The parents of James Milton Sellars were Harry Raymond Sellars and Eulalia Lee Davis. Harry's parents were James Charles Sellars and Ida Mae Futrell and James Charles' parents were Andrew Jackson Sellars and Margaret Brown. Beyond that I've hit a brick wall. These Sellars families lived in Graves Co. and/or McCracken County, KY. Ann Wallace

You mention twins. 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.

Fraternal twins result from the fertilization of two ova shed at (usually) the same time (within a few minutes or hours, although it may rarely be days or even weeks--in which cases the one or both twins often do not survive). Fraternal twinning is a function of the mother alone, since only she "controls" how many eggs are available for fertilization. Identical twinning results from a single ovum that, sometime after fertilization, splits into two (or more: triplets, quads, etc.) zygotes (although not all such splits are complete--conjoined, "Siamese", twins come from such incomplete divisions). This splitting is only partially genetic, but the part that is, is influenced equally by paternal and maternal heritages. Otherwise, identical twinning is "accidental", a product of too many environmental contributions to say who's "responsible". Sometimes the woman sheds two eggs, and one or both will split resulting in both fraternal and identical twins (triplets or quadruplets) in the same gestation/birth. Since all women have only a matched pair of "X" chromosomes, mommy's contribution to the genetic mix that creates the child's body, it make no difference (to the sex of the child) which of her two ends up in the fetal nucleus. Daddy does, of course, supply either the matching "X" chromosome for his daughters, or the complementary "Y" chromosome to his sons. I have heard of (but cannot verify) that some women have ova that "prefer" one type of spermatazoan over the other. It sounds like a folk tale more than medicine, but mothers have been "researching" this for far longer than scientists. Spermal vigor seems to affect the sex of the child more than anything else. "Y"-type sperm are a tad more active than "X"-type, so a few more boys are born than girls on average. But when a couple "try hard" to conceive, and if the first few attempts in a single day do not result in success, and because later ejaculations have somewhat more X-type spermatazoa than Y-types, these couples often have daughters more frequently than sons. Yeah, I know, more than you wanted to know.

Bill, I just spoke to my mother and she said Liberty Hill Cemetery is in Mitchell County. But I just looked at a site that list names of people buried there and there are no Sellers mentioned. My mother said that she went to the funeral for the wife of Samuel Sellers and that is the cemetery where she was buried. There are a few markers that are unreadable, so there's still the chance that they are there.

Hi, Do you have record of where you found information about Eldred's alleged brother James? I have not been able to find any credible parentage or sibling (other than Rebecca) documentation for Eldred.

Hi, I am curious where is found a middle name for Prudence. In any documentation I have seen no middle name is listed for her. Also, about the slaves....keep hearing they had slaves, but I have seen no documentation that says they did. Can anyone answer these 2 questions?
