    1. [SELLERS] Cumberland/Mifflin Co. PA Sellers
    2. SHERRY MAZZETTI
    3. MARIE and ALL, I THINK this is same family as John Sellers 1775/1839. They appear in Cumberland Co. PA records first, then Mifflin. See what you think. No time to copy more tonight. SHERRY Source: Pennysylvania State Archives online ARIAS database of Rev. War Militia card extracts Note that the information listed on each card varies. I have chosen to write out some abbreviations for clarity but use the abbreviation when I am not sure. I believe that the abbreviation DQT means "delinquent." Muster fines (for DQT/absence/other) all carry the symbol for the British pound. With one exception (Jacob Sellers active service), these men appear not to have served. "Ye Standing Stone" refers to town of Huntingdon. Will provide reference for this later.
