    3. WARREN SELLERS and JACK SELLERS (dna results) definitely are proven to ROBERT SELLERS 1765/1825 WASH CO., IN. Who is proven born in NC by kids census records and NC documents. Yes, the IN family history has an error! WARREN connects thro his son Moses Wilkderson Sellers 1796/1868 Clarke Co., In JACK SELLERS connects thro JAMES MANSON/MADISON SELLERS 1831 NC/ and probably James Sellers ca1795 and probably John Sellers and Margaret in Haywood Co., NC (recheck these memory notes) I believe Georgia and perhaps others connect him to a ROBERT SELLERS,SR from Burke/Orange/? NC. She has sent much info on this family. WE are Proven by dna connected, which parent here in Burke , etc counties NC, not sure. WE are probably all related, just not proven, yet to which of these older Sellers. I still show an Older John Sellers here, that no one continues on with?? THANKS, must get this passed on for more info/documents. I will try and write/contact Stewart = our dna tester = WARREN, do you understand this? a remark on Robert Sellers' son John and kids and LA = don't believe son John ever married. don't believe/prove the LA land. IF so need copy of land and any other documents OUR document only shows IN land to his brothers/sisters when he died. Linda and Jack, thanks for continuing on, when I didn't have time. marie, iowa mari@netins.net -----Original Message----- From: Linda Peacock [mailto:lindaleepeacock@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 10:40 AM To: sellersj@swbell.net Cc: stewseller@aol.com; Marie Sellers Holinger; Margaret Freeman Subject: Re: family history Hello Stewart and Jack, Your common ancestor is Robert Sellers, Sr. of Burke Co., NC. Robert Sellers, Jr. (who became Sr. when he moved to IN), Stewart´s ancestor and John Sellers, Jack´s ancestor, were brothers, sons of Robert Sellers, Sr. of Burke Co., NC. and an UNK Sarah. I do not think that the ancestry of Robert Sellers, Sr., of Burke Co. NC, has been proven.

Since we have a match of 37/37, we should have a common ancestor within just a few generations. I am copying your information to three women who have considerable knowledge of the Sellers Line. Perhaps they will find this common ancestor sooner than I as I am a relative beginner in searching my family history. Their names and email addresses are above. Thanks again for your time and efforts to share what could be valuable information in our search.

Here is my line of ancestors. You will have to decide whether we are both related to Robert Sellers. It looks to me like they are one and the same: Warren Stewart Sellers, born born August 24, 1919 in Sellersburg, Indiana (me) son of Warren Stewart Sellers, born in Sellersburg, Indiana on July 16, 1900 and died at the young age of 20 on March 3, 1921 in St. Louis, Illinois son of Pinckney Sellers born in Sellersburg, Indiana on April 27, 1868 and died in Wood River in 1937, buried in St. Louis son of Absolom Littell Sellers born in Sellersburg, Indiana on October 26, 1824 and died in Sellersburg, Indiana on March 25, 1870 son of Moses Wilkerson Sellers born in Burk County, North Carolina on August 22, 1796 and died in Sellersburg, Indiana on June 1, 1868 son of Robert Sellers, Sr. born in Delaware or Chester County, Pennsylvania on March 10, 1765 and died September 27, 1827 in Washington County, Indiana. He was a Revolutionary War Soldier. son of William Sellers (born in England) in 1725 and died 1804 at age 79. _________________________________________________ Here is some of the things I have about Robert Sellers (born March 10, 1765 and died in 1827. He was married April 29, 1783 to Sarah "Sary" Hall, who was born February 9, 1767 and died September 7, 1860. Robert is buried in Sharon Cemetary in Washington County, Indiana near the city of Salem. He was a Revolutionary War soldier and his grave has a marker to attest to that by the DAV. His wife is buried in Sellersburg, Indiana. They had twelve children: 1. John L. (oldest son) born in 1784 2. Elizabeth Simmons (Benjamin) born May 12, 1785 3, Sarah Duckworth (John) born March 22, 1787 4, Rebeccah Hartley (Samuel) born December 4, 1788 5.

Ambrose Carlton (Sally Shepherd) born October 22, 1806 These entries I found in the Salem Historical Library: Year 1821: Trac t Book Entry of Washington County, Indiana shows that the NEqtr., Section 30, town to North (Franklin Township) Range 5 East was purchased by John Sellers (son of Robert, Sr.) Year 1827: John Sellers, Robert Sr.'s oldest son married on 27 November 1827 Mary Johnson, widow of Peter Bertau in the parish of St. Landry, Opelausas, State of Louisiana. Mary had three minor children, George, Mary Ann and Jane. John had considerable property in Louisiana as well as a quarter section in Indiana. Year 1835: John Sellers died in 1835 in Opelausas, Louisiana when he as 50 or 51 years old and on September 29 an executor was appointed in St. Landry Parish. In Indiana Moses W. Sellers, John's brother, was appointed Administrator of John's Estate for disposal of his property in Indiana. Year 1840: On 13 November 1840 Moses Sellers, administrator of the estate of John, his brother, filed the accounts and they were equally divided among his 11 brothers and sisters. Year 1846: On March 16, 1846 the tract owned by the deceased John Sellers, son of Robert, Sr. and described under the 1821 date above was sold to George C. Carter, son-in-law of Robert, Sr. and husband of Rachel Sellers Campbell. __________________________________________________ Let me know what you think. Your friend (relative?) Stewart Sellers P.S.
