This John Sellers is to be distinguished from John Sellers of Nash County with wife Cloey, who appears in Nash County 1800 Census as M over 45, and from Sampson County John Sellers with wife Ann who appear consistently in 1820, 1830, 1840 Sampson County Censuses. This John first appears in the North Carolina Muster Rolls of Soldiers in the Second Regiment, Eighth Company, detached from the Johnston Didtrict, along with Benjamin Sellers. He appears in the Johnston County tax lists, paying 1 poll tax: 1816 Capt. John Crawfors District, 1817 (along with Benjamin Sellers) Capt. Daniel Boons District, 1818 Capt. John Crawfords District. He does not appear in a Census until the Johnston County 1830 Census: 1 M 40-50 with no wife or children. He appears in the 1840 Johnston County Census, but the information is not readable. I speculate that he is a brother or cousin of Benjamin Sellers, apparently about the same age, who never marries. It is possible that he is one of the Sampson Sellers' boys who are born in Johnston County and do not appear in Richmond County where Sampson moves with younger children. Thus, he would be Benjamin's cousin. Since he apparently had no children, there is no one to trace his heritage.
