George W. Sellars of Mississippi and Alabama
Hello, My name is Tom Sellars and I am new to the list. I am looking
for information
on George W. Sellars, a resident of
Jasper County Mississippi from approximately 1844 to 1870. He was
married
to Mrs. Nancy A. Bradford of St.
Clair County Alabama Dec. 10, 1844. Nancy A. Bradford's maiden name
is
believed to be Langford. They had the following children:
Eliza (b.1845), Benjamin Franklin (b.1847) Margaret
Ann. (b.1848),
Julia Ann (b.1852), George Alexander (b.1853) and Josephine (b.1857). They
are last listed in the
1870 cencus for
Jasper Co. Mississippi and left there and went to Polk
Co. Texas between 1870 and 1880. Any
information on George
W. Sellars (b.abt 1815 in Alabama(?)) parents would be appreciated.

TOM, Thanks, It will help and someday it will make a
picture! Right now we
need more info
to find where these
SELLERS came from!
So papers were filed in 1852 St. Clair Co,AL and I
couldn't find SELLERS
there on 1850 census ?
There was a
David SELLERS in Dale Co, AL-
YES, an 1840 census we need.
The BURRELL SELLERS here in 1840
and MS 1850
was married in BLOUNT CO, AL in 1829.
Its a
possibility of a brother/cousin - But, don't have BURRELL connected
to parent.
Thanks for Sharing, keep posting info. marie,

Ginny:
I am working on the George Sellers family that you referenced in
Jasper
Co.
Miss. although I have not been able to place
him with another family. I
do
know that Nancy was
married before to a Tom Bradford of St. Clair Co.
Alabama. Her
maiden name was Lankford. George Sellers birth place is
shown
on census as Alabama but 1860 census show birth
place as Georgia. I have
his Civil war records which also show
his place of birth as Georgia. I
believe that he was born in Ga
and came to Ala at an early age. There are
two Sellers shown in
St.
Clair Co. in 1820 , David and Margaret. Have not
been able
to connect him with either family. In the 1860 census George is
listed with 3 more children but Nancy is in another household for
some
reason. In the 1866 state census the family is together
again except for
Benjamin who I believe was killed during the civil
war. In the 1870
census
George is not shown but
Nancy and children are. I have not been able to
determine if he
died during this time period. In the 1880 census the
children
are found in Polk
Co. Tx without Nancy. I also have been unable
to
connect Burwell with George. I have been told by others that they
were
brothers but have been unable to prove. If you are
connected with any of
this please let me know.

Georgia Fletcher [mailto:chick@blzwire.com]
To Carl Elbert Sellars of
Williamson County, IL:
Also to Thomas W. Sellars of
Walker County, TX
I was looking at your
ancestor charts and note that you have Young
Sellers from Chatham County,
NC as your 3rd great grandfather.
The only
Young Sellers that I know
that was in Chatham was the son of James Y/T
Sellers and was still living
in Chatham County, NC in the 1850 census.
Deed Records show that James
Y/T Sellers had dealings with a David
Sellers but I do not know
who he is. David Sellers is
possibly the son
of James Y/T Sellers that
died in Chatham circa 1805. Are you
sure that
David had a son named
Young?
Here are the known children
of James T/Y Sellers (I have often wondered
if the name is James Young
Sellers):
James T/Y Sellers born circa
1735 Scotland or England died 1805 Chatham
County, North Carolina
married Patience Parker, who died 1812 in Maury
County,
Tennessee
Known
children:
James Sellers, Jr. born abt
1756;
Robert Sellers born abt 1765
married Sarah Bynum; Ruth Sellers born abt
1768 married Isham Bilbrey;
Isaac Sellers, Sr. abt 1769 Orange County,
NC died 1830 Maury County,
Tennessee married Judith Johnson, this is my
Sellers line; John Sellers
born abt 1770 NC died 1824 Maury County, TN
married Elizabeth Hart;
Laird Sellers born 13 Dec 1771 Chatham County,
NC died 1862 Moniteau
County, Missouri married Anne Hackney and #2
Elizabeth Goodwin; Patience
Sellers born abt 1774 Chatham County, NC
died abt 1812 Maury County,
TN; married Wiley Griffin; Rachel Sellers
born abt 1775 Chatham
County, NC , died Overton County, TN, married John
Hammock; Young Sellers born
abt 1784 Chatham County, NC, died 1850-1860
Chatham County, NC married
Elizabeth Hackney;
The name Young Sellers is a
family name used by both James T/Y Sellers
and his brother Robert
Sellers that lived in Burke County, NC.
I would like to know more
about your Young Sellers to see if we can tie
the families
together.

Georgia:
This is what I know about
Young Sellars.
He was born about 1789 in
North Carolina. He is the son of
Judith
Sellars of Georgia
Hall County. Judith died about
1850 and left a will
naming her children as,
Young, David, James, Hiram, Catherine Green of
South Carolina, Mary Byford,
Happy Hanes, Cynthia Flynn and Nancy
Cockram. Judith was approximately 100 years of
age at her death.
She
was born about 1750 in North
Carolina.
Young Sellars is first found
on the 1830 census in Jackson
County
Alabama married to Sarah
Unknown and he is a blacksmith.
Young died between 1860-1870
in Jackson County Alabama. We
have
documents that tie Young to
his mother Judith.
Carl Sellars and I believe
that Young Sellars was married first to
Margaret Green, abt 1792 in
Caswell County North Carolina. They
are
believed to have been
married in Pendleton District South Carolina.
Margaret Green is found in
Saint
Clair County Alabama in 1820 living
close to the David Sellars
mentioned above (brother of Young).
Margaret
Sellars remarried in 1820 to
Arch Walker and died about 1849 in St.
Clair County
Alabama.
Margaret Sellars on the 1820
census had 4 children that have been
identified as Burwell,
George W., Melinda and an Unknown daughter.
Carl descends from Burwell
and I descend from George W.
Carl and I have had the DNA
test and have determined that we definitly
descend from a common
ancestor which we believe to be Young Sellars of
Alabama.
Many questions still
remain. We are not conclusive that
Judith's
husband was David or that he
was as son of Young.
There also is Ruth Sellars
that married in Hall County Georgia that we
was not mentioned in
Judith's will that we cannot tie into.
Also there is some
connection with Judith and Fayette County Georgia and
Sellars found there. These Sellars also tie to Sellars in
Tennessee.
We also have no idea where
Young Sellars was in 1820 census since he was
not listed with
Margaret.
Carl belives that our line
descends from the Robert Sellers that you
mentioned but we have not
been able to put it together at this time.
Any help that you could give
would be greatly appreciated. If
you need
any further information I
will try to find.
Thanks
