Hi Nathan, Well, unfortunately, I'm just really piecing the descendants of Absalom together and don't have anything really documented so far. Absalom's father appears to have been James Sellers, and I've been trying to connect James back to Rockingham county, Virginia. If James does connect back to R'ham county, then he was likely the grandson of Heinrich Zeller, my 6 great grandfather. Going back in time has been my focus so far. I guess my "plan" has been to see whether or not James connects back to R'ham county and to Heinrich, and, if he does, then I would come forward in time and document the descendants. Sorry I don't have any info of use to you currently ...
