HI! Hope everyone is having a good warm weekend, unlike us who have 10 degrees out-- I recently was contacted by someone which turns out to be a second cousin, very exciting actually. She said her Dad said he could trace the family back to an original Sellers who was a Hessian Soldier. I was wondering if anyone has any information about Sellers that were Hessian Soldiers. This is a totally new field for me They haven't found where he may of had this info or if it was passed down to anyone. Still the same brick wall George Sellers b 1774 md. Nancy Yost-------Nancy was born 1793 so not sure if 1774 is correct. We did find Nancy------ This family also supposed to be connected to Sellersville, PA---------George and nancy's son, John and family lived in Lancaster. PA If anyone can help me out on this one I'd appreciate it----or send me in the right direction------thanks nancy nanrick76@chilitech.net

NANCY, thanks. I would have them send us you a small name, date, place chart, so we can link them to the state/counties they are in, came from and went to. We had a HESSIAN discussion = Name: ZELLER, Jacob, born appr.1756/57, place of birth: Niederurff, now 34596 Bad Zwesten-Niederurff (the number in front of the place is today's postal code, (you call it zip code in the USA) This town lies to the North of the City of Schwalmstadt in the German State of Hessen. He was a private soldier in the 1.Comp. Hesse-Kassel Regiment von Wissenbach. The Regiment reported him as a deserter in June of 1782. At the time the Regiment was engaged in the vicinity of Savannah, Georgia. The strange thing about him is the fact that I have a lenghty list of deserters from his Regiment, like Franz Adler, Nikolaus Baucher, Jost Brennewald, right down to Johannes Wollenhaupt, a total of at least 19 men from his Regiment who deserted around the same time in or near Savannah and who got passes by the Americans to go to PA., John H.Merz" <hessian@cogeco.ca> ======= There is a Joseph Sellers/Zeller mentioned, but, I can't find the extraction or by whom! PERHAPS, someone else has and will send. == I don't believe we have a list extracted, IF we had any SELLERS? I kinda think/remember that John MERZ only found the JACOB ZELLER above??
