Also, if you aren't having luck, you should search the index by first name only...seems if no ditto's used for children, no last name for them is index'd. Good Luck everyone!

Hi Ed, The mentioned sibling, Henry Sellers, Jr., was born Nov. 1806 in Rockingham county and died in Dec. 1857. Henry, Jr., married his 2nd cousin, Rhoda Sellers, on Sept. 29, 1836. Rhoda was the d/o John Pirkey Sellers and Eve FIFE (Phifer?). Henry, Jr.'s grandfather, Adam Sellers (1742 - April 1821), was a younger brother of Rhoda's grandfather, John Sellers (1735 - March 1804). Rhoda died circa 1843. No issue has ever been found for them, and there is no evidence whatsoever to even suggest they had children. According to Rockingham county court records Henry's siblings filed suit after his death in the "latter part of 1857 at his residence in Rockingham county" to contest his will. In the suit the siblings stated that "At the deceased time 1857 a paper writing purporting to be the last will and testament of said HENRY SELLERS was admitted to Rockingham County court. HENRY SELLERS at the time of the date of said writing was a person of unsound mind and utterly uncapable of making a last will and testament." Two of Henry's siblings petitioned the court for a "trial by jury to ascertain whether any, and if any, how much, of said papers writing be the will of HENRY SELLERS." >From what I could gather Henry was likely epileptic and was "given to fits and seizures" from time to time. Of Henry's siblings, John and Anna (Sellers) BURNER contested the will for the reasons above and named the remaining siblings as defendants. Henry's sisters, Elizabeth Sellers, Mary (Sellers) SOWERS, and Anna Persilla (Sellers) MAGGART "answered" the Chancery by stating that Henry was indeed given to fits but "was of perfectly sound mind and understanding" when he wrote it. Elizabeth, who never married, remained on the family homestead with Henry until his death, and she further testified that Henry "... executed said will freely, willingly and understandingly and that its provisions are in accordance with his often expressed intentions in regard to the disposition of his estate". I have not found the final disposition/outcome of the suit brought against Henry's will nor have I ever found an actual copy of Henry's will. Most of the Rockingham county wills were burned during the Civil War and lost forever. The 1858 Chancery record did state that an official copy of Henry's will was filed with the "Bill of Complaints". Whether the Chancery record itself and the "bill of complaints", along with a copy of Henry's will, actually survived the Civil War is unknown. I have not had the opportunity to chase it further than this.

Jennie and T. M. Dobbs are on the 1930 Jackson County, Oklahoma Census with son Verner (or Vernon?) and son Wiley, and I see that the information you sent included a Vernon and a Willy Dobbs, so likely the same couple. However, the 1930 Census has Jennie's parents as born in Alabama, and T. M. 's dad being born in TN, Mom in Illinois. I have put out a call for an obit, but nothing back yet. Did hear from a lady (Cheryl) who sent me the link to the above census from Ancestry.com. She seems to be a relative of either Jennie or T.

My wife and I recently joined forces with the Warren County, Ohio Gen Soc. in Photographing a local cemetery. We found a George W. Sellers buried here. We were recently asked to do an article for the Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal [OSWGJ] which is published by the Ohio Genealogical Society. The article is about the 3 Civil War soldiers buried in this cemetery. I am doing great on 2 of the soldiers but unable to find info on George. George needs your help, I need your help. It's killing me that I might not be able to tell George's story and give him the remembrance he deserves. We have taken this cemetery and its occupants into our hearts, we have brought the cemetery back from extinction, we have given them names again and brought them back to life by recording them in modern day records that will be around forever. But we have nothing for George except...... George W. Sellers 1. GEORGE W.1 SELLERS was born September 27, 1827 in Ohio, and died May 12, 1864 in Civil War, Drowned in Ohio River.

In my previous email aboout Cumberland Co., PA land Warrantees issued -- Thomas Sellers survey was for 200 acres in April, 1766 and Jacob Sellers survey was for 105 acres in November 1786. The Seiler executor's warrant was for 138.113 acres in March 1824. Frank Sellers

This just came through from Rootsweb: Frank S. Falls Church, VA Cumberland County Warrantees of Land. 1750-1874. PA Archives Series 3, Vol. 24.
