Marie and All, It appears from one of the trees that both Isaac and Samuel were children of John and Margaret (McMullen/McMullin) Sellers. Isaac b. 1823 and Samuel b. 1828. Sorry, I did not check the last page of the Bible that you posted, so you may already know that. From the ancestry entries, no one seems to have the Bible record of John's birth/death. Some show John and Margaret m. 1812 Fairfield Co. Ohio, then show John Jr. b. also 1812 in PA. Does not make sense unless he was born before they married. All other children b. Perry Co. OH. Found another early Alvah--no obvious connection s/o Jacob Sellers and Barbara Pile/Pyle of PA . Jacob is German. Since Alvah is a somewhat unusual name MAYBE there is a connection. Sherry
