Brother James Sellers has 1 m. over 16, 1 male under 16 and 4 females. Possibly James is older, but I don't know his birthdate. (Might help if we can every discover the year Robert Sellers, Sr was born and his wife and their marriage date.) Rebeckah Sellers Wilkerson born 25 Feb. 1765 Robert Sellers born 10 March 1766 Sarah Sellers Hall born appx. 1768 John possibly born before Rebeckah in 1763 - 64 or after Sarah in 1769-70. I also noticed something while I was looking through all my data. I hadn't followed all Robert Sellers, Jr.'s children very thoroughly. I just realized that Robert Sellers was married once before he married Sarah "Sally" Hall, 29 Apr 1793 in Burke Co., NC. The first 4 children are from the first marriage: Elizabeth 12 May 1785 Sarah 22 Mar 1787 Rebecca 4 Dec 1788 Ann 28 Mar 1790 The first child with Sarah Hall was John b. 13 Jun 1794 Burke Co., NC. In light of this, plus the reference made in the John Hall letters, dated 21 Nov. 1783, where he refers to "Robert and John Sellers is gone with their family", that he may have been referring to the sons of Robert Sellers, Sr. Which leads back to the question of whether the marriages of the Sellers children that a bond hasn't been found for in North Carolina records, such as Moses Wilkerson and Rebeckah Sellers, Joshua Hall and Sarah Sellers, Robert Sellers, Jr and the first unnamed wife, and possibly the marriage of John Sellers to possibly Margaret, may have taken place in Sullivan Co., TN. Unfortunately Sullivan Co, NC/TN records are scant from early haphazard record keeping, and it is also a "burned" county (from the Civil War) as was Burke Co., NC. Such a puzzle!

I´m not sure where the ca. birth date comes from. I wonder if it comes from the ca. date of birth of John Sellers of Saucon, PA? If the Margaret Sellers in Macon Co., NC in 1840 is the Margaret who md. John Sellers, son of Robert, Sr., she was b. 1760-1770. She could have been somewhat older than John but likely not much older, so that gives some sort of time frame. Yep. Think we need to search for whatever we can find in TN and unfortunately, early records are sparse there. Irene M. Griffey´s book, "Earliest Tennessee Land Records and Earliest Tennessee Land History" might provide some answers. Otherwise, for example, Bedford Co. TN´s Court house burned 1837/8 or so, and all court records for that Co. prior to 1837/8, were lost. So many complications. But if it were too easy it wouldn´t be as much fun figuring out.
