But I still don't think the German speaking Sellers out of Lincoln Co., NC were related to the line of Robert Sellers, Sr who was in Mecklenburg, then Burke Co., NC. Trying to make sense of this I have taken to transcribing the death certificates of the various Sellers found in the western NC counties. I didn't find these on the Sellers pages so I am going to start with Haywood Co death certificates which may give some more clues. The informant is not always accurate!
