HI Michael, The land grant that James received in Indiana said "James Sellers of Harrison County, Indiana." The fact that it was recorded so late (1831) may mean that he didn't get the grant in 1814. He was the assignee of William Nance, so it may be the year that William was authorized the grant and it was assigned to James much later on. I'll have to look at it again next time I go to the library. Do you know if Michael Sellers ever received a Rev War pension or had a will/probate record? I found some information on the Jackson Sellers who married Mary McNickle in Harrison County. Apparently they had one son, Arthur, and then Jackson died around 1837-40. His wife remarried in Crawford County, Indiana in 1840. I believe this Jackson Sellers is another son of James and Barbary. I was wondering if the Barham Sellers in the 1850 census with Absalom was maybe a corruption of the name Abraham (or Abarham) Sellers? It doesn't appear that Absalom Sellers ever lived on his 80 acres in Vigo, but instead purchased it and then sold it before moving on to Illinois and then Iowa. He was still mentioned as living in Harrison/Floyd when he sold it. Based on the dates of the deeds, it looks like Absalom may have moved to Illinois about 1835, his father about 1838-39 and by 1840 both are in the Iowa census. Jim Sellars
