SELLERS/SELLARS are the same. Our families spelled it like they wanted AFTER they learned to spell. I've seen brothers spell their names different! BEFORE, it was spelled as it sounded to whoever wrote it down. YOUR paper trails and your dna will Prove you to your line. CARL SELLERS dna 14803 THOMAS SELLERS dna 14438 will show their connections to DAVID SELLERS.

The earliest versions that I am aware of is Seller/Seler and Sellar/Sellars. We probably began as Sellars, since our latest common ancestor, Robert Sellars sr spelled ars. Indeed, all of Robert's family spelled ars. The ers began largely in the early 1800s. Many of the later Sellars generations were uneducated, so outsiders spelled as it sounds, ers. A good example is the town of Sellersburg, IN. A descendant of Robert sr of Burke founded the town of Sellarsborough, IN located just across the Ohio river from Louisville, KY , a town that still thrives. Stewart (Stu) Sellers who is on our DNA list is a descendant of Moses Sellars who founded now Sellersburg, IN...but I digress. Robert sr's father is probably Thomas Sellars, born about 1710 in VA USA; lived in VA last at Pattersons creek valley where he was in the French and Indian war; lived in Orange, NC 1753-1771; lived in the 96th district, SC which later became Edgefield, SC during the Revolutionary war, dying in Edgefield, SC about 1797. I believe Thomas had two families, Robert sr of Burke and his siblings mostly living in Chatham NC are the first family while Howell, Silas, William and Samuel make up the second family living in Edgefield, SC. I am trying to locate living descendant males of Thomas' second family to determine whether there are DNA matches. Your branch off Robert sr is John, first family while my branch is David who could be off either of Thomas' families. My David who was also born about 1758 could be the eldest of the second family, a grandson or a son of Thomas.

Marie! Thank you for sending this! You won't believe my story... earlier today I was going through a box of old genealogy notes, a box I hadn't been through in at least 10 years. One of the first things I got out of the box was a copy of "The Story Tellers." I didn't even remember I had it and I don't remember where I got it. It spoke to me... Then you send this! It's more than a coincidence. Don't know what....

The Story Tellers....we are the chosen... or why I am so fascinated ("obsessed") with Genealogy My feelings are in each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. To me doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called as it were by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors you have a wonderful family you would be proud of us? How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do? It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying I can't let this happen. The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are them and they are us. So, as a scribe called I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take their place in the long line of family storytellers. That, is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and put flesh on the bones.
