I am trying to compile a Dewees Family ancestry.
Susanna
Dewees, b. 1 Aug 1780; m. Heinrich
Zeller in 1801; d. 24 Jan
1868. She is buried in Newmanstown, Lebanon
Co, PA. Who
were her parents? Where did they live and
die? Did Henry and
Susanna have a daughter named Mary, or Dorothea,
or Mary
Dorothea, b. 6 Jan 1804? If you can give me
any information
regarding Susanna, her parents, and/or her
children, please write.
Thank you.

Good Evening,
My name is Bill Kennedy and I am helping a friend trace is
Zeller line
in Pa. From family lore he believes that he is related to
Lady Clothilde but has only been able to obtain solid information back
to
his gggf Abram Zeller. Would appreciate any help that you could
provide.
The information that he was able to obtain is as follows:
gggf - Abram Zeller m. (possible)
Mary Young
g gf - Lemon (possibly
Lehman
or Leaman) Zeller
gf - Rufus
Zeller
father- Rufus Zeller
son
Russel
Zeller
All from Lebanon county.
Again, thanks for any help you can
provide.
Regards
Bill
Surname: SELLERS, WATSON, CLEAVER
Mary Ann SELLERS was born in Annville, Lebanon County, PA, 7 Mar 1816.
She died 6 Mar
1882 in Clearfield County. Since this was about the time Lebanon County
was formed from
Dauphin, I figure records could be either place. Her father was Joseph
SELLERS, bn 23 Feb 1784 died abt 1852. Her mother, Mary Ann CLEAVER was born
in Friendly, Tyler County, WV. This would be before Tyler County was formed.
I think they had eleven children.
Joseph WATSON and Mary Ann SELLERS were married in 1835, possibly in the Stormstown area of Centre County PA (SW corner of the county with Quaker and non-Quaker families). I know her family was in this community prior to 1935. Joseph and Mary Ann's first child was born in Milesburg, Centre Co (NE corner of the county - no Quakers) but I cannot find record of their marriage in Centre County, PA. Looks like another eleven children.
I can track the SELLERS line back to the immigrants who came to Chester
County, PA with the
Quaker immigration in late 1600's early 1700's.
Have no earlier information on CLEAVER or WATSON. SELLERS were Quaker
prior to 1800,but when and why did someone appear in WV briefly? Was there
a Quaker community is this area at that time? This line was not Quaker
by 1835. I sent a query to Tyler County.
Any help appreciated. Thanks,
Judy Heald
