My Mother's maiden name was Minnie M. Sellers...born in AR. 1919. Her father's name was Frank B. Sellers...born 7/29/1878 in Valley Falls KS, and died 7/3/1950 In Lawrence Kansas. Her mother's name was Katie Mae (Mott) Sellers...born 8/6/1878 in Nortonville, KS., and died 7/21/1949 in Lawrence, KS. They had at least 10 children...some of which didn't live long at all.

Marie & Jim, I don't mean for us to go down another path in the midst of the Lucullus Sellers discussion, however, I'm terribly interested in the mention of Delilah Sellers Davis, her siblings, and their possible connection(s) back to Rockingham county, VA. Most of the time when a Sellers traces back to R'ham county they are of some relation to me. The mention of "James Sellers 1760/70 VA" as a possible father to Delilah, brother Absalom, and another sibling, Phoebe, is a real eye opener that I'd like to explore. In his 1984 book, "A Preliminary Study of the Descendants of Heinrich Zeller", Frank Sellers wrote that Heinrich (Aug. 17, 1704 - ca. 1773) probably had a son named Henry Sellers who died ca. 1787. It has been reasoned that Henry may have had a son named James Sellers around the time frame of 1760/70 in Rockingham county, VA. Unfortunately, James has not been confirmed nor has Henry been positively proven. However, the names Delilah, Absalom, Andrew, and Phoebe were prevalent in lines of Henry's purported siblings in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Absalom was mostly in the form of "Silem" or "Silom". A James Sellers appears on the 1810 Census for R'ham county, VA, as well (page 136, line 577): James Sellars: 20010/22010 James does not appear on the 1820 Census for R'ham county, so I'm wondering if perhaps he is indeed the "James Cellers" in Harrison Co, IN, in 1820, and the "James Sellers" living next to Absalom in Lee county, IA, in 1840. I'm very interested as well in the obituary for Delilah Sellers Davis and in the info it might contain. Thanks for your patience in my rambling.

Hi Marie, Yes I did notice Barham Sellers on 1850 Census. Also noticed that Delilah Sellers Davis on 1880 census said her MOTHER was born MD while Absalom said both were born VA. A third sibling, Phoebe Sellers supposedly born in 1798 and married Giles Nance Aug. 3, 1818, possibly in Indiana. She is said to have died March 12, 1888, but I don't know where. Giles died 1854, and I don't know what became of Phoebe. Would be interesting to find her and see where she stated her parents were born. Very interested in obit for Delilah. Please advise if/when we get a copy.

JIM, thanks, just sent them a letter and will post any reply I receive. I see NOTHING in my VA records on Absalom. Mahaska, Ia connects mostly to Ky I see NO proof to John Sellers 1822 IN with son Lucullus With his parents or relation to Absalom Sellers 1808 VA in 1840 with father? JAMES SELLERS 1760/70 VA? And son ALEXANDER JACKSON SELLERS (no Andrew Jackson here that I see) Maybe on their side of family? (would you still name kids after a cousin, ? Maybe, if you lived close) ABSALOM and JAMES SELLERS In 1840 LEE CO, IA MUST be checked out.

Thank you, Pat. Frank Sellers

FRANK, thanks. This Lucullus R. SELLERS appears to be same as MADISON CO, IN and LINN CO, KS and naming his kids same as ALEXANDER JACKSON SELLERS 1844 IA, son of ABSOLUM SELLERS 1808 VA, which I believe connects to Harrison Co., IN. Just send the lineage to Jim and all. PLEASE study. IF you see anything here in IN, esp Harrison Co., IN = must be a connecting county?? YES, we will post the KY medical school records.

Not sure the first attempt worked or not. Anyway... The John and Elizabeth Sellers from Madison County, IN are in my files, though I don't have a whole lot of info. I have John Sellers as the son of Isaac and Nancy (Brandon) Sellers, Isaac being the son of Isaac and Rebekah Sellers, and Isaac the son of Samuel Sellers of Cumberland County, PA. There are doctors in that line. John Sellers of Madison had a nephew who was a doctor. This was Dr. Charles Sellers (Blackford Co., IN) son of Isaac and Emma Troxell Sellers. I have never been able to trace this line after the 1860 census. I hope this helps. Jim Sellars
