Thank you for sharing. marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: Kim Goetz [mailto:curnynco@nbsmail.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 10:12 AM To: mari@netins.net Subject: Lavina Sellars/Cellars Marie: My cousin Nancy Brown Gauer gave me your email. I am trying to nail down the descent of my great great grandmother Lavinia Sellers/Cellars who was married to Elliot Jones Armstrong. Their daughter Martha Ann Armstrong was my great-grandmother. I have many pictures of Martha. Martha's daughter Oma Brown was my Granny. Here is my tree to me: Jacob Sellars son Isham Sellars m. Unis Vann; their son Ephriam Sellars m. Rebecca Priggin; their son Luke Sellers m. Mary E. Harrington; their daughter, Lavinia Sellars m. Elliot J. Armstrong; their daughter, Martha Ann Armstrong m. William T. Brown; their daughter Oma Brown m. Oney Gish; their daughter, Janie Edna Gish m. William Flewallen.; their daughter Kimberly Flewallen is me. I am also the ggg granddaughter of Margaret Sellers, daughter of Isham Sellars and Unis Vann: Margaret Sellers m. David D. Sights; their daughter Matilda A. Sights m. Obadiah/Obediah Brown; their son W.T. Brown m. Martha Ann Armstrong (making WT and Martha 3rd cousins), the rest of my line is above. I realize there were 2 Lavinia/Levinia Sellars/Cellars, they were about 3-4 years apart. I am not interested in Lavinia Paschal Sellars. I have just begun researching this line in my tree. I have been concentrating the Sights line up to now. I believe that my Lavinia's father was Luke Sellers/Cellars son of Rebecca Priggin Sellers/Cellars. Here's where it gets a little mirky for me.Was Luke married before the Elizabeth enumerated below, otherwise according to the age below of Elizabeth, she was 12 when Levinia/Lavinia was born? Or is Elizabeth's age incorrect below? 1850 census of Union CO., Aug 27, 1850, #390 Rebecca Cellars 62 (this would be Rebecca Priggin Sellers, mother of Luke) NC Luke Cellars 33 KY Elizabeth Cellars 25 KY Levina Cellars 13 KY Sarah Cellars 9 KY F. Cellars 5 KY Eliza Cellars 2 KY There is a difference of 4 years for Elizabeth between 1850 and 1860. If she was 25 in 1850 she should be 35 in 1860.but her age is listed as 39. 1860 census of Union CO., KY, #376 L. M. Sellars 46 Elizal B. 39 Sarah A. 19 Favorita, fav 15 Eliza Sellars 12 Alice Sellars 10 Mary A. Sellars 7 Rebecca Sellars 3 (all b. in KY) Below find the death record for Sarah above. It says below that Sarah's mother was Mary E. Harrington. Is the E. for Elizabeth? As in the Elizabeth enumerated above or is Mary E. Harrington Luke's 1st wife and Elizabeth his second? Henderson CO., KY, death record Name: Mrs Sarah A Kennedy [Sarah A Sellers] Death Date: 23 Mar 1911 Death Location: Henderson cause-- chronic parenchymative nephritis Residence Location: Henderson Age: 70 Gender: Female Ethnicity: White Birth Date: 30 Jul 1840 Birth Location: Union, Kentucky Father's Name: Luke Sellers Mother's Name: Mary E Harrington Mother's Birth Location: Kentucky informant-- A. J. Kennedy burial-- Fernwood Cem I was also hoping you could give me a current email for Patrick Anderson. I wrote to him (as his posts instructed) to request information when I was researching the Sights lines, but it has been several weeks and I haven't heard from him. Any help you could give to clear up this for me would be greatly appreciated. I don't know if you have any Sights lines, but I would be willing to share. As you know Margaret Sellars (daughter of Isham Sellars and Unis Vann) married David D. Sights. Kim Goetz curnynco@nbson.net.
