JACK, thank you for sharing. NASH CO, NC , we have some deed info and then nothing. Do you have the deed extractions from NASH CO, NC on SELLERS? We have posted several from Johnston Co., NC which lays next to Nash I have some Pridgeon info. Will check on this Willis Pridgen, etc. These documents may be helpful. We may need to study connecting counties. AND if Brothers, would be on 1810/20 census = who had males these ages? OR did Dad die and living with brother? Maybe someone has a chart on EACH of these kids to help check out.

He married DELILAH WYATT SELLERS in 1826 and moved from NC to Tuscaloosa/Birmingham, Alabama area about 1836. Gurley had several brothers including JORDAN SELLERS (b. about 1805-1808) who married Elizabeth Mason in 1828. Jordan and Elizabeth appear in the following census 1. 1830 Wake Co NC census 2. 1840 Guilford NC census 3. 1850 Guilford NC census 4. They move to Browns Township, Morgan Co., INDIANA in the fall of 1850 ( see reference on Sellers site: http://www.sellers-sellars-sollars-zellars.net/inmorgan.htm ). Elizabeth dies in 1856. 5. Jordan is in 1860 Cumberland Co. Illinois (just across border from Ind.) married (I believe?) to Nancy. 6. They are in 1870 Liberty, Hendricks Co., IND 7. Jordan (indexed as Girdon Sellers) is in 1880 Lost Creek, Vigo Co., IND now married to Martha Sellers. 8. Jordan dies in 1898 at daughter's home in Missouri. I believe Gurley's brothers included Jordan, Emanuel (Manuel), Bennett. Others may include: Michael, Merritt and Archibald. Sisters are likely these: Elizabeth or Lizza, Mary (m. John Murrow), Martha, Lucinda (m. John Rogers), Lulu (m. Larry Brantley), Drucilla (m. Thomas Parks) You can visit my site for Gurley at http://members.tripod.com/gurley_sellers/ I need to make some updates and I apologize in advance for the pop-ups that will drive you crazy. I have yet to prove Gurley's parents and continue to search for them. One thing of note for researchers in this line is that Jordan is the only one of the siblings that reports his parents birthplace in the 1880 census. He shows his father to be born in Virginia and mother in N.C. This disputes the record from the 1984 Sellers Letters where Charles Sellers reported Jordan and Gurley's father to be Antril Sellers from Ireland but still leaves many unanswered questions. I recently ran across another INDIANA Sellers: Abraham Sellers who names one of his daughters Delila. He was born in NC but I haven't found further details on him. I wonder if he could be one of Gurley and Jordan's brothers? Note he also has a son named Daniel. I've seen all the recent emails on Indiana and can't help but feel that there may be some connections with my line of Sellers but may just be coincidental. I've always wondered what brought Jordan to Indiana if not other family living there. If anyone has any background on this Abraham, I would appreciate the inputs. Also, if anyone knows of any direct male descendents from Jordan Sellers, I would like to hear from them to see if they would participate in the DNA test to see if they match mine (on file on this site). 1860 United States Federal Census Record about Abraham Sellers Name: ABRAHAM SELLERS Age in 1860: 55 Birth Year: abt 1805 Birthplace: North Carolina Home in 1860: Lawrence, Marion, Indiana Gender: Male Post Office: Germantown Value of real estate: View image Household Members: Name Age Abraham Sellers 55 Margaret (Snyder) Sellers 33 Daniel Sellers 21 George Sellers 18 Margaret Sellers 17 John Sellers 14 Delila Sellers 6 Jacob Sellers 4 Marshall Sellers 1 Jacob Snyder 68 (Margaret's Father??) I have tons of research on Gurley including maps where I've plotted his land grant locations in Alabama and other info that I would be happy to share with anyone researching the family.
