Penny and Mary and E. E. were living in their own homes near their parents. Ann R.

Thank you Ann, This will take some study on my part. The following is an excerpt from an oral history as related by Mrs. Artie Young Neel in 1967 {Mrs. Neel's memory is possibly flawed as to full names and maiden names.} "LEWIS & PRUDENCE REEVES SELLARS" "My grandmother, Prudence Elizabeth REEVES, was born and reared in North Carolina. She graduated from medical college (one of the first American women to do so). Later she married Lewis Allen SELLARS and moved to Montgomery, Pike County, Alabama, where they bought a large plantation which became known as Sellars' Plantation" and at this time is a show place listed on some tourist maps. They went to Alabama as they thought it would be a good place for grandmother to practice medicine, but people didn't want a woman doctor and she was unable to get any patients. " "The SELLARS had 10 children and 3 of them were born in the plantation mansion. My mother, Elizabeth Sellars YOUNG, was born there on Feb 12, 1845, and when she was 7 years old, they sold all their Negro slaves and came to Texas. They bought land in Coryell County and built a log house, general store and blacksmith shop where my grandfather made wagons and furniture, shod horses, and made all the caskets for the dead. He made the casket out of wood and covered it with velvet. Grandmother practiced as a doctor and nurse. She had to stay with her patients until they were out of danger--gathered herbs and roots for medicine. The family laughingly joked that grandpa buried grandma's mistakes. ....." Can you shed any light on this?

The house, now enclosed inside a larger frame house, is owned by the Arlington County Historical Society. Built c. 1745, it started out as a one room, roughly-constructed log cabin with loft built by James Ball. After more than two centuries, the cabin (and the rooms built onto it) is recognized as the oldest structure in Arlington County. (Arlington of course is across the Potomac from Washington, although the city of Washington didn't exist in 1745). The giver of the old house and the land on which it sits was a Sellers, by marriage. A publication at the Fairfax Co., VA Public Library tells the story. The genealogy part of it is that a native of Franklin, NC named George Sellers moved to Arlington, VA in about 1940 seeking a career. In 1943, he married Marian Rhinehart, who lived in the two century old and greatly improved house with her aunt and uncle. When George Sellers died in 1966, his wife Marian Sellers donated the house and land to the Arlington County Historical Society. It was then renamed the Ball-Sellers House. It stands in the community of Glencarlyn, part of Arlington County, 4-5 miles from Arlington Cemetery. I hope I have interpreted the information found in the publication accurately. Any mistakes made are mine and not the author of the booklet in which I found the above information. Frank Sellers Falls Church, VA

I plan on trying to get to Liberty Hill Cemetery which is where I believe that my ggparents are buried. That way I can get some dates and the name of his wife. I know her first name was Lula and her last name was Pollock, but I have been told that she was married before so Pollock would not have been her maiden name. Anyway I hope to answer some of these questions this weekend, If this turns out to be the same person that you have researched for me I would be glad to give you any information that I have. My mother, who's family is also from the same parts of Georgia told me that they were from what is now called Grady county, but back in that time period it was still Thomas.

I found the item below in a recent newspaper search. It appears that Jerome Sellers who lived in Lexington, KY in 1881, married an Ogden. Since the article was in the Maysville, KY newspaper, the persons about whom it was written, including Jerome Sellers, were well know in Maysville, KY.

Could be your Great Grandfather. I have him in my listings as Samuel J. Sellers. My Samuel J. had a brother A.L. Sellers 1877-1876 Mitchell Co GA. Their father was William Thomas Sellers b. 1850 Baker Co GA d. ? (listed in 1850 census of Baker Co GA as being 6 mos old), Mother was Dicy K. b. 1850 GA d. ?.If this sounds familiar, I'll take you on back. Let me know.

My Grandfather had to quit school in the second grade in order to help support the family. He was very depressed about the prices he was getting for his crops, or wasn't getting, I don't know, But He took a shot gun and set down on a stump and used his big toe to pull the trigger.

As long as I have lived in the Washington, D.C. area, I've been wondering about the history of a landmark named the Ball-Sellers House in Arlington County, VA, just over the Potomac from Washington. The house, now enclosed inside a larger frame house, is owned by the Arlington County Historical Society. Built c. 1745, it started out as a one room, roughly-constructed log cabin with loft built by James Ball. After more than two centuries, the cabin (and the rooms built onto it) is recognized as the oldest structure in Arlington County. (Arlington of course is across the Potomac from Washington, although the city of Washington didn't exist in 1745). The giver of the old house and the land on which it sits was a Sellers, by marriage. A publication at the Fairfax Co., VA Public Library tells the story. The genealogy part of it is that a native of Franklin, NC named George Sellers moved to Arlington, VA in about 1940 seeking a career. In 1943, he married Marian Rhinehart, who lived in the two century old and greatly improved house with her aunt and uncle. When George Sellers died in 1966, his wife Marian Sellers donated the house and land to the Arlington County Historical Society. It was then renamed the Ball-Sellers House. It stands in the community of Glencarlyn, part of Arlington County, 4-5 miles from Arlington Cemetery. I hope I have interpreted the information found in the publication accurately. Any mistakes made are mine and not the author of the booklet in which I found the above information. Frank Sellers Falls Church, VA
