    1. Re: [SELLERS] Robert Sellers (Sr) of Burke Co/ Sullivan Co., NC(TN) 1783 - 1784
    2. Marie: Thanks. I didn't have a couple of these land transactions. I will try to follow up on those. I also am wondering, after the new John Hall/Moses Hall/Robert & John Sellers information, whether the "John Sellars" found as a signer of the "Petition of the inhabitants of the Western Country," dated Dec. 1787 and presented to the December Legislature of North Carolina in the attempt to establish the State of Franklin, is the Same John Sellers connected to Robert Sellers in these documents. The time period/date seems to indicate it is most likely the same person. I also found an earlier reference concerning Robert Sellers applying for the Sullivan Co. land grant: On 16 March 1779 Robert Sellers requested a 300 acre land grant in Washington County, North Carolina. The Entry Book recorded it on 17 June 1780 next to “Humphrey Hogan’s old improvement on the south side of the Holston River ” in Sullivan County. On 10 November 1784, Sellers was granted 267 acres of this land in Sullivan County, Tennessee on South side of “Holstein River (Holston).” Goodspeed’s History of Sullivan County, Tennessee Appears to be in the same area as John Hall's entries, which he wrote as Shoat Ford in his letters. This is believed to be Choate's Ford which is present day Bluff City, Sullivan Co., TN.
