INDEX for GIBSON COUNTY TN ILLUSTRATED  1901
SELLERS Isaac   GCI     14
PAGE 14

In 1819, so far as I can find any accurate record, there were but three. These were Thomas Fite, John Spencer, and James T. Randolph. In that year Luke Biggs settled about four miles west of where Trenton now stands, and John Eubanks settled near the present site of Bell's Chapel.

In 1822 there were six families in the county. These were the families of Thomas Fite, Isaac Sellers, Luke Biggs, and John Eubanks on the west side; Oliver Blakemore and James Blakemore on the east side. David Crockett became a citizen of the region in 1822, settling a little east of where the town of Rutherford now stands.

In 1822 and 1823 settlers entered the county rapidly from Middle Tennessee, East Tennessee, and North Carolina; so that early in 1824, when the county government was inaugurated, the county had a considerable population. As evidence that North
Carolina contributed most to the settlement of Gibson County, by far the larger portion of the population of the county to-day is composed of the descendants of North Carolina ancestors. At the time of the organization of the county there were probably within its limits five hundred persons.

If you have worked out a chart on Nancy SELLERS parents, would
appreciate sharing info - I haven't tied her to anyone, except the Blair
family was closely associated with a John SELLERS in Gibson Co,  I
believe he died ca 1829.
This Robert SELLERS didn't have a child this age.

Elizabeth Sellers, whose family also came out of NC. Could this Reubin
be Reubin Jr? The Sellers family was also connected to the Forrester family
and the Fletcher family, both of which came to TN early from NC.


I am searching for the family of Issac Dunlap. Died, 1912 Weakley County,

Subject: Zellars


I found a picture of Miss Ester Zellars, Jackson TN & what a beauty she is,in my BARRETT grandparents' belongings. Maybe made in the 1930's or 1940's. They lived in on Rural Route one Medina.

I don't know how she connects to us.

My grandfather's sister Nora Barrett McCollum married a Thomas G.(Garfield) Sellers. Her death certificate states that her husband T. G. Sellers lived in Jackson, TN. Her death is recorded on her certificate as 05 Dec. 1917 though her tombstone reads 1916.

I wondered if this could be his relative & maybe someone wrote a Zellars for a Sellers/Sellars.

Hope someone if failiar with the name & can help me.

Thank you,
