Bobby Dean Sellers. Who are most using for their DNA? I used Ancestry for mine. How many markers are needed? On the information on James M Sellers, I have found a marriage cert between James M Sellers and Kitwah Smith in Carter Co, TN. I have yet to prove or disprove that it is the same James M Sellers. Working on that now. I can't find anything more on Kitwah, like what happen to her. I am not convinced on James M's parents either. I have been told by older people that this was their names. I question that and am open for suggestions or better proof of their name and origin. As far as James M, I am beginning to question him, but I have the Wasson side whom all claim that he was James M also. Anything else, let me know.

Please help trace back her relation to a known, living SELLERS, who would do a dna test for us. On the chart you sent, you include an earlier marriage, etc, here. I believe it is this?= 1. James M1 SELLERS , born 1822 in TN; died 10 Apr 1865 in McMinn Co, TN, son of James SELLERS and (---) Elizabeth . He married (1) on 4 Apr 1846 in Carter Co, TN Kitwah SMITH , born 1822 in TN; (2) on 21 Jan 1847 in Athens, McMinn Co, TN Martha Patsy WASSON , born 20 May 1830 in McMinn Co, TN; died 10 Mar 1899 in Stilwell, Adair Co, OK, daughter of Jonas WASSON (Sr) and Catherine WEAVER . WHO IS KITWAH SMITH? HOW PROVEN same James Sellers. I didn't check out our Carter Co, Tn info, FILL me in. Keep in touch. marie,iowa -----Original Message----- From: Michael C Lynn [mailto:mike@lazerexpress.com] Sent: Monday, May 18, 2009 12:59 PM To: 'marie sellers hollinger' Subject: Sellers DNA Marie, Who is the keeper of the Sellers DNA ?
