Abe Sellers is listed in the Keokuk Co., IA census in 1880 - he is listed as being 39 and born in TN, listed is his wife Catharine age 36 born in GA and their son George age 10 born in TN. I suspect that Catharine's maiden name is Fagala, and if this is correct, we connect through our mutual Randles ancestry.

Travis, do you know if your John Sellers that was in Maury County, Tennessee, could have moved to Hickman County, Kentucky? The only thing I have on him was that he was in 1830 Maury County, Tennessee, and married Eleanor Kenny. They had a son named John Kenny Sellers born February 1811 in Maury County, Tennessee, who died 1890 in Hickman County, Kentucky. The only other identified child of John Sellers is a daughter Jane Sellers, who married William T. Evans. Here is my source information: Battle, Kniffin and Perrin's History of Kentucky: J. K. Sellars, Hickman County, Kentucky, was born in Maury County, Tennessee, in 1811 and is a son of John and Eleanor Kenny Sellars, natives of North Carolina. the father of English descent, the mother of Irish descent. He came to Hickman County, Kentucky, in 1833 and settled on the farm he now owns (1880). John K. Sellars was the third of nine children, of whom but two are now living. Mrs. Jane Evans in Graves County and John K. Sellars The 1830 census in Maury County, Tennessee does have an unidentified male born about 1809 in the household of John Sellers. Could this be your Robert Sellers that married Jane Surratt? Did Robert and Jane marry in Maury County, TN, in 1830 or in Alabama. I have never been able to tie this John Sellers to the other Sellers in Maury County, Tennessee.

She married Simon Booth, born in 1879, Tsimshian Indian, from Kitselas, BC Canada. Amy was a teacher at the Chemawa Indian Boarding School in Oregon. Simon was a student there, he may have been Amy's student. They began their family in Seattle, Washington in the Alki area, they owned property there. They had five children: Catherine, Jack, George, William, and Florence. They moved to Metlakatla, Alaska and lived there till they died. There is close to no information available on Amy. We are not sure where she was originally from. It is thought that she could have been disowned by her family because she married an Indian man. She was possibly White, or even Indian from Oregon or the surrounding area. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Please email me at karlabooth@hotmail.com

Dear Sellers Men, I realize money is tight in many cases this time of year but I hope with the coming year, you will put aside a few dollars monthly to send in your DNA sample. Of course it must be through the male line if I understand it right. I did it for my husband and am awaiting the results. It will not work if those who are qualified don't jump in. Betty Sellers

hello all........Tom....Rollie.....Marie....... just about 4 weeks behind reading emails.......but just saw this one and got a jolt ! another family member ! yahooie ! Tom.......i am the great-granddaughter to Leanna's brother, DAVIS Sellers. i'm also fortunate to have Davis' original Civil War Discharge from 1865. Davis' son, Lloyd Joseph had a son, Gene Sellers, who was my father. Gene died 4.24.1997. tidbit i just found out recently was my father's REAL name is probably Lloyd Joseph also........i don't think he ever knew that. my son's name is also DAVIS. Rollie has been soooooo gracious and generous to me in the past, sounds like you two have "met" and are sharing information. he's a GREAT guy ! i have so much information to put "together" that he and others have shared with me, so i don't have much to add right now.......none of it's organized. i DO believe tho that Leanna ended up (if i have the correct sister) marrying into the DITTO family after RADER died. there is a website that you can probably find just by searching on google.com for "sellers and ditto" and "rader".....they are all mentioned on a mercer county page.....with tons of intertwined family history done up by some very knowledgeable people. Yes.....you have the right ones married......Leanna to Joseph Rader. You do mention Jacob......but that was her father......DOB/2.25.1825 must belong to Joseph.....not Jacob. i stumbled upon the DITTO information just by accident one day. i would just love to retrieve all that info for you right now but i lost my entire AOL personal filing cabinet on 12.12.2003 along with over 46,000 pieces of email. i do have all the pertinent stuff tho on hard copy but not organized. dang puters ! Marie........thanks so much for having the list serve. you do a great service to us all. sorry for the rambling.....but i do tend to get excited when i FINALLY see someone online trying to make a connection and i am related and recognize the names........hi Rollie ! Tom......do keep in touch. i'm in the seattle area where a few of us SELLERS have migrated to......more info later............. dawn Marie Sellers dawngurl@aol.com Washington State

Georgia, That’s interesting about your Isaac Sellers who died in TN in 1830. As his wife Judith was born in 1772, we can assume (for the sake of argument) that Isaac might have been born around the same time – the 1760’s or 70’s. My only guess is that my Sellers must have migrated from the east coast to Tennessee before yours did and that your Isaac and my John (died circa 1829 in TN) are somehow distant cousins. Our Sellers eventually migrated further into Alabama around the time of the civil war and then west toward Utah and Arizona in the late 1800’s. John’s son Robert was born in 1805 in Maury County, TN and died in 1851 in Dekalb County, Alabama – it was this Robert that married into the Surratt family (distant cousin by marriage of the woman – Mary Surratt – that was hung for her involvement in the assassination of President Lincoln). Unfortunately Maryland is a good hike from Maury County, TN so I cannot physically sift through the county records. Travis

But, YOU must start with your oldest PROVEN SELLERS in 1868 AZ or 1845 AL= 1850 and 1880 census info = Or place of any marriage or Birth= WE must have the documents proven to his birth, etc = census/marriages, etc WE must connect EACH family and others will KNOW you also, OUR members will help, BUT you must share your SELLERS info. marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: TravisPNelson@aol.com [mailto:TravisPNelson@aol.com] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 9:21 PM To: SELLERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SELLERS] FW: re.
