these pictures were
collected by my aunt (Jewell Leinneweber Choate) and her mother
Rosalie Leinneweber Sellers.
My cousin Ann Choate got interested in family from her
mother, Jewell. I went down one summer, we dragged the boxes out of
hiding, and as best we could sorted and organized.

John Sellers the youngest son of Elizabeth Perlina.

I also have a cousin now moved away from the town where we grew
up. His side of the family kept handwritten diaries from -- as I
remember it -- the early 1920's through the early forties. These are
sitting molding. I tried and tried to get him to ship them to me so
I could at least transcribe them, but he would not. A crime against
family, but what can you do. Maybe he will let me have them long
enough to transcribe if I am there.

Re: Allen Cedora SELLERS
We have been unable to document any origin for our Sellers line.
Allen Cedora SELLERS (b. November 09, 1847 in Mississippi;
d. January
29, 1918 San Angelo, Texas.)
They moved to Texas prior to 1854 and lived
in Williamson County, Texas in
1860 and 1870. He was a Civil War veteran.
Married Elizabeth Perlina BANTA (b. April 05, 1846 Clarksville,
Red
River, TX; d. November 29, 1935 San Angelo, Texas) on
October 10, 1871 in
Fayette Co.,Texas.
Allen Cedora SELLER's father may have been Allen D SELLERS
born about
1818/25, in South Carolina married to Eliza Ann unknown.
Any help appreciated greatly.

From:
Terri Leinneweber <mterril@pipeline.com>
I am a grandaughter of Rosa Lea Sellers who is
a daughter of Elizabeth
Perlina Banta McDonald Sellers. Juanita DaCosta was married
to my first
cousin once removed, Eric Edward Sellers. In addition,
my maternal first
cousin Wanda Jo Webb was married to Eric's brother, Ivan Sellers.
I have not been into family history for long. I have looked
at all
Juanita's posts.
I was looking for a "place" to start, since the death certificate
for Allen
S. Sellers is so messed up. Juanita is right about that.
I have Elizabeth Perlina Banta McDonald Sellers (EP) pretty well
established. She was born in April 05, 1846 in Hunt Co, TX.
Her history
ties in with a much published, documented line going back to the
1600's in
New Jersey. Her first husband, Zachariah McDonald Jr., was convicted
of
murder in Fredericksberg, Gillespie Co.,
Tx. in 1870, and was sent to
Huntsville prison to serve a life sentence, and in fact died there.
I was
able to retrieve all the trial documents from Gillespie county (bless
those
meticulous Germans!). I have pasted his prison transcript
below because I
found it fascinating.
At any rate, EP then married Allen Sellers. The marriage license
was
issued in Freestone County Tx, October
10, 1871, and Jim D. Miles, JP
joined them in marriage the same day. (I have a copy of the marriage
license). I have not yet been able to come up with any record
of divorce.
Her Civil War Pension Application states that she and Allen married
on
October 10, 1872 (sic) in Navarro. I have been unable to locate
any
Navarro in Freestone County, but perhaps the county lines have changed.
Family legend has it that she and Allen knew each other from childhood,
but
that has not been documented.
I next show on the 1900 census, EP and Allen married and living
in Hays
County, TX, with Eliza Barker Banta McDonald, who is EP's mother
(father is
Isaac Banta who died in 1855). Eliza Barker Banta McDonald's
second
husband was Zachariah McDonald Sr., the father of Zachariah McDonald
Jr. I
don't recall offhand what the documentation for this marriage is,
but I am
pretty sure that it is correct.
I next have the Civil War Widow's Pension Application for Elizabeth
P.
Sellers. In this application she states that her husband full
name was
Allen Sidoras Sellers, that he died Jan. 31, 1918, and served in
a
Mississippi regiment in the Civil War for 3 years. She does
not know when
he enlisted, nor under whom he served, but states that his service
ended
with the end of the War.
I have all the children of both EP's marriages, and a considerable
amount
of "contemporary" information. EP was interesting in a religious
sense;
she was first a Campbellite, then converted to the Christadelphian
faith
(same as Lyndon Johnson's mother -- my cousin Joe Banta is still
a
practitioner, and has copies of the write up from their church publication
of her conversion. Very interesting stuff). I presume her
Sellers children
were brought up in that faith. Additionally one of her McDonald
daughters
was captured by and lived with "the Indians" for a number of years
(newspaper article had no further info as to what Indians).
All that aside, I have to get to the NARA office to get copies
of the 1860
Williamson Co., Tx, and 1870 Fayatte
Co., TX census records unless I can
print them from Genealogy.com, and write to Hays
County to see if I can get
a copy of the birth certificate for Allen Sidoras that Juanita refers
to.
I might be able to use Ancestry Com to search for Allen Sidoras'
siblings
during the unknown years. (1870/1888).
If I am able to get these records in order, I can send you copies
if you
are interested. I would really like to get this family line
documented;
after I am able to get copies of all the stuff mentioned by Juanita,
I will
probably come back to you to ask you how you think I should proceed
from
where I am then, if you wouldn't mind giving me some advice at that
point.

TERRI,
Thanks,
this should be sent thro our SELLERS discussion group so others
working on these
COUNTIES in TEXAS that are close to these SELLERS may find us AND
we could find a
New Lead?
BUT, yes you can write ME anytime, anything and tell me if PRIVATE
or NOT to
PUBLISH , etc.
NOW, I Think WE KNOW all this family born in MS.
OR possibly a Close, Adjoining state ?
AND maybe ALLEN'S middle name D = ?
WE are NOT finding the INFO we NEED!
WE can't find them in 1850 on a census, etc.
JUANITA, at one time worked on the ALLEN SELLERS and LOUISA ------.
THEY are listed on an 1850 census AND don't know if followed
that family thro
1860 census? OR if it just didn't look like it connected? sorry
I have linked you
http://showcase.netins.net/web/sellerfamily/terrilein.htm
and I think you can follow thro to the census you want/need.
to some of the counties/states you sent info on and if you CLICK
on these COLORED
names they should take you there to read, then hit your BACK button,
etc.
WE do NOT have any HAYS CO, TX info.
SEND anything you collect or have extracted.
OTHERWISE, we may have them on each census to 1890 OK, CHEROKEE NATION.
IT aPPEARS that ALLEN D. SELLERS 1818/25 MS had a brother JAMES
E. 1830 MS.
There was a JAMES E. SELLERS married 1848 COPIAH , MS that we haven't
followed up on.
There was an IRVINE SELLERS 1828 MS that was in 1850 PERRY CO, MS
= no info
DO YOU have the NATF 80 form Info of CIVIL WAR on ELIZABETH P. SELLERS
#35447 on
ALLEN SIDORA SELLERS in TAYLOR CO, TX?
or JUST this extraction.?
IF she collected PENSION, the PENSION FILE, may give us MORE info
we need.
YOU may be able to get form on line = about $15 to get copies of
pension file =
THIS is what we need, IF she collected pension.
DO search on CW or ADVISE.
HOPE this HELPS us ALL and thanks for sharing, marie, iowa

No, but I do have her full pension application etc., from the Texas
State
Archives. Confederate pension records are generally obtained
from the
states, not the NATF as I understand it.

There is no further information about Allen in the pension
application. She just did not know or did not remember when
she was
applying. The pension records normally contain a query to
determine if
there is any war record for the CW soldier through which the
pension is
being requested. In her case, the local authority swore that
she was a CW
widow, and it looks like they did no further validation.
Her first
husband had also served 4 years with her brother; that service can
be
documented.
I confirmed the married name of one of her children from the pension
application. She did eventually collect pension.
I can mail you copies if you are interested. It is quite long
as there
was a problem with one of the payments she received -- it took 2
years and
many letters to finally straighten it out. Or, I could scan
it it, but it
would be a huge file to post on the web.

>TERRI,
>Sounds like info from a civil war pension.
Info is from Elizabeth Perlina Banta McDonald Seller's application
for a
pension as an indigenous widow of a Civil War Veteran.
>I do NOT know what a STATE file shows.
>vs a FEDERAL FILE
In the case of Confederate veterans, the pension was a state pension,
not a
federal pension. The federal government was not giving pensions
to those
who fought against the Union.
>I do KNOW on REV WAR FILES a STATE extraction is NOT the same as
the

Yes, I do know this.
>I do KNOW most States Civil War files do Not show this much info.
>TEXAS , does Show some Extra Info in Some of their files.
LOL. I have only looked at Texas Civil War Files. All
my relative who
fought for other states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, etc.)
moved to
Texas after the Civil War, or actually fought while residents of
Texas.

I will send and see. However they only let you put in one application
at a

For pension purposes, they are definitely different.

As far as I can determine, Allen S. never applied for a pension.
His wife
did as a widow. However, this opens a new line of inquiry.
I will send
look in the Texas State archives (online search exists for this
purpose)
and see if any of the other Sellers applicants might possibly be
related.
>THANKS for understanding What we Need and Helping.
I live in New York City; there is a NARA office here. It has full
census
records, and some other stuff particularly related to NY.
There is also an
LDS site which is very cooperative about sending for film and fiche.
And
the public library has a large genealogy section, but mostly related
to NY
of course.
My problem is time, since none of these are available on Saturday
or
Sunday. However, I am taking a week off in August, and I will
spend my
time looking through all the available records. I will make
it a point to
make the Sellers my priority that week. I contacted you now
to be sure I
had a clear idea of how I should focus my time.
Marie, if you send me your snail mail address, I will send you a
copy of
this pension file, and a copy of another for an ISAAC Sellers, that
I have
not been able to connect.
Were you able to read the Census snip I sent you?

(NOTE:
I have no documentation for this birth;
I talked to my first cousin Ann Choate (not on the Sellers List so
far as I
know) who lived all her life with the one of our family members
(her mother
-- my father's sister) most interested in the family history.
Ann was well
aware of the move to the Indian Territory of my Allen's father Allen
with
some of Allen's brothers and uncles although she had no documentation.
Based on that, I am pretty sure that we have the right group in
the 1900
Census.
It goes like this:
1860 Williamson County Texas Census shows
Allen (D) and Eliza with children:
Allen S. age 13
John R. age 11
Mary E. age 9
James E. age 7
Phelix age 3
Margaret 4/12 born in Texas
1870 Fayette County Texas Census shows
Sellers John, age 20
married to Eliza J. (born in TX) unknown living in dwelling
699 and head
of family 659 -- This should be John R. from 1860 census.
Sellers, Allen age 52 is in dwelling 700, head of family 660
married to Eliza Ann unknown
with children
James age 16
Felix age 13
Margaret age 10 Born in Tx
Jeff Davis age 7 Born in TX
Allen age 22
All the above born in Mis unless stated born in TX
We haven't found any of them in 1880 census yet.
Allen S. married Elizabeth Perlina Banta McDonald Sellers in 1871.
We may
eventually find them in 1880 census, but I know that they travelled
to Hot
Springs New Mexico for the Hot Springs for Elizabeth's skin condition
(based on my medical history, I would guess psoriasis), every couple
of
years so maybe they missed.
From dates of birth in 1900 census, it looks like they moved
to the Indian
Territory around 1885.
Forget 1890.
In 1900, in Ok. Territory, I have posted all the records I found
in the
Chickasaw Nation for what I believe is our Sellers - ages match,
places of
birth match the Texas Census records of 1860, 1870.
In ED 183, we have Household 159, family 159 as Jeff D. Sellers,
with all
of his children listed, and showing Allen Sellers, father, age 74
and James
E. Sellers age 69 living with them.
In ED 166, we find Sellers, John R, married to Liza J. in household
56,
family 59.
Children are James W. age 13, Eva, age 12, Lyla M. age 10,
all born in
Indian Territory.
In household 57, family 60, we find Sid Sellers, age 18, born in
Texas in
July 1881, father born in Miss, mother born in Texas, which matches
with
John R. and Liza J -- so I am pretty sure this Sid is their son.
Sid is
married to Clara in the census and this marriage is the farthest
back that
Terri Carr's information goes.
I would like to SEE this child of TERRI CARR'S connected TO ALLEN or
? family.
Plain/Simple so I can SEE on census.
Maybe she will send a connection chart
Maybe it is in your message and I didn't Study closer?
I WOULD NOT give up on 1890 = don't know if available for those states.
ALSO, some STATES/not Federal have 1885 and 1895 census.
AND was someone in CIVIL WAR?

My thanks to Juanita DaCosta for locating Allen S.Sellers' father in
Oklahoma! I was able to go to NARA office today and get copies of 1900
Census records.
Does anyone have any idea if there is anyway to get something done about
unreadable microfilm in the census records? Will the National
Archives
refilm? It seems a shame that you go to all the work to get there
to get
copies, and find part of film is just not readable.
Anyway, I agree with Juanita about James N. and John R. also being sons
so
I am pasting the records below. I think Sid is a grandson of
Allen D. I
also had time to take a quick peek at 1910, and it looks like some
of them
may be there also. I'll try to get back next week to check and
take copies.

TERRI, I believe James E. Sellers 1830MS is only documented brother of Allen
Sellers 1819 MS
(James and John were sons of Allen )shouldn't use memory!
What info do we have on James E. Sellers 1830? We have him on a 1900 census.
Other census = ?
I saw a JAMES SELLERS in TX civil war and also MS civil war.
Do we have these files? should have.
I don't believe I saw in Pension files! but, should try.
Please make a chart on him also. And follow his kids thro also.
I wish we could find more MS documents = wars, land, etc?
This is what may prove family.
THANK YOU for helping.
marie, iowa
TERRI, great.
I send all requests thro our SELLERS discussion group, so you will see anyone you may be interested in. That would probably be the time to write and donate.
But, I think we should let all know we have willing sponsers.
Maybe we should let them know the areas? I haven't tried that yet.?
THANKS, appreciate your help, marie, iowa

What I meant about off list is that if you need financial help for
someone that would do a DNA but can't afford it, I would always be
willing to put something in the pot for the DNA. I just don't want
to volunteer on the list, but if you think money is holding someone
from a line we don't have back, I'd be willing to do pay for part of
the test. Or if it doesn't happen frequently, all of the test.
