I found this in the Georgia Legislature documents, 1843 It’s on the sec of state, Georgia, web site: http://neptune3.galib.uga.edu/ssp/cgi-bin/legis-idx.pl?sessionid=7f000001&ty pe=law&byte=22411934   Sec. 7. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the persons known by the names of David Hall and Isaac Monroe Hall, the reputed illegitimate children of William Sellars, of the county of Thomas, shall be legitimatized, and bear and be called by the names of David Sellars and Isaac Monroe Sellars -- any law to the contrary notwithstanding.   Kay

I've so far noticed a resounding silence on this on the list, but it seems rather important to many of the Sellers in and around Georgia, so I will point out a couple of things... This appears to be the same William Sellers who was, so far as I can tell, the father of Jacob Benjamin Sellers, Simeon Thurman Sellers (presumably the same Simeon just mentioned in Second Creek War connection), Wright ("Right") Sellers, Elijah Sellers, Thomas Sellers, Elizabeth Sellers Peacock, Everett Sellers, David Ashley Sellers, and... presumably, one I just added to the list, William B. Sellers. Again, presumably, the David Hall who was legitimized to David Sellers, was David Ashley Sellers. So far as I recall I have never previously encountered Isaac Monroe Hall / Sellers. Since David Ashley Sellers and Thomas Sellers went to Alabama, were the only sons of William that I know of who did, and there married sisters... it's at least conceivable to me that Isaac Monroe Hall might have further changed his name to Thomas... but I sure *do NOT* know that for a fact. What concerns and confuses me, though, is that the information about William Sellers' wife, Nancy Moye, came through the Thomas Sellers line... and that information included David as another son of William and Nancy. Well... at this point so far as I can say, anything is possible... including that William Sellers had more than one son named David by different mothers. If anyone can "unconfuse" me, please do. In the meantime, "I'm confused" is my story, and I'm sticking to it! <G> Richard White Tallahassee, Florida Kay Martynuska wrote: >I found this in the Georgia Legislature documents, 1843 > >It’s on the sec of state, Georgia, web site: >http://neptune3.galib.uga.edu/ssp/cgi-bin/legis-idx.pl?sessionid=7f000001&ty >pe=law&byte=22411934 > >Sec. 7.
