CARL, thanks. don't have an exact definition for Chain Carriers. They were Used by the Surveyor to mark the land. Did they live in the area they were surveying? I don't know if we Show/Know WHO the Surveyor was? WE are missing info before this ORANGE CO, NC documents , which our info shows the THOMAS SELLERS as earliest Proven. AND we should PROVE him to someone. AT one time we had three Thomas SELLERS in NC in this time area.= don't know if any proven to where went? if so, advise. WE need a chart/time line on Each THOMAS SELLERS in NC. THIS land was made in 1752 from Bladen, Johnston, Granville and we could connect to that land. BUT in 1752, did this land lay on the VIRGINIA border? kinda looks like it may? Other counties Above it were made Later? WE should maybe check out the VA land grants with land on HAW , etc. OR where ever our land was on the grants/deeds. WE also could have lost/destroyed records that may Not let us Prove documents. BUT, we may be missing some unchecked areas. and we MAY only Prove thro War or Land Records THANK YOU all for sharing documents. marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: Sellars Shop [mailto:sellarsshop@mychoice.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 2:27 PM To: marie sellers hollinger Subject: marie, i photo copied page 3 of the 1755 tax list of orange county, nc 2-3 years ago on which is listed: thomas sellers 1-0; richard parker 1-0; peter parker & miles parker & 2 slaves 2-2; robert milton 2-0 comment. i think thomas was the oldest sellars because he had property while james, robert and sampson were chain carriers indicating young adults. i understand that teens were typically given the job of CC. carl sellars.
Hello list members - It has been about one year since I last asked about my g-g-grandparents from PA. George W Sellers and Margaret Wilson Sellers lived in Middletown, Dauphin Co., PA in the early 1800's. I know from census data that Margaret was born in 1800--no clue as to the birth date of George. I also know from several sources that Margaret and the children moved from Middletown to Hollidaysburg, Huntingdon Co. (now Blair Co.) in 1835. George was not with them. I can only assume that George died sometime between 1833 and 1835 in Dauphin Co. I have been unable to find any record of his death from the Dauphin Co. Historical Soc. or from the Clerk of Court. I have been able to track their children and grandchildren to the present time, but am unable to find the parents of George. If anyone on the list has any connection to that family, I would greatly appreciate any information you may have. Carl Sellers
Some of these Sellers and Joiners are still pretty confusing to me at this point, though I must say that is a step up from the near-total ignorance that I had about them till a few weeks ago. Jacob Benjamin Sellers' wife Georgia Ann Joiner was born in Camilla, Indian lands (I have seen birth years for her varying from 1811 to 1819). Her parents Bennett Joiner and Charity Sherrod ended up in Sumter County. Jacob Benjamin (who was born in North Carolina) and Georgia Ann married in Pulaski County in 1838 and their son Richard M. (my great grandfather after who I am named) enrolled in Company B of the 11th Georgia Infantry Regiment in Hawkinsville, Pulaski County, in 1862. In 1847 I found Jacob & Georgia joining by letter and being dismissed by letter from the Ebenezer Baptist Church at Ellaville which was then in Sumter County, but has been in Schley County since 1857. I have not yet found the family in the 1840 census. In 1850 they are in the census in Dooly County. In 1860 they were in the census in Terrell County. In 1860 their oldest son George W. Sellers was living in Camilla, Mitchell County, with the Alfred Joiner family. I'm not sure what the kinship was with Alfred. I am pretty sure that he was not a brother of Georgia Ann, so I suspect that he was probably an uncle or cousin. Interestingly, there were also men named Jacob Sellers living in both Calhoun County and Schley County in 1860, and from both their names and where they were located I suspect that they were related to Jacob Benjamin Sellers... but he was clearly the one who was living in Terrell County that year. Here's where this begins to get complex... My great grandfather was born either in 1846 or 1847 with only his Confederate disability discharge saying 1847, and that discharge has another tidbit, his place of birth (given as Hiawassee, Towns County), which I believe to be wrong as well. I suspect that my great grandfather Richard M. Sellars was named after another Richard Sellars who was born in North Carolina in 1788 and moved to Georgia in 1830 (this information is on his gravestone in Schley County)... particularly since it is known that Jacob & Georgia were in the Schley County area in 1847... more or less in the time frame that their son Richard M. was born. All of the oral information that I have encountered says that Jacob B. Sellers' father was named William, so I suspect that Richard was either a very much older brother of Jacob B. (who was born in 1805), or, it would seem more likely, an uncle or cousin. Jacob B. was enrolled in Company E of the 51st Georgia Infantry Regiment which was raised in Baker & Calhoun counties, on March 4 1862. That is the only clear record of his Confederate service, but there was a record of a Jacob A. Sellers of the 51st Georgia in the Post Register for Albany Georgia for 20 May (no year given) and I believe that is actually a record of his hospitalization in 1862... the "A." just being a mis-reading of a hand-written "B." Typically there was a high mortality rate among soldiers of new Confederate units, from contagious disease... and based on oral history I believe that Jacob B. died within a matter of a couple of weeks after he "joined" the Confederate Army. Oral history says that his father "died in the war" and that Richard M. "ran away from home" and joined the Confederate Army... with an implied causal relationship between the two events. There is no record of Richard M.'s actual date of enrollment in Company B of the 11th Georgia Infantry Regiment... but he appeared in the unit in Virginia in a record dated 7 to 22 May 1862, so I believe that he was enrolled in late April or early May. It would have taken a bit of time to get from Pulaski County to Virginia... possibly from 7 to 22 May, because the record covering that time period was for "commutation of rations"... typically a reimbursement for meals eaten by a soldier purchased from his own pocket in transit. George W. enrolled in the same company of the 51st Infantry Regiment on the same day as his father. He was wounded at Funksville, MD, on 10 Jul 1863 during Lee's retreat after the Battle of Gettysburg, and he died in a Confederate hospital at Kingston, Bartow County, GA, on 13 December 1863. His back pay was requested by Susan O. Sellars, who stated that at the time of her petition that she was somebody's sister-in-law (I can't read whose), and that both of his (and Richard M.'s) parents were dead. The petition was headed as having been made in Calhoun County, and I very much suspect that Richard M. Sellars was actually born in the Towns District of Calhoun County... because though the family moved a lot from county to county I do not find them anywhere out of the upper part of S.W. Georgia.. Unfortunately the petition document is in terrible condition and so far out of four pages I've been able to make sense... I think... out of only a few lines of it. The same lawyer who prepared this petition, William A. Walton, Attorney, in October 1863 and February 1864 also prepared petitions for a similar purpose for the pay of a Sergeant John M. Sellars of Company F of the 47th Georgia Infantry Regiment (originally Company F of the 11th Georgia Infantry Battalion) in which he enrolled in Appling County, also on 4 March 1862. Sgt. Sellers died at the University Hospital, Cassville, GA, in on 18 October 1863. The petitions concerning Sgt. John M. Sellars are not in his file. The bulk of the records comprising the Compiled Confederate Service records are extracts from muster rolls and other types of rolls... and the information was extracted from those rolls in about the 1890s, by clerks employed by the U.S. War Department, at the request of the former Confederate states and for the purpose of verifying Confederate pension claims made by veterans and widows of veterans, to the governments of the former Confederate states. However, some records published in the "Official Records of the War of the Rebellion" are just cited by location, and any actual, original Confederate records that were found that applied to only one person, or sometimes to two or three persons, were added to these extracted records. If they pertained to more than one person, they were put in one person's "file" and cross reference cards were created and put in the files of the other affected persons. There is a cross reference card in Sgt. John M. Sellars' record, to the file of a Corporal E. Phineas Bryan of the 47th Georgia. The handwriting of the cross reference card is so crabbed, though, that I can't understand it. But... either there or elsewhere I have hopes of going back to the Compiled Confederate Service records and perhaps finding those petitions related to John M. Sellars. In the meantime I don't know what they say... but I suspect that Susan O. Sellers may have been involved in all of them and that information in the petitions may explain the relationships of the various Sellers/Sellars involved... There was also an Eli (Elijah?) Sellers who was enrolled in Company D of the 47th Georgia Infantry Regiment... The only record of him is that he was "absent sick" in August of 1862. I do not think that this was the same Elijah who married Susan because they lived in Mitchell County and Company D of the 47th Georgia Infantry Regiment was raised in Screven County... plus my best guess (but it's only an "educated guess") is that this Eli probably died in the hospital in 1862. I also note that not in the service records, but in the pension records... a John H. Sellers of Appling County applied for a pension but his claim was denied for lack of proof. He would have been probably 15 or 16 years old at the time, and claimed to have joined Company B of the 11th Georgia Infantry Regiment... the same unit that my great grandfather Richard M. Sellars had served in... but the testimony in his application spoke of surrendering in Athens, Georgia... and the 11th Georgia Infantry Regiment was in Virginia. My guess is that this young John H. Sellars probably did enlist in the 11th Georgia, but that was at the very tail end of the war and Georgia was in a mess with Sherman and all... so he was probably just farmed out as a "recruit" to some other unit... and as a young kid at the time was unable to recall and explain as an old man what he did but had little understanding of as, virtually, a child. Interestingly but probably entirely coincidental and irrelevant, his witness statements came from Habersham County (see James Lunsford Sellers, below). I cannot connect the dots in all of this, but it seems to me that there are indeed dots, and that they are indistinctly indicative of family relationships of some form or another... George W. died. Richard M. ran away from home & never returned. That left a brother between them in age, James Lunsford Sellers, who I find no record of after 1860 unless it is one in Habersham County in 1870 (and that seems an unlikely location)... Charles M. who was about 4 years younger than Richard M. (who I find no record of at all after 1860), plus sisters Sabra Ann, Martha A., Josephine, Elizabeth Bethany and (I think but am not sure because she was not born until August of 1861 and was on no census record I have been able to find yet, as a child) Georgia Ann... all minor orphans except maybe James Lunsford. Martha A. ("Mattie" or "Matt") and Elizabeth Bethany married brothers, Virgil Asa Veal, Sr. and Millard Fillmore Veal, in DeKalb County. I have no idea how the got there or who they stayed with while they grew up to marriageable age. Millard Fillmore Veal and Elizabeth Bethany Sellars moved to Indian Territory before 1900, as did many of the children of Virgil Asa Veal and Martha A. ("Mattie" or "Matt") Sellers, though their parents stayed in Georgia. Matt Veal and her daughter Lizzie stayed with my great grandfather Richard M. Sellars near Cairo in Thomas (now Grady) County, GA, where they both appeared in a family photo taken in 1916. Apparently Richard M. was reunited at least with Elizabeth and Martha A. by a man I had always thought (from my interpretation of oral history) was named Alford Sellars. However, it now appears to me that this was probably Alfred Joiner who Richard M.'s brother George W. was living with in 1860. Alfred Joiner was still living in Camilla, Mitchell County, in the 1870 census... and I don't know where he was in between, but in 1900 he was living in the Blowing Cave District of Decatur County. Although that was Decatur County and Richard M. Sellars was living in Thomas County... in 1905 when Grady County was created... both places ended up in Grady County. According to oral history, "Alford" was a traveling stove repairman, and in his travels he found Richard M. at his home near Cairo. Sabra Sellers (age 17) was also gone from Jacob B. and Georgia Ann's home and showed up living in the household of (first name unreadable... maybe Kermit) Linsey (age 38) in Dooly County in 1860, along with a 74 year old midwife named Sabra Joiner. I suspect that she was living with a namesake relative in the Joiner family, who was probably kin to the head of household's wife, Martha Linsey... perhaps her mother. Sabra A. Sellers who bought federal land in Montgomery County, Alabama, in 1892, might be her as well... Josephine Sellers was exactly the right age at the time to be a single mother who shows up with 4 children ages 10 to 16 in Decatur County in the 1870 census. She and her older daughter were listed as seamstresses and her older son was listed as a harness maker, but whether she never married or was divorced at this point I haven't a clue. It is also possible that this is some other Josephine who had married a Sellers. All I have to go on at this point is the name, and it is possible that is just a coincidence.. Georgia Ann Sellars married a John Pollock in Mitchell County. I found him or his father in various censuses in Houston County and Pulaski County as well as in Decatur County. I would like very much to be able to learn if I have correctly reasoned that Jacob Benjamin Sellers and Georgia Ann Joiner were her parents. My great grandfather also had a daughter named Georgia Ann Sellars, but she wasn't born till 1878 so this clearly isn't her. Richard White Tallahassee, FL

Hi Everybody: I've been following all the lovely chatter on our great SELLERS list, enjoying it, checking each one very carefully for possible clues to confirm my great-great grandfather's parents and/or siblings. Even though he is so close to many of the other SELLERS in PIKE CO., AL, WISE CO., TX, CORYELL CO., TX and BURNET CO., TX, I'm thinking now that he had to have been dropped by aliens from outer space! It was probably on a very dark night with no moon or stars and very cold so nobody would be out to see the occassion. :) Now searching all UFOs for cousins and wishing all of you good luck, Lynda Green

I don't remember what document has his middle initial put possibly his Will in Chatham County, NC. It looks more like a T but my thoughts are that possibly his name is James Young Sellers. James' son, Isaac Sellers of Maury County, TN, named a son James Y. Sellers. I have not seen his middle name mentioned in documents but probably James Young Sellers. This James Y. Sellers, son of Isaac, also named his son James Y. Sellers. As I have mentioned before, the name Young is definitely a naming pattern in this branch of Sellers. That is why I believe that David Sellers, father of Young Sellers of Jackson County, AL, is somehow related to this family. Also many deeds involve James T/Y Sellers and David Sellers in Chatham County, NC. Hopefully someday we will sort this out.

I thought I'd throw another (later) James Young Sellers into the mix. ----- RHODES-SELLERS [Thurs. Dec. 6, 1934 Butler County (Ala.) News] Mr. James SELLERS and Miss Della (Delia?) RHODES were married at the home of the bride's parents Mr. and Mrs. Will RHODES of Bolling Sunday afternoon. by Rev. John HANKS, uniting two of the most widely known families in Butler County. Mr. SELLERS, son of Mrs. Lena SELLERS of Georgiana has acquaintances throughout the state. ----- Wedding Bells Ring During December 1934 [from the Jan. 3, 1935 Butler Co.

Sellers, son of Duncan Thomas (Eliza Jane Brooks) Sellers, son of John D. (Eliza Ann) Sellers, son of [Benjamin?] Duncan (born c. 1794 in NC) and Elizabeth Cromartie Sellers. I don't yet have the marriage license for James's parents, Lewis Ennis Sellers, Sr. and Lena. James's mother, Lena, is listed as Lena Young Sellers in her obit but Lena's mother is listed as Mrs. Lura RHODES. I don't know if YOUNG is Lena's middle name or maiden name. James Young Sellers died in a hospital in Chicago but is buried in Sellers Cemetery in Butler Co. Ala. -------------------- Cheryll Sumner Irishsttr2@aol.com
The Robert B. Sellers and Maria Speight Sellers buried in Oakwood Cemetery is in my database: Robert B. Sellers is the son of Isaac Sellers born 1842 Gibson County, TN and died 1930 Dallas County, TX, and Eugenia Howard Blanton. Isaac Sellers is the son of Robert Sellers born 1809 KY or TN and died 1893 Caldwell County, TX and Nancy Stuart Sellers Wallace Sellers. Robert Sellers born 1809 is the son of Isaac Sellers and Elizabeth Huddleston of Gibson County, TN. Nancy Stuart Sellers is the daughter of Laird Sellers and Annie Hackney of Wilson County, TN and later Moniteau County, MO. Laird Seller is the son of James T/Y Sellers of Chatham County, NC and Patience Parker. Isaac Sellers that married Elizabeth Huddleston is the son of Robert Sellers Sr. of Burke County, NC. Isaac Seller and Laird Sellers are first cousins thereby making Robert Sellers and Nancy Stuart Sellers 2nd cousins. Hope this is not too confusing.

Ginger, I put James T/Y Sellers because the middle initial is written and it could be either a T or a Y. I don't remember what document has his middle initial put possibly his Will in Chatham County, NC. It looks more like a T but my thoughts are that possibly his name is James Young Sellers. James' son, Isaac Sellers of Maury County, TN, named a son James Y. Sellers. I have not seen his middle name mentioned in documents but probably James Young Sellers. This James Y. Sellers, son of Isaac, also named his son James Y. Sellers. As I have mentioned before, the name Young is definitely a naming pattern in this branch of Sellers. That is why I believe that David Sellers, father of Young Sellers of Jackson County, AL, is somehow related to this family. Also many deeds involve James T/Y Sellers and David Sellers in Chatham County, NC. Hopefully someday we will sort this out. That is why the Sellers List is so valuable to the Sellers researchers - we can't do it alone. We need to share, compare and hopefully reach correct conclusions. Hats off to Marie for making this possible for all of us. She does a super job. I am the List Mom for the Burnett List and this list is not very active at all. It is like pulling teeth to get them to contribute and share.

The service will be at 1 p.m. EST Thursday at Abbey Funeral Home in Tallahassee (562-1518), with burial at Tallahassee Memory Gardens. Family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. EST today at the funeral home. Survivors include a son, James "Jim" Palmer; a daughter, Joy Harvey; three grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Published in the Tallahassee Democrat on 1/15/2003. ............................................................................... I actually met Olene once at the Howard Johnson's Restaurant in Tallahassee. I was eating there with my dad and she was eating at the next table. She saw dad and introduced herself... and said that she went to school with him. Apparently both had forgotten that they were related. With my dad that was pretty common. If I had left it up to him my family tree would be blank, as he often claimed that he had no relatives... <G> Well, actually, that was no relatives named White... but dad was very, very wrong about that too. Also, I don't think I have commented on this before but the listings of Missouri L. Sellars in the page about the Thomas County census for 1900 are all messed up, and apparently the problem was with the census, not with the web page... but still it needs "straightening out". Richard M. Sellars married Missouri Lester West in 1898 and apparently, from that census's indications, she was still keeping a separate household in 1900. She had previously been married to Levi Harper, who I understand to have been deceased, and so far as I can see in the census record her children by Levi Harper were still living with her in the separate household and great grandpa's children by Mary Ann Haven were living at his house. That is to say... there is some question on the web page about Elizabeth being listed as a Sellars... but all indications that I have seen show her clearly as Levi Harper's child. Levi was also Levi Harper's child... and I'm not sure who the "Allie" in Missouri's household in the census was... but... Richard M. Sellars had no children by Missouri West Harper Sellars that I know of. I have seen some allegations on a genealogy bulletin board that they had a child before they married... but if that is so I never heard it personally from anyone. They were still keeping separate households two years after they married... and it got worse, much worse. In 1912 Richard Sellars announced to the congregation of his church (the Long Branch Baptist Church) that they had separated... but in 1918 Missouri came storming back into the church and when great grandpa wouldn't agree with the church to take her back... they kicked him out of the church membership. I have seen those records. I have not seen records of the following... but I also understand that she came to his house once after they were legally divorced, demanding money... and that he used a horse bridle (?) as a whip to chase her off... an action for which he was arrested and may have been jailed So... that is my explanation of why Missouri L. Sellers appeared twice in the 1900 census. She and her husband were maintaining two separate households... There is a rather a nice photo of Richard M. and Missouri on my web page at: http://pone.com/ts/rw003.htm Richard White Tallahassee, Florida
