My Ellen is the daughter of Sam and Eliza Peaden. I have a lot of info on the Peadens but not the Sellers. I really appreciate the info. Would you have any information on where Ellen Peaden is buried? I have her death certificate, so I have the date, but not where she is buried. The same with her husband William Henry and I also can't find the date of his death. I will be glad to share info about Ellen's family if you are interested. Thanks Susan

Surnames: Sellers Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RS.2ADI/1634.1 Message Board Post: I have done some research on the Sellers side of your family if your Ellen Peaden was the daughter of Eliza Sellers and Samuel Peaden. Eliza Sellers was the daughter of Duncan Sellers who was in Lowndes Co. Ala. in 1830 and Butler Co. Ala. in 1840 and 1850. Duncan Sellers died in the early 1850s and is buried at Sellers Cemetery in Butler Co. (My great-great and great grandparents and other relatives are buried there.). I found the following estate record of Duncan Sellers in the Butler Co. Alabama Courthouse. Probate Minutes Book 2 p. 289 15 Nov 1856 Estate of Duncan SELLERS, adm. John F. MCPHERSON settlement started Dec. 1854 Eleven distributees and heirs of said estate: Elizabeth A. SELLERS, widow Jane MOORE, wife of Isham MOORE Catherine LEE, wife of Joel W. LEE John D. SELLERS Sarah McPHERSON, wife of John F. MCPHERSON Narcissa MCKAIN, wife of William MCKAIN Eliza PEDAN, wife of Samuel PEDAN Julia A. SELLERS Daniel B. SELLERS (above all of full age) Alexander C. SELLERS, under 21 Nancy M. SELLERS, under 21 ----------------------------------- Here's my two generation outline of this family. Descendants of Duncan Sellers 1 Duncan Sellers 1796 - c.1856 +Elizabeth A. Cromartie 1800 - aft. 1880 .. 2 Elizabeth Jane Sellers 1819 - aft. 1860 ..... +Isham Moore 1812 - 1860 .. 2 Catherine "Kit" Sellers 1810 - aft. 1866 ..... +Joel W. Lee 1814 - 1861 .. 2 Sarah "Puss" Sellers 1823 - 1904 ..... +John F. McPherson 1817 - 1887 .. 2 John D. [Duncan?] Sellers 1823 - 1869 ..... +Eliza Ann Unknown (Brinkley?) 1826 - 1906 .. 2 Narcissa Sellers 1827 - aft. 1880 ..... +William McKain 1819 - 1880 .. 2 Eliza Sellers 1833 - bef. 1910 ..... +Samuel Peaden 1827 - 1915 .. 2 Julia A. Sellers 1833 - 1900 .. 2 Daniel Bell Sellers, Sr. 1832 - 1918 ..... +Margaret Parker 1838 - 1916 .. 2 Alexander C. Sellers 1838 - 1865 .. 2 Nancy M. Sellers 1841 - I have many notes on this family. I have a little booklet written by Duncan's g or gg-gd which says that the father of Duncan was one Wright Sellers, and that Wright's father was Benjamin Sellers of Horry Co. SC and, I believe, Columbus Co. NC before that. I personally cannot document anyone before Duncan, but would love to. I believe Duncan may be related to my gg-gf Brooks buried near him at Sellers Cemetery, and I did find an Edmond Brooks living beside a Wright and Benjamin Sellers in Horry Co. SC in 1810 and/or 1820.
