Children: Sarah who m. John R. DUCKWORTH (my line); Elizabeth m. Benjamin
SIMMONS; Rebecca m. Samuel HARTLEY; Anna m. Jacob FISHER; John SELLERS died
unmarried, but left an interesting probate record that is on file with the
Washington Co., IN Historical Society; Moses W. SELLERS who m. Margaret
LITTELL; Rachel H. SELLERS m. George CAMPBELL; Joshua m. Martha HUME;
Candace
m. James CUNNINGHAM; Ambrose C. SELLERS m. Polly SHEPARD; and Young SELLERS
(no further info on him).

According to probate of John SELLERS, family members scattered far and
wide.
My line moved to Putnam Co., IN near Greencastle. My research questions at
the
moment are:

1.Is Sarah (HALL) SELLERS a dau of John & Mary HALL of Burke Co., NC?
2. Is Robert SELLERS a son of Robert SELLERS Sr. of Burke Co., NC?

Would like to hear from others researching these families. Great to see
such
an active list.

My Web site will direct you to Gendex data for those who want a closer look
at some dates, etc....Hope to add some of the SELLERS data on my homepage
this
month. 

RANDY- So Glad to have you - Yes, have added to Clark/Wash Co, INDIANA-
NOT much new on Burke Co, NC
Believe we need to check out MORE people that may not be SELLERS and study
AND
also where they went=
NOW we can make a page for SARAH SELLERS DUCKWORTH of BURKE CO,NC, dau of
ROBERT
Haven't checked out much on the HALL and we should -
I believe we have the connections of living close in BURKE Co, NC
Young SELLERS has been connected by a couple members and one found his
second wife
in IOWA with child.
Robert SELLERS jr= not LISTED on Moses SELLERS dairy!
But listed as heir on the land of ROBERT SELLERS and MOSES was Adm
AND have added more info on Robert,jr
AND more info on JOSHUA
AND more on MOSES
Contacting a lady on Clark Co, Sellersburg Cemetary - probably mostly Moses
kids
and probably?? mother Sarah, OR was she buried in Wash Co, next to Robert?

WISH we had more NC =
WHERE have you been working ?=
NEW info=

DID a little in Putnam Co, IN- Still MORE to do!
IF we eliminate some of the families as related - perhaps we can sort the
others=
OR , perhaps, we need more info on their neighbors and WHERE others came
from-
CHECK OUT  all those NC births-

A LOT of info we had on PRODIGY - is ALL on paper and NOT on web - so need
that
also AND some may be from your files!

I think combining the databases would be a good idea.

My gg grandmother was Frances Burks, married to Philip Cook in Putnam
County, Indiana 27 Aug 1829.  She was the daughter of Alan Burks.  Her
mother was probably Elizabeth Townsend    According to census
information she lists her Mother as born in SC.

The Indiana Marriage Records database to 1850 on the internet shows
Frances Burks married Philip Cooper, but it is a database entry error.
Cross reference the names and it shows Philip Cook married to Francis
Burks and Philip Cooper married to Mary Bond.  This is an error that is
being perpetuated.  It will make it interesting for research among the
descendants.

Below is a short outline of Frances Burks family.  Any additions or
corrections would be welcome.  Frances Burks Cook and family moved to
Davis Co., IA about 1850  and with the exception of Philip Cook, Jr.,
moved on to Wayne Co., IA about 1859, according to the obituary of
their daughter Sarah Jane, my great grandmother.

I am in the process of having some research done by the Wayne Co., IA
Genealogical Society and hope to have a little more informaiton on the
Iowa years.

Sincerely,

Jeannine
