We know that great grandpa Richard M. Sellars' sister Martha A. ("Mattie") Sellars, widow of Virgil Asa Veal, came to live with him in Thomas County, Georgia, for awhile with her daughter Lizzie Veal, and they are in the 1916 Sellars family photo taken at R.M. Sellers' home. I just filtered through census records and in every census that I could find him, which was only a couple of late ones... 1900 and 1910, Virgil A. Veal & his family lived in Fulton County, Atlanta, Georgia. Another sister of R.M. Sellars, Elizabeth Bethany Sellers, married Virgil Asa Veal's brother Millard Fillmore Veal. Millard F. Veal's family shows up in the 1870 census at Stone Mountain District of DeKalb County, Georgia. The county seat of DeKalb County, the town of Decatur, Georgia, is now a part of the greater metropolitan Atlanta area. HOWEVER, when I found Millard F. Veal's family again in 1900, they had moved to the CHICKASAW NATION, OKLAHOMA, and so far as I can tell... they stayed there. The family was still there in 1910, which is the last time that I could find Millard F. Veal in the census. Some information from a descendant on the web indicates that some of the children of Virgil Asa Veal also moved to OKLAHOMA, to "Wheeler, Indian Territory". Wheeler was in what is now Carter County, and Ardmore is the county seat. Ardmore is a CREEK name and I assume that Wheeler was in the CREEK NATION. The significance of these moves is unknown to me. The family is listed in the census in Oklahoma as "White". I looked through the Chickasaw and all other claims that were filed in what became the Dawes Roll, though, and found no claim made either by Millard Fillmore Veal or Elizabeth Bethany Sellers Veal... or any other Veal, or any Sellers known to be related to us. As I understand the situation, once the government started trying to break up the tribal governments and began assigning land in Oklahoma to specific individual Indians, much of it rapidly came into the hands of White land speculators and then to individual White small land owners. The oil boom in Oklahoma was a bit later, and the homesteaders' land boom was a bit earlier, but I guess in some respects Oklahoma was a frontier area at the time and maybe that's the only reason the Veals went there... Two half first cousins of these Veal brothers, Benjamin F. and William W. Veal each filed as "guardian" of one of the apparent total of four Free Blacks living in DeKalb County in 1861. Interestingly, William W. Veal was guardian for Doc Dorsey, age 50, born in Florida. If that age and birth place were correct, Doc Dorsey was born in Spanish Florida before the 1st Creek War. Richard M. Sellars' oldest brother, George W. Sellars, died in the Civil War. That left siblings named James Lunsford, who *may* have showed up in the 1870 census Habersham County... but I'm not sure of that; Josephine Sellars who may have shown up in Bainbridge, Decatur County GA in the 1870 census, but I'm not sure of that; Sabrams F. Sellers who may show up as Ann Sellers, a sister of "Georgian" Pollock wife of John Pollock in GMD 1194 in Mitchell County, Georgia... and Charles M. Sellers, of whom I have found as yet no hint of a trace. It is my best guess at this point, that "Georgian" Sellers Pollock was a previously unknown daughter of Jacob Benjamin and Georgia Ann Joiner Sellers (I have seen Georgia Ann Joiner Sellers' name written as "Georgian"), who was born after the 1860 census. The 1900 census shows her birth date as August of 1861!!! P.S. A note on the name "Sabrams". I believe that the name was probably actually Sabre Ann... a name that I have seen here and there in that time period though I have no idea of its derivation or significance. Therefore for "Sabrams" to show up as "Ann" seems reasonable to me. Richard White Tallahassee, FL
