Clyde Sellers Hi Clyde and Marie, The only info I have on these folks comes from a note posted by Mary Wiley Campbell on the St. Martin County/Parish Louisiana page of Marie's Sellers Family Genealogy site, and several family trees posted on Ancestry.com. Ms. Campbell says the Louisiana church records of the marriage of Mathieu (Matthew) Sellers and Marie Reine Aucoin state that Mathieu's parents were Mathieu (Matthew) Sellers and Esther Neel. The family trees I saw state that the full name was Louis Mathieu Sellers, born in Charleston, SC on March 15, 1772. I have no proof that these assertions are accurate, but the trees are very detailed, and appear to have come from family records, especially regarding the family of Marie Reine Aucoin. I have e-mailed Mary Campbell and the poster of the most detailed tree in an attempt to find additional data, but I've received no reply. As to the business about "William of Tarboro", it's been obvious to me for years that the man's full name had to be William Benjamin Sellers, and that he merely went by Benjamin. This is now proven by an entry in an old Bible started by the Hartwell H. Sellers family, and now in the possession of Carlah Drury. "William of Tarboro" was not a myth, but merely a confusion about the man's name in various books and records. As far as I'm concerned, this debate and speculation is over. Others may continue to beat this dead horse if they wish. The problem I'm having now is that, if Louis Matthew Sellers was indeed the son of Matthew Sellers and Esther Neel, then my previous information on these folks is wrong, at least as to dates. If I discover anything more definitive on these folks, I'll let you know, and I would appreciate it if you'd do the same. Take care, -Ed Hudson ehudsoniii@aol.com
