JERRY, thank you. Samuel SELLERS 1844 death certificate list parents? also the Thomas SELLERS 1835 SC , do we know where he went after 1850? He would be the one we need to know WHERE born. was he in civil war or perhaps he died before 1860? or he may have married and took off. WE don't know Jeannie/Jeanettes maiden name? One note shows her born in Chester Co., SC, which could link to Thomas Sellers that went to Echols/Lowndes Co., GA. WE also don't have them on an 1840 census with one child? Lots of possibilities, Need some more documents.
