The following was found in a genealogy of the Graves family (Descendants of John Graves of Randolph Co., NC). Benjamin Bennett Graves (198) was born about 1831 in Montgomery Co., NC, died 1861-1865 in or immediately after the Civil War, and was buried in No. 2 National Cemetery, Fredericksburg, VA. His name is recorded variously as William Bennett, Bennett B. and Benjamin B. He married Synthia Sellars (or Cynthia Sellers_[31]_ (http://www.gravesfa.org/gen077.htm#_ftn31) ), daughter of Joseph Sellers and Lillie Sutton. She was born about 1832 in Chesterfield Co., SC, died 26 May 1915_[32]_ (http://www.gravesfa.org/gen077.htm#_ftn32) , and was buried in the Providence Baptist Church Cem., Pageland, Chesterfield Co., SC. This family was recorded on the 1860 census in Montgomery Co., NC; their children were born in NC. By 1870, Synthia had returned to her native SC where she was recorded with her children in Chesterfield Co., SC. In 1880, Synthia and Benjamin lived together in Mt. Croghan, Chesterfield Co., SC. In 1900, she was recorded on the census with son Benjamin’s family and in 1910 with son William’s family, both in Chesterfield Co., SC. (R‑12, R‑48, R‑74) Frank in Falls Church

FRANK, thanks for sharing info. We have worked on this family a little and sending a cc to a Graves relation. And an old Jordan connection. I kinda think it is the JORDAN family we need to trace OR our SELLERS kids. We are connected to JORDANS earlier than GRAVES. This could be the McCarroll SELLERS 1807 wife ? And we/I don't know his parent!

All, Be careful with the syntax Ken Graves posted on site (http://www.gravesfa.org/gen077.htm) for Cynthia Sellers. I supplied Ken with much updated information on my branch, and the syntax looks very much like my work and may have flaws. I believe the sentence "...In 1880, Synthia and Benjamin lived together in Mt. Croghan" refers to son Benjamin, not husband Benjamin. No record of Benjamin's military service and/or death have been located. No one seems to know WHERE "No. 2 National Cemetery, Fredericksburg, VA" is located or if he is on roll. Additionally, no one can remember who/where the source for Cynthia's parents being "...Joseph Sellers and Lillie Sutton" comes from. A noted Chesterfield Co. researcher suggests the following on Cynthia ... " ... is from the Matthew Sellers family. Matthew also lived on Thompson Creek near the area where out more widely known Hardy Sellers lived. Matthew left no will or any other records, but we belive that McCarroll Sellers who moved from Thompson Creek to current day Jefferson area is from this family as well as David Crokett Sellers whose son Levander Jackson Sellers moved near the current day Patrick area from Anson County, NC." Again. Any leads on the lineage of Cynthia would be appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: marie sellers hollinger [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 02, 2007 12:17 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [SELLERS] Cynthia Sellers, SC b. about 1832, married Graves FRANK, thanks for sharing info.
