GEORGIA, good idea. My Ancestry is Not working good today, so can't check out somethings I would like. But, from what I already have posted, Bing Sellers 1851, son of Isaac is NOT on 1870 census, etc. And Isaac is living with John in 1870 Perry Co, OH. EMORY SELLERS parents are kinda hard to follow, whether born in PA or OH, unless we had an obit from? Many documents here in Perry Co, OH and several proven, But, Not to the early SELLERS. ISAAC SELLERS 1769= JOHN SELLERS 1780 HENRY SELLERS 1790 DAVID SELLERS 1790 , I quess is earliest I can see now? Same or two Sellers families, don't know. Think so. Franks info does help us Prove some families. Thanks for ideas. good marie, iowa =========== -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Georgia L.

Sellers born 1851 in Ohio the same as Bing Sellers born 1851, the son of Isaac Sellers and Mary Unknown? Isaac Sellers is the son of John Sellers and Martha and Emory B. Sellers is listed in the household of John Sellers and Martha in 1860 Perry County, Ohio. Bing Sellers is listed in the household of Isaac Sellers and his new wife Julia Unknown. Was Emory B. Sellers listed in both households? Oft times when there was a new marriage, children of the first marriage would live with relatives. Emory B. Sellers married Mary Woltz, daughter of George Bainbridge Woltz and Almira Glassford, on 03 July 1877 in White County, Indiana according to World Connect. He is listed in 1880 White County, Indiana, as being married to a Mary.
