I have searched on the internet records( i.e. census, cemetary, marriage, death, land deeds) for North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennesse and some in Georgia and Kentucky. I have not been able to find out any other information on any of the Sellers in this group. I plan to write to Mitchell County Clerk of Court (which is my home town) to see if they have a death certificate for Deppie Jane Sellers Pitman perhaps they may have a death certificate for Pink Sellers as well and hopefully that will provide some clues. As for marriage records, so far I have searched in all the above states for each person of the Sellers family and have not uncovered anything yet. North Carolina did not require marriage license in the early years and this may be why I have not found out anything yet. My grandmother Nellie Pitman daughter of Deppie has been deceased now for about 15-20 years and I unfortunately, before her passing I did not ask her for much information. Mitchell County used to be part of Burke County, which was at one time was part of Rutherford County. Alot of the early records for Burke County were destroyed in a fire. I found Elijah Sellers name listed in the 1810 census for Rutherford County. I found in early Burke County marriages Betsey Sellars married William Clark 4-07-1821 and John Sellers was the witness. Hattie Sellers - I did find one listed in Fulton, Kentucky as married to Royce Riddick in West Memphis Arkansas (this information came from TN GENWEB Crocke County Newspaper). Children were Mrs. T. Warren Garrett of Murfressboro, TN, and Mary Sue & Gladys Riddick of Atlanta, GA. In the 1850 census for Rutherford County I found. Felix Sellers Mary Sellers Phillip Sellers William Sellers M-432, 625 pgs. 183, 184, 176 No Twp listed In Rutherford County Deeds I found: Grantor Grantee Type Deed# Year Huddleston, William to Issac Sellers/Gift/6-Apr/138/1797 Carson, John to Michal Sellers/ 25/34/1809 So far this is all I have uncovered. I would like to keep in touch with each other so that perhaps we can exchange information. I can give you the childrens names of Mack and Deppie Pitman if you would like. I am not a member of any of the websites that offer access to the census images/records, so what information that I have found has been done by searching for many many hours and many websites to obtain this information. Thanks, Deena

Marie, I have just been outbid by lhadfield for $100.00. I can only believe that this must be a Sellers as no old Bible could possibly be worth that much to a stranger or reseller in it's condition. I await your advisement. Bev in WA

BEV, I kinda do also. I would let them have it and hopefully they will contact us after the sale is final. As a few letters have been sent and should be sent on to them after final. WE all did the best we could! THANK YOU for your good efforts and time. marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: BEVERLY TAYLOR [mailto:bevt@olypen.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 8:23 PM To: SELLERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SELLERS] Re: Sellers Bible Marie, I have just been outbid by lhadfield for $100.00.
