W. BATTIN [mailto:sbattin2034@msn.com] Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2004 8:21 PM To: mari@netins.net Subject: Sellers family Mari, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything or gotten back to you, but we had a computer failure and a new e-mail address and so on. I've found John H. Sellers in the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses, all in Chicago, but haven't seemed to be able to locate him any earlier. I have a copy of a marriage license for a John H. -- or perhaps C, believe it or not -- Sellers and Annie Appel on Feb. 18, 1889. I can't find any trace of the marriage license for him and Lilly Appel, her sister, who married him after Annie died. Annie left one daughter, Lillian Sellers, I believe. The rest of the children are my great-grandmother Lilly's, I believe. She died when my grandfather, Willis, was 10, so that would be about 1914. Willis' other siblings were Frederick, Harry, Emmett, Roy, Mildred, Edward and John. They were all born in Chicago. My grandfather died in 1949 in Chicago, a couple of years before I was born, so I never heard any stories from him. Do we have any connections? I'm so sorry to be forward and e-mail you directly. I hope you don't mind. Thank you, Sandy McCraw Battin
