I am trying to identify Phoebe, said to be Phoebe Sellers, who married
John Campbell and settled with him in Scott County, KY, where he died
in 1793.  She later married James Denny.  Children (Campbell) included
Lindsay, Mary, James, Jane, Elizabeth, John, and perhaps others.
Mary, my ancestor, married James Wickersham, son of Isaac and
Elizabeth (Frazier) Wickersham, of Warrington (PA) and Hopewell(VA)
Monthly Meetings.

NOW we do have SELLERS/WICKERSHAMS from CHESTER CO, PA =
HANNAH SELLERS married REUBEN WICKERSHAM probably ca 1800
SARAH SELLERS married ABEL WICKERSHAM probably ca 1760's

ANY info on your WICKERSHAM'S appreciated = WHO/WHERE they are -
I haven't followed them - Which ones came to KY?

Hope we can Help each other - Other members may have info - marie, iowa

My Wickersham line, beginning with my grandmother, is:  Lillian,
William H., Milton, James, Isaac, Richard, Thomas.  James married
Sally Plunkett in Amherst County, VA, in 1793 and she apparently died
shortly before or after James moved to Woodford County, KY.  He then
married Mary Campbell, daughter of John and Phoebe (Sellers?)
Campbell.

James and Mary (Campbell) Wickersham lived in Woodford County before
moving around 1806 to Scott County.  In Woodford at that time were a
Joseph and a John Sellers.

Any help in identifying Phoebe will certainly be appreciated.

n your Nov. 10 posting regarding Phoebe Sellers you include this item
regarding Lindsay Campbell:

"KY REV WAR PENSIONERS OF 1818 = LINDSAY CAMPBELL, CHILDREN #886"

I wonder if this list included the children of soldiers killed in the
War of 1812.  The Lindsay Campbell who was the son of Phoebe
(Sellers?) Campbell apparently died in 1813 and is probably the one
who served in the 10th Reg't (Boswell's), Kentucky Militia.  Whether
he was killed during the war is not known.

This Lindsay Campbell is the one who married Fanny Graham in Scott
County, KY, in 1806.

Phil Ellsworth

PHIL - This list didn't give any names - It did state= Sergeant, pension
commencement on May 11th 1813 - per month = 4 and annum = 48 -
     but, seems they should be on a  record somewhere!
Could try and read his 1812 war file - sometimes Not much info - But, we
don't have too much to lose ?

PLEASE - send us the names/ages of the kids of MARY CAMPBELL and JAMES
WICKERSHAM and Who married and Went Where -

Checked Several - Not all 1850 census for campbells this age to show place
of BIRTH =0
I did Not check VA info much - some is on film- but, much on line now

The IGI chart I checked didn't list ANY Source and NO info = Believe it
said REMOVED -
But, can't you get the name/address of submitter and contact ? PLEASE try
- Most people Don't send a name without some info = MayNot Also prove out
- But, we can try -
THANKS for sharing , marie, iowa

I am sending this to you rather than the list because I am reluctant
to inflict more Campbell and Wickersham genealogy on the Sellers list
members without knowing for sure that Phoebe was a Sellers.

James and Mary (Campbell) Wickersham had three fairly certain, but
perhaps five, sons.  No daughters have been identified.  The
uncertainty occurs because of uncertainty in the date of marriage of
James and Mary, which may have been before 1800 and was certainly
before 1810.  The children are:

        Josiah, b. 1790-1800, probably in Woodford County, KY; d. ca.
1849 in Sangamon             County, IL.  Josiah could be a son of
James' first wife, Sally Plunkett.

        John Hawkins, b. 1805, probably Woodford County, KY; d.  St.
Louis, MO.

        Isaac, b. about 1806, probably Woodford County, KY; d.
Carthage, Jasper County,                 MO.

        Milton F., b. about 1814, probably Scott or Harrison County,
KY; d. Chicago, but lived             from about 1845 to 1870+ in
Springfield, IL, and is buried there.

        Lindsay C., b. about 1817; not known from any family tradition
but suspected as a son         because of name.  Mary (Campbell)
Wickersham's oldest brother was Lindsay                      Campbell.
Lindsay Wickersham  is known from only two records:  (1) A Henry
County,         KY, marriage bond for the marriage of Sarilda
Wickersham to Elisha Rouch, dated 10-        13-1845, and (2)  the
1850 Henry County census which lists L. C. Wickersham, age 33,
saddler, b. KY, Sarah Wickersham, 32, b. KY, Frank P. Wickersham,  6,
b. KY, and             Catherine Wickersham, 4, b. KY, all in the
household of Capt. John Berry.

        Josiah m. Patsy Rucker
        John Hawkins m. Sarah Ann Owen
        Isaac m. (1) Catherine George, (2) Christiana ----
        Milton F. m. Susan Ann Tunnell
        Lindsay C. m. Sarah ---

Carlah,

The Phoebe Sellers item you sent appears to be from IGI.  There are a
number of others for brothers and sisters of Elizabeth naming John and
Phoebe (Sellers) CAmpbell as the parents.  I know of no other
documents identifying Phoebe and that is my immediate Sellers
objective.  Incidentally, Elizabeth married David Achison, as shown by
a burned Scott County, KY, deed.

Thanks for your help.

======

I don't have a copy of the 1810 Scott County census but suspect that
any children in the James Denny household must be grandchildren.
James signed his will on 11 April 1811 and died before August, when
Phoebe and others signed probate papers.  Here are some of the names
that appear in the Denny probate papers:  Lindsay Campbell, Joseph S.
Norris, Christopher Denny, Sally Denny, Stephen and Catherine Ritchey,
F--- and Jane Denny, Lewis and Sally Denny, Alexander Curry, Elizabeth
Hatton, Sam Denny, Nancy McHatton, Jeremiah Williams, Hugh Alexander,
John R. Wheatley, Edward Hendrix, Aaron Denny, Fielding Denny, Ruth
Denny.  Perhaps some of these will be recognized as having Sellers
connections.

"Campbell     Guardianship:  James Campbell is appointed guardian to
Malinda, Harriet, and John Campbell --  infant orphans of Lindsay
Campbell, dec'd.  Security:  Nathaniel Campbell.  May, 1817. Pg. 247.

This Nathaniel Campbell may be the one who married Jean Chambers in
Harrison County on 9/4/1807.  I don't know how or if he was related to
Lindsay, but he is not named among the heirs of John Campbell.

Some of the children of John and Phoebe can, I believe, be traced in
the IGI records.  However,  I have felt that the first priority is to
prove the identity of Phoebe.

Hi Phil,

Sellers Run in Harrison County was named after Lt. John Sellers who came to
the area in 1776 from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania with Capt. John
Hinkson. A grant for 1,400 acres was issued to John Sellers and James
Powers
(also from Cumberland County) for the land in 1786. John Sellers later
settled in Woodford County after selling off the land by 1793. Part of the
town of Cynthiana was founded on a portion of this land which was purchased
by Robert Harrison, it was named after Cynthia and Anna Harrison his
daughters. A picture of Sellers Run is at:

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Trail/3320/Sellers1/sellersrun.jpg

A map of the survey is at:

http://www.shawhan.com/map.htm

This is probably more than you wanted to know. See ya.

Jim Sellars

I have a DENNIS campbell b:15 jun 1822 =Bourbon County, Kentucky along with
his sister Mary Ann Campbell B:1825.
Their Parents were killed by Indians when Mary Ann was & 7 years old.
Dennis and Mary hid in the woods and watched. They were born to JOHN
Campbell JR. s/o
John Campbell Sr. and ? Sellers( this is where Carlah's 2 familys join=i
think)
I have traced Dennis and Mary Ann:
Kentucky= both born
Tenn=dennis = mary=believed to have married twice #1=Elisha Dorman #2
Sellers( a military man)lost mary at this point
Illinois=1850 census
Missouri=dennis=mar:1865 dent co.=d:1897 wright co
dennis married a lavinia (mrs. simmons=war widow of john simmons)
Is there anything/anywhere else I can look?
I will search record if you tell me how to do it.
I have war record and census on only dennis and widow's pention records
do you need these?

I found this in the Aug. 1, 1799, edition of the (Lexington) Kentucky
Gazette. I'm not a relative, but
since I had to type this up anyway for somebody else, I thought I would
post it to help someone. I
would like to hear if anyone knows what happened to Lindsay.

Four Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, in Harrison county, at the Rocky Spring,
two apprentice boys,
bound to the wheelwright trade. One,
THOMAS MILLHOLLAND, is about nineteen years of age, 5 feet 10 or 11
inches high, fair
complexion, and light hair, had with him two waistcoats, the one scarlet
foreparts, and linnen back,
the other is striped lensey foreparts, and back of deep blue cloth; a
short coat of store stuff, striped
balck and green; a new wool hat; one pair of buckskin overalls, and some
other cloathing of linnen;
likewise a good fiddle.
LINDSAY CAMPBELL is about 18 years of age, five feet, four or five
inches high, dark
complexion, and dark hair; had cloathing as above described.--Whoever
delivers said boys, or
either of them; or secures them in any prison, so that I get them again,
shall receive the above
reward, paid by me,
Lindsay Azby.
N.B. All persons are forewarned from harboring them, as they shall be
punished with the utmost
rigor of the law.
=========
HARRISON CO, KY, MARCH 1816,
HENRY SELLERS, David MCKEE, James MCMURTRY were witnessess to the will
of
LINDSEY AZBY
Never did find out who this Henry SELLERS was did we?
And don't believe we ever found any other AZBY info (could be a
different spelling?)
Will check our HARRISON CO, KYpage and see
marie, iowa

I'M sure someone Needs Origi nal Files on these CAMPBELLS -
SOMEONE probably Did Not Pull PHOEBE SELLERS name out of the Air - They
found it on a

SHERRY, wasn't ENES MCDANIEL of early 1800 or before Bourbon/Bracken? KY
wife FRANCES CAMPBELL?
have we ever followed up on her CAMPBELL lines?
ALL these counties were kinda the same ca 1793 when JOHN CAMPBELL died-

marie, iowa

SHERRY - fast glance, don't know if I saw the Isabelle marriage - Maybe
Before KY?
IF she was the Mother to the Kids on ENOS MCDANIELS 1802 BOURBON CO, KY
WILL with wife ISABELLA

ENOS MCDANIEL married FRANCES CAMPBELL, JUN 15, 1797, BOURBON CO, KY
Is that the county you have bondsmen,security on?

BUT, she could be the FRANCIS MCDANIEL will of 1826/ 1829 probate HARRISON
CO,KY
I don't know if this is male or female? Census in 1820 may show ?
No Wife or Husband shown, just kids-
Saw these here before and don't think ever followed thro.

THESE COUNTIES all lay next and were made from same land (on certain
waters/creeks,etc)

I just discovered the website!  On "Phil's Page" where I gave
Warrington and Hopewell as origins of James Wickersham, Warrington is
a Friends Monthly Meeting in York County, PA, and Hopewell is a
Monthly Meeting in Frederick County, Virginia.  James went from
Hopewell to Amherst County, Virginia, where in 1793 he married Sally
Plunkett.  Just when she died isn't clear, but some time before 1810
James married Mary Campbell.  James' parents,Isaac and Elizabeth
(Frazier) Wickersham, left Hopewell in 1802 and settled in Jefferson
County, Ohio, where Isaac established the first hand grist mill.

The Sellers organization is the most active I have encountered,
probably because of you.  I just sit at my computer and watch
information come in!  It's great. I hope I do turn out to be a
Sellers.

Jim,

I'm not sure I thanked you for the information about Sellers Run and
the site with the great picture.  We haven't found out who Phoebe was
yet, but I'm still hopeful.  I will have to go to the LDS family
center and track down whoever identified her as Phoebe Sellers.

Thanks again.

Hi Phil,

I checked my Sellers database and didn't find a reference to Phoebe
Sellers. I'm sure she's not related to the Sellers of Sellers run. I have a
pretty complete listing of this line. She may be related to the Henry
Sellers of Harrison County. I don't have any information on him, I just
know he's a different line not related to mine. Happy hunting.
