Sorry, Newton County, Mississippi.

Found out that my g-grandfather's middle name is HENDERSON. Received a copy of the funeral chapel invoice from Bisbee Arizona and it is basically worthless. Most of the fields were not even filled out. Just says he was born in N.C. without a city mentioned. This is all I know about him: Name - John Henderson Sellers Born - 1878 North Carolina (no city) Died - January 11, 1931 Bisbee, AZ Married - Nancy Elizabeth Wiley on Dec. 25, 1905 Anyone have him in their tree already? Surely Henderson is a unique name? Looked into the Wiley records on his wife already. Only lists John H. Sellers born 1878. Thanks for any help. Chuck Sellers Luvthelord03@hotmail.com

Hello Cheryll, Thank you for all your good information on your SELLERS family, it just helps us know the Sellers family better. Thank you for adding to it. Margie Sellers Allen

Hello Pattie K., I thank you for your help and information with my Sellers and I agree with you about Almond Lewis Sellers and his family. I think Almond Lewis Sellers`s father was Edmond Eldred Sellers from N. C and Edmond Eldred Sellers had a brother James Sellers who had a son Joseph Sellers. That would make Almond Lewis Sellers and Joseph Sellers 1st cousins. I was pointed to a site, Coryell Co. TX. The site was loaded with good old information. Coryell Co. Brands Book 1854 and Tax Roll of Coryell Co. Tx. 1855. It looked like Pike Co. Al. had moved to Coryell Co. Tx. Sellers, Wilson and Boyd families. I now think: 1860 Coryell Co. Tx. Census C W. Sellers age 28 Sheriff born Fl. ( Maybe Joseph Sellers`s Son by 1st wife) Martha Sellers age 48 born N. C. ( Joseph Sellers`s widow) Elizabeth R. Sellers age 19 born Al. ( his daughter, Joseph Sellers) Sarah F. Sellers age 06 born Al. ( his daughter, Joseph Sellers) Thanks again for your help and input of information on Sellers families. Margie Sellers Allen

Georgia, I looked up that group about a year ago at our local library. I thought I posted it. This is not my family so I don't remember much. I do know, one census had Allen Sr. and family and the next census had only Mary and children and then the next, no entry for Sellars. I will go back to the library and see what I can do. The family was near a town called Lake close to Interstate 20 between Jackson and Meridian. I go thru that area alot. My group was from Calhoun County and I have never been able to trace them. I'll see what I can do. Martha Belenchia

It was the elder William Harvey that married Miriam Johnson as you can find them in the 1870 Phelps County, Missouri census. Miriam was about 32 years younger than William Harvey. As far as proving the IGI, I have found many, many errors on the IGI. Use the IGI and go to the county records where it was said to occur.

In an article section at: http://showcase.netins.net/web/sellerfamily/mophelps.htm You note the line I'm looking at. You stated: 1863 May 04 - William Harvey Sellers born to James N. Sellers and Eliza A. Chambers in Phelps Co., MO [IGI] 1865 Apr 11 - George Washington Sellers born to James N. Sellers and Eliza A. Chambers in Phelps Co., MO. [IGI] 1867 Feb 14 - John J. Sellers born to James N. Sellers and Eliza A. Chambers in Phelps Co., MO [IGI] 1870 Jun 12 - William Harvey Sellers married Mariam Johnson in Phelps Co., MO [IGI] 1873 Mar 06 - Sarah F. Sillers married William Calvin Hocutt at Rolla in Phelps Co., MO. [IGI] 1874 Mar 01 - Phebe J. Sellars married B. L. Sexton in Phelps Co., MO [IGI] 1876 Dec 31 - Lizeann Sellers married John Hatton in Phelps Co., MO [IGI] 1888 Oct 19 - James Joshua Sellers born to William Harvey Sellers and Emma Eliza Sharp in Phelps Co., MO [IGI] These notes were all taken from the IGI" How can I confirm this data from IGI? I'm wanting to confirm James Nelson's birth in Indiana and marriage to Emma Eliza Sharp in Maries Counties. Also for note... I suspect the William Harvey that married Mariam Johnson was James Nelson's father. This would mean he remarried 1 year after his first wife Mariah Williams died in 1869. He would have been approximately 62 years old when he marrried Mariam Johnson if this is correct. It would be within a realm of possible. James Nelson's son named William Harvey was born in 1863, so I doubt that he would have been of marrying age. I look forward to hearing you. Roger Sellers

The tax list you posted contained the names C.K. SELLERS and Calvin. Those are names I've found in my Butler Co., Ala. SELLERS research. Of course, I don't know if the C. K. SELLERS on your list is the same one as the one in Butler Co., but since there could be a connection, I'm sharing C. K.'s obit and one for J.M.Y. (whom I'm assuming to be the son mentioned in C.K.'s obit). Died near Bear's Store on 23rd Mr. C. K. Sellers, father of J. M. Y. Sellers and George and Angus Sellers of the Alabama Conference. He died as he had lived in the faithful service of his Master. "Rest soldier rest from thy loved employ. Thy work is done--enter thy Master's joy." by J.R.S. [from the Greenville Advocate of Wednesday, June 30, 1886, from a column called Georgiana Dots] [note by C. S.] C. (Calvin) K. Sellers is buried at Providence Cemetery near Georgiana. Born Nov. 20, 1818, Died June 23, 1886, Private 3 Bn Ala. Res. C. S. A. ----------- In addition, I found some handwritten notes (unsigned) in the Sellers files in the Greenville Ala. Public Library genie room. These notes said Calvin was born in Brunswick Co., NC, was married to Elizabeth Talbot in Ala. in 1836 or 1837, and they had twelve children. ------------- A Tribute to My Friend, J.M.Y. Sellers by J.A. Reid Denied by illness from attending his burial, which occurred in Oak City Cemetery, I cannot refrain from offering this humble tribute to the memory of my lifelong friend. He was born January 22, 1848, in Montgomery County, Alabama, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. A. Leysath, in Greenville, Ala. on March 6, 1926, being then a little more than seventy-five years of age. It was our fortune in early life to live only a few miles apart in south Alabama. There he was married April 5, 1868, to Miss Mary E. Casey, daughter of Dr. W. T. Casey, a prominent physician of Alabama, and their union proved to be the beginning of a long and ideal companionship. Five sons and six daughters were born to them, all of whom lived to manhood and womanhood, save one daughter, who died in Bainbridge November 24, 1901. I knew him intimately as my friend in social, business, and religious life, and never knew him to say nor do a thing that would in any way reflect on his Christian character. He was indeed a Christian. He had his joys and sorrows. I have walked with him under the shadows, and it was custom when the way grew dark and the burden grew too heavy to bear, for him to turn aside to the throne room where he had in early life enthroned his Saviour, and there in quiet communion with Him, lay all of the problems and perplexities of life at His feet, asking Him for guidance and strength; and I never knew him to go away from such communion without added strength and light and a brighter hope with which to renew life's journey. Then too, I have seen him scale the heights of spiritual exaltation, and standing on some bright peak, he seemed almost to catch glimpses of his future home with its bright prospects. It was a privilege and a blessing to have had such a lifelong friend. He did not strive for great material wealth, but rather for Christian character for himself and for those who God had committed to his care and training. While in Alabama he conducted his farming operation, and at the same time was in charge of the timber department of the Milner, Caldwell, and Flowers Lumber Company of Bolling, Ala., until he served his connection at Bainbridge with the Flint River Lumber Company, which connection he maintained until they closed operations for want of timber. For thirty years he was an honored citizen of this county, and for a time served as one of its Commissioners. He was also instrumental and active in the building of the church at Diffee, Ga., and was a member of the building committee for the construction of the Bainbridge Methodist Church, of which he was afterwards a Steward and an active and useful member. During all of these years he was my intimate friend. As the years crept by he grew feeble, and at last, weary with the pilgrimage, he laid down to rest, and fell asleep. Sleep on, my friend. No discordant sound, nor even a note of melody nor lilt of song shall disturb your peaceful slumber. Sleep on until the voice of God shall call you into wakefulness on the resurrection morn. Then shall you wake in His likeness. To his loved ones he has left in his life and character a richer heritage than any material legacy. And now that his useful Christian life has ended-- Go, bury thy sorrow, the world has its share; Go, bury it deeply; go hide it with care; Go, think of it calmly, when curtained by night; Go, tell it ot Jesus, and all will be right. J. A. Reid [from the Greenville Advocate April 7, 1926] ------------------------------------------------------------------ J. M.Y. Sellers Dies Saturday Night About 12:00 Saturday night, J.M.Y. Sellers "Uncle Joe," as he was called by a great many loved ones, died at the home of his daughter Mrs. W. A. Leysath in this city. For many months the deceased had been a great sufferer and at times his life hung by a thread. A few days ago the prevailing epidemic, flu, attacked him, and in his feeble condition he succumbed. He was 79 years of age. Mr. Sellers was reared in Butler Co. [Ala.] and when almost a boy, was engaged by the Confederate government in collecting from the farmers their ten percent of the crops, to be used for the army. Mr. D. G. Dunklin was in charge of the "Tax in Kind" department, and one-tenth of everything grown, or hogs and cattle raised, had to be turned over to him for the sustenance of the soldiers. After the war, Mr. Sellers married and was a prominent farmer in the southern part of the county. He was always a Christian, and early in life connected himself with the Methodist church, and was a leader in it until ill health prevented active work. He lived and died in the faith. A good man as everyone who ever knew him will testify. In his old age he had been living first with one and then with another of his children, making his headquarters with his daughter in Bainbridge, Ga. He came to Greenville on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. W. A. Leysath, some months ago, when he became ill and has been here ever since. Funeral services were held at the home of his daughter Sunday afternoon at 3:30 and the body carried to Bainbridge, Ga. for burial. Rev. D.H. McNeal officiating. A large number of citizens were present to pay their respects to him. He is survived by his widow and a number of children, all of whom are grown with families of their own. The deceased was a very prominent citizen of this county and at one time was a candidate for the State Senate on the Democratic ticket. It was the time when the Populist party was in the ascendancy, and he was defeated. That was the only time he ever entered politics, and he did not seek that office; it was thrust upon him.

Cheryll Sumner <Irishsttr2@aol.com> Two of my SELLERS connections are a great aunt Victoria Black who married Willie E. Sellers in 1891 and a gg-aunt Eliza Jane Brooks who married Duncan T. Sellers in 1869, both in Butler Co., Ala..
