Oliver Cromwell Zeller was born in Washington
Co., Maryland, near Hagerstown. His early life is
a mystery. Even his parentage is quite uncertain. From the 1860
census we know he was born in
1833. His wife Margaret was also born in Maryland in 1833. Their
first child, Lawrence, was
born in 1856/7 so we can supposed they married shortly before that,
say 1854/5. This coincides
well with his move to Ohio in 1855. Another mystery then is where
he was in the 1850 census.
Obviously, he should have been in Maryland,
but I have not been able to find him listed with any
of the obvious possible Zeller/Zellers parents. In the 1850 census
there is another Oliver Zeller,
age 41, married to Martha whose oldest child is only 12. I believe
this to be Oliver Cromwell's
father, but Oliver would have only been 16 or 17 at this time, so
where is he?
In any case, it seems likely that Oliver and Margaret were married
in 1855 and moved west to
Ohio, settling in Seneca County in the township of Tiffin, the county
seat. For several years he
worked as a clerk, where I don't know. His two children were both
born before 1860. By 1870 he
was the Cashier at the Tiffin National Exchange Bank. He was also
prospering handily, his estate
valued at $4,600, a tidy sum in those days. He held that position
until April of 1878.
On Monday, April 23, 1878 the officers of the bank arrived for work
to discover $45,782.47 of the
bank's money was missing. So was Oliver. He had left Tiffin, with
the money, and caused the
sensation of the year for Seneca County.
The previous evening Oliver took the T., T & E railroad from
Tiffin, boarding the train at 7:10
P.M. He rode to Toledo in the smoking car, spending much time in
conversation with a Mr.
Charles Merril, of Toledo, who later related this part of the story.
At Toledo the two gentlemen
took a street car and rode down Summit Street to Adams, where Mr.
Merril got off. It is
supposed that Oliver then took the street car to the Union Depot
and took the 10:38 train to
Detroit.
In Detroit, Oliver purchased a through ticket to New York and also
a bridge ticket for crossing
Niagra Falls. This was a ruse. Oliver only used one ticket of the
through pass and stopped in
London, Ontario. It was here that detective John Norris, after several
days search, managed to
track Oliver down, in a small town outside London called Belmont.
When he drove up to the place
where Oliver was staying, he found him sitting on the porch, smoking
a cigar.
As soon as Oliver saw Norris, he cooly walked out to the buggy and
said "How are you John?"
Oliver reached out his hand and helped Norris out, ordered the landlord
to take charge of the
team, and invited the detective in. Oliver was very calm, enquiring
about his friends and
acquaintances back home and appearing as if there was nothing out
of the ordinary. When
detective Norris expalined that his purpose for being there was
to arrest Oliver and take him to
London, Oliver said "All right, but we had better wait until morning,
when the drive will be more
pleasant."
They waited until morning and then drove into London where Oliver
was arrested "on suspicion"
which only allowed him to be held for eight days or until charged.
Oliver's attorneys promptly
answered for him and he was set free.
On Sunday, May 13, Norris discovered Judge Seney in conference with
Oliver's attorney. He had
left Tiffin on Friday, having been sent for by Oliver. In all his
conversations, Norris said Oliver
never admitted to taking the money. There was no way of getting
Oliver extradited from Canada
and his arrest was most probably for the purpose of holding him
and coming to some sort of
compromise.
Eventually, a compromise was reached. Sometime before November, the
newspapers are not
clear on dates, Oliver's wife Margaret joined him, this time in
Windsor, Canada. She was
accompanied by E. T. Stickney, one of the directors of the bank
and Oliver's bondsman as
Treasurer of the School fund. Mr. Stickney managed to persuade Oliver
to give him about
$10,000, sufficient to indemnify him as security for the School
Fund. Stickney perceived also, that
Oliver was getting weary of his forced retirment and wished to return
to the States. In turn he
was visited by J. D. Loomis, President of the bank, and Directors
R. W. Shawhan and Dr. A. B.
Hovey.
During negociations it was learned from Oliver that detective Norris
had managed to extort about
$15,000 of the money during his visit in May! The bank officers
were none too happy about this
and brought pressure to bear on the wily detective, resulting in
his giving back about $10,000.
Oliver finally came to an agreement with the bank that they would
no longer hold him liable for
the money if he returned $4,200 in cash and bonds, a check for $300
back pay and all his real
estate in Fort Wayne, Defiance, Albion, Paulding and Tiffin, worth
about $15,000. Of course, they
could not guarantee that he would not be prosecuted for his criminal
actions.
And how did Oliver do out of all this? What with about $10,000 in
attorney's fees, he was left with
a little over $6,000 and had lost all his land holdings, so he came
out not only considerably in the
hole, but with a reputation indelibly tarnished.
On Saturday, November 24 he was in Detroit and from there went to
Flint, leaving his wife behind
in Windsor for a time. After that, we lose Oliver again for a few
years. He was nowhere to be
found in Ohio during the 1880 census. In 1881 he was living in Toledo
and had a job a secretary
of the C.Z. Kroh Carriage Top and Saddle factory, a job he held
until his death. It is possible that
he returned to Maryland for a year or two.
His last year or two were very unncomfortable for him. He was dying
of cancer of the bowels
and was in considerable pain. The last three months of his life
he spent at the home of his
daughter and son-in-law, Lillian and Alpheus Baichly. He died January
18, 1899 and was buried in
the Greennlawn Cemetary, in Tiffin, Ohio.

- "Among the worthy and
progressive agriculturists of Seneca county no one is more justly
entitled to an honorable place in
its history than Mr. Shidler, who wa born on the farm which is now
his home and who has been
usefully identified with the prosperity of the country in the promotion
of its agricultural interests

country his home throughout
his entire life and has been a witness of its development from the
early pioneer epoch, while his

of the Union during the war of the
Rebellion.
Mr. Shidler was born on his present farm, in Pleasant Township on
the 8th of January, 1850, being
the son of John and Annie (Sellers) Shidler, the former of whom

Rev. George W. Sellers
Residing in Section 36, Center Township,
Williams county, is Rev.
G.W. Sellers. He is not only engaged in farming, but also devotes
much
of his time to the work of the ministry, being an ordained preacher
of
the Dunkard Church. He was born near Tiffin, Seneca county, Ohio,
December 3, 1853, a son of Frederick and Hannah (Shidler) Sellers.
The
paternal grandfather, Frederick Sellers, Sr., a native of Germany,
brought his family to America in 1820, and took up residence in
Seneca
county.
Frederick Sellers, Jr., was born in Germany,
in 1817, and was
therefore but three years old when he emigrated with his parents
to
the New World. In Seneca county he grew to manhood, and throughout
his
active business career engaged in agricultural pursuits there, making
his home in that county until called to his final rest. He died,
however, in Wood county, Ohio, October 7, 1892, at the age of
seventy-four years, while visiting one of his children. His wife
survived him only about fourteen months, dying at the same age.
In
their family were seven sons and two daughters, namely: Jacob (who
died while serving in the Union army at the age of nineteen years),
David (who also served in the Union army as a private soldier),
Elizabeth, Frederick, Reuben, George W., Jesse, Anna, and Andrew.
Upon his father's farm in Seneca county,
George W. Sellers passed
the days of boyhood and youth, becoming thoroughly familiar with
agricultural pursuits and acquiring a good and practical education
in
the common schools of the neighborhood. After his marriage he remained
upon the old home farm, operating it for four years, and in February,
1881, came to Williams county. In Section 36, Center township, he
purchased his present farm of eighty acres, upon which he has made
many good imrpovements, and the well-tilled fields and neat and
thrifty appearance of the place testify to his skill and ability
in
his chosen calling.
On December 20, 1876, in Williams county,
Mr. Sellers was united
in marriage to Miss Isabella Brown, who was born in that county,
August 29, 1855, a daughter of Jacob and Catherine Brown. Mr. and
Mrs.
Sellers have four children, whose names and birth dates are as
follows: O.V., February 27, 1883; Lowell, May 30, 1885; Arthur L.
February 24, 1887; and Edith, March 25, 1890.
Mr. Sellers takes a deep interest in educational
affairs and has
most efficiently served as school director and school clerk. On
October 25, 1885, he was elected to the ministry of the Dunkard
Church, and was forwarded to the second degree October 2, 1887.
He is
a man of thoughtful, earnest purpose, of broad charity and kindly
nature, and by all who know him is held in the highest regard.

I'm searching for anyone connected to Jerome Jackson, who appears on
1880 census in Pleasant Twp, Seneca Co, OH age 23 with wife Nancy,
age
18. I have located in census index another Jerome Jackson on 1850 census
in Willoughby, Lake Co, OH who could be somehow connected to the younger
Jerome of the 1880 census.
My primary search is for Ann Matilda SELLERS who m. a JACKSON, however,
family info and searching has not yielded a first name for her husband.
I believe that Nancy could possibly be a nickname used for Ann. This
Jerome and Nancy are surrounded in Pleasant Twp. by many close relatives
of Ann Sellers.
Any assistance on identifying this Jerome would be greatly appreciated.

posted, as know you're doing a one-name search on the Sellers.
Appreciate your help! Guess I should have tried the Sellers list
first.<grin>

Hi, Martin Van Buren Sherer is my husbands GreatGrandfather, we are trying to find information on Martin's marriages and the children that he had. The information we have found so far doesn't say much about his marriages, except when we went to the Seneca Cemetery we found a headstone inscribed: McKinley Sherer b:Oct. 24, 1894, D:Nov. 4, 1894 (Son Of M.V. and L.A. Sherer); so we thought maybe the initials stood for Martin Van Buren and Louisa A.; there is a grave site at the same cemetery for a Louisa A. Sherer. I have also found on the "Decendants of Philip Johannes Bossert" site that he was to have married a Lamina Sellers, which is also buried at Seneca Cemetery. Any one with help on this would be greatly appreciated. My email is soup_robert5@sbcglobal.net, Karen
