Thought it might be of interest to those Sellers who descend from Heinrich Zeller and/or those whose ancestors might have eventually gone from Virginia to Tennessee.

It is good info to have. Jacob Sellers' lineage runs parallel to my own. Jacob's Great Grandfather was Peter Sellers, an older brother to my 5 Great Grandfather, Adam Sellers. Thus, both Jacob Sellers and I descend from Peter and Adam's father, Heinrich Zeller. Jacob's father was Conrad Sellers, Jr. and his grandfather was Conrad Sellers, Sr. What has interested me about this line somewhat is the mystery surrounding Jacob's great grandfather, Peter Sellers. We don't know who Peter married nor where he eventually ended up. He can be found in land records until circa 1818 in Rockingham County, Virginia, and then he just disappears. The idea has been put forward that Peter had married an Armentrout later in life and eventually moved to Washington County, Tennessee, to live with a son where he died circa 1830 and was laid to rest outside of Jonesboro. None of that, however, has been proven. The irony is that Jacob Sellers, great grandson of Peter Sellers, himself married an Armentrout, and moved to Washington County, Tennessee. Its reported that they stopped there because they already had relatives in the area. Jacob and Priscilla bought a farm in the Leesburg area and lived there until they died and were buried in the Lutheran Zion cemetery. A number of years later their son, James Joseph Sellers, moved the bodies to the Fairview Cemetery because James had helped establish the church and the cemetery. I doubt it will ever be proven what happened to Peter Sellers in his later years nor where he was eventually laid to rest. But, the similarity between his supposed move from Rockingham County, Virginia, to Washington County, Tennessee and that of his great grandson, Jacob Sellers a quarter century later certainly makes one take notice.
