JACKIE, thank you for sharing. This is a very good book, esp on the info taken from the pension files. Usually documented. as is our ISOM SELLERS which does have a pension file and sworn documents. However, Samuel SELLERS did NOT have a pension file, so we have NO sworn documents of his to base the info they submitted. AND they don't state their source either. (I believe it may have been taken from the GA records that had been submitted by others? msh) SELLARS Samuel married Sellars, Zilpha 5-11-1767 42366 Duplin Bondsman= Jesse Sellers and ---- Merritt/Merrill NOV 9, 1790 SAMUEL SELLERS, JR of GA sells TWO tracts of land = 284 acres and 100 acres.(IT is Very hard to determine which Samuel Sellers these are? we only had the father and son in this area of GA?? msh) COPY of extraction of 1794 will, does NOT list a wife I just want to point this out , so others will NOT use it as a document and we know what we need to work on.

Hi Ginger, Are you a descendant of Almon Lewis and Prudence Robbins Sellers? I am a great-great-granddaughter descended from their son Solomon Reeves Sellers. The Sellers Family reunion in Gatesville was started back in 1933 by Almon and Prudence's son Joel Lewis and continues today due to the dedication of the descendants of Joel and Mary Ann Neel Sellers. The Sellers reunion is always the first weekend in August. It has for several years been held at the Coryell County Activities Center in Gatesville, but I understand that in 2004 it may be held at a community center in Jonesboro.

My grandmother said there were lots of twins in the Sellers side, I know of a set named Houston and Austin/Austen Sellers. She was a bit miffed with me when I told her it was the mother that made the number, and the father was responsible for the sex of child. Wish I could locate the Houston cousin that lived in Dallas area with two sons, Bill and Jimmy, that I last saw in 1947. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: joesellers > To: SELLERS-L@rootsweb.com > Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 4:56 AM > Subject: Re: [SELLERS] sellers line from South Georgia > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "hugg" <hugg@prodigy.net> > To: <SELLERS-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 5:03 PM > Subject: Re: [SELLERS] sellers line from South Georgia > > > > One correction to my last email--A.L.
