Benjamin Duncan Sellers (b abt 1794, Bladen
Co, NC, d 3-25-1851 in Butler
Co, AL) married Elizabeth Ann Cromartie.
According to my relatives his
parents were Wright W. Sellers and Duncan. Can anyone confirm
this? Does
anyone have info on them, I certainly don't. According to
my relatives
Wright's parents were Benjamin Sellers (b abt 1740 in NC, d
4/1817 in NC) and Letitia Bryant (b 1755, d aft 1820). Can
anyone confirm
this? Please contact me at rberry@ratedg.com, or Ralph Berry,

Hi Ralph --
Yes, you are correct in everything you
said. Benjamin Duncan Sellers
was
a son of Wright Sellers, who in turn was a son of Benjamin (d. 1817).
This
is
confimed by both the Watters book (which admittedly is generally
unreliable)
and James Marlowe, who has done more original record research on
SE N.C.
Sellers than anyone.
