96th District of SOUTH CAROLINA sold 300 acres on Mountain Creek
granted to him 8 October 1782."

Anyone know who this PHILIP SAILOR is?  Or who the PETER SAYLOR was
for whom GEORGE LEONARD SAILOR was granted letter of administration
on estate (1762) & of whose land he later purchased thru ULRICK CROWDER
in 1767?

Hope these land / will records can be posted to the Sellers Pages.  If no
one
knows more at this time, perhaps it will ring a bell or help some one
later.

This JOHN SAILOR died 5 Oct 1843 and was married to Elizabeth ?.   The
author of the book, "German Speaking People West of the Catawba River
in NC & Some Emigres Participation in the Early Settlement of SE Missouri,"
Lorena Shell Eaker (1994), listed several misc. entries after JOHN SAILOR;
most, but probably not all of which, refer to this JOHN SAILOR's siblings
who
were mentioned in his Rev War Pension File.  Could this JOHN SAILOR be the
G. JOHN, listed as a son of GEORGE and nephew of JOHN whose will is dated
1814?  Probably not, since this JOHN SAILOR's date of birth would have to
almost as early as the other JOHN & GEORGE's as he fought in the Rev War.
Completely different line, or cousins somehow?  Who was the LEONARD
SAILOR who witnessed a deed with his brother, Zachariah in 1782?  Was he
connected somehow to GEORGE LEONARD SAILOR??

"REVOLUTIONARY WAR PENSION #9160:  JOHN SALYERS enlisted in SC
line.  He died 5 October 1843 and wife, ELIZABETH died 5 August 1843,
leaving no children but left brothers and sisters to wit: ISAIAH, MARTIN
D.,

MECKLENBURG CO, NC  Deed Book 2:374  -  14 July 1764 JOHN SAILOR
& wife ELIZABETH sold 100 acres on west Side of Catawba that he
purchased 6 July 1764.

LINCOLN CO, NC Deed Book 2:586-7  -  31 Aug 1782  -  ZACHARIAH

Author's note:  I am not absolutely positive this is just one John Sailor.
We may be dealing with two.

I compared the following posting that I found on-line to the entries that I
found in the book, "German Speaking People West of the Catawba River in NC
1750 - 1800 & Some Emigres Participation in the Early Settlement of SE
Missouri," - 1994 by Lorena Shell Eaker and am wondering..........  Were
there two different George Sellers in western North Carolina in the early
to
mid 1700's, as well as two John Sellers (or variant spellings)?  I think
probably so, since the date of death & age given below would make "George"
Sellers ONLY AGE SIX (6) at the earliest land deed records in 1762!!!  So,
which George (& the records he left behind) are from George, the brother of
John & son of Philip Henry and which/ who the other(s)?  And where did the
earlier John and George (& there were others, according to the book - - I
will post as soon as I can type up!)  come from??

I found the following posted at the internet site:
http://www.genforum.com/sellers
by searching using the words, "George and Lincoln"  :

"I was at the Froneberger family cemetery in 1976. It is located north of
Bessmer City, Gaston Co., NC. Has it been destroyed since then? There are
markers for

Anna M. Sellers
3 Jan. 1793
27 Nov. 1869

George Sellers
Died: 3 Dec. 1839  <<places date of birth approx. 1756>>
Aged 83 yrs.

This George is 37 years older than Anna. Are these the one you are looking
for?

Here are the references on JOSEPH, MICHAEL, AND CONRAD SAILOR from the
book,
"German Speaking People West of The Catawba River in NC 1750 -1800 and Some
Emigres Participation in the Early Settlement of SE Missouri," - 1994, by
Lorena S. Eaker.  In addition to what I sent previously, these are all the
references to Sellers or variant spellings that I saw in this book.

JOSEPH SAILOR & wife, CATHERINE-------(?) :

MECKLENBURG CO, NC Land Warrants  -  18 April 1767  -  250 acres on
SNIDERS Creek adj. GEORGE SNIDER & CHRISTOPHER GISE/GROSS.

1769 - Letters of Administration granted to KATHERINE SAILOR upon the
goods and chattels of JOSEPH SAILOR, deceased; securites  LEONARD
SAILOR & ULRICK CROWDER.
  <<Is this Leonard Sailor = George Leonard Sailor??  Note that GEORGE
LEONARD SAILOR on April 20, 1767 purchased land from probably same
ULRICK CROWDER which ULRICK CROWDER had purchased from PETER
SEALOR JR following the death of PETER SEALOR SR in 1762.....bc>>
 

MICHAEL SAILOR, born ca 1755, PA:

BURKE CO, NC Land Entries & Surveys:  Entry # 706  -  30 Aug 1778
MICHAEL SALOR (JR) enters 330 acres which was surveyed 26 March
1780 with MICHAEL SALOR, SR & GEORGE HENRY HOUK as C.B.
<<not sure what the author means by "C.B."  ? -  not listed in the
abbreviations index for the book…..bc>>

REVOLUTIONARY WAR PENSION #321463  -  17 July 1834 - JACKSON
CO, TN:  MICHAEL SAILORS enlisted in BURKE CO, NC.  Was born in PA
(ca 1755) and moved to NC when a child.  He was past 78 years when he
filed his claim.  After the war, he moved to GEORGIA, then BLOUNT CO, TN,
and then to JACKSON CO, TN  with the with the exception of the time he
was in MO.

Author's note:  The early land records burned for BURKE CO, NC.  No
positive
proof that this family was German.  It just seems so from the variance in
spelling.  There were also other SELLERS in BURKE COUNTY whose names
are JAMES, ROBERT, etc., and were apparently of English extraction.  There
is some indication that there were others Connected to MICHAEL's family in
BURKE COUNTY and RUTHERFORD CO, NC.  See JOHN SAILOR'S records.

LINCOLN CO, NC Deed Book 16:308 - 26 Dec 1789 -  JOHN CLOVES & wife,

Can anyone help me interpret the following entry from "Civil Action Papers
1771 - 1806 of the Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions - Lincoln Co., NC," by
Anne Willliams McAllister and Kathy Gunter Sullivan - 1989?

The same "LEONARD SAFREID & MICHAEL RUDISILL" were listed securities for
the
estate of CONRAD SAILOR on April 20, 1767.  If no one else knows if/how
SAFREID = SAILOR, perhaps I could write to the author(s) and ask them.

I believe this is info from Court Minutes of Lincoln Co, NC = acts/charges
taken
by McAllister and Sullivan in 1771-1806 (sometimes, if you read actual
minutes
they will be in chronological order/by dates.

2nd paragraph = Evidently Conrad SAILER died , maybe without will , and his
estate was to be settled and security(bond/money,msh) given by Leonard
SAFREID
and Michael RUDISILL
APR 1767

3rd paragrah = Evidently Geo RISH/RUSH is a judge or? and served these
papers,
etc on a suit vs Moses BIGGER and this is money to be paid to Geo
RISH/RUSH,
judge/sheriff, etc.
BUT, looks like NO goods, etc found to attach to by W.RANKIN,Shff. on first
attachment
THEN, George RUSH vs MOSES BIGERS to collect his debt JAN 1797

AND this debt was attached (like a lien now, msh) to 100 acres of land on
INDIAN
