Marie, Jim, et al, I have not been able to determine why/how James Sellars left VA for Harrison county, IN. I have wondered if it was a "usual migration" or if he obtained Bounty Land, etc. James would've been about 40/50 years old at time of War of 1812. Could be he was too old to have fought, and therefore Bounty Land may not be a possibility. I have not located a "James Sellers" so far in land records for Harrison county, so that's not holding any clues so far either. Have appreciated the help and great info so far. I'm in hopes someone closer to the records than I can keep digging for us! Am in hopes as well that we can continue backwards from 1840 Lee county, IA, and 1830/1820 Harrison county, IN.
