CARL, On the 1850 MORROW CO, OH census she says she was born ca 1808 OHIO Son George said both parents born PA. Brother Jacob born 1805 PA This is a very early SELLERS family into OH and we don't have 1810 census, just tax lists and court minutes. I haven't checked the other kids out yet for birth place of parents. WE must study the early land records of OH or PA census and see if same.
