If Homer SIMPSON (another Surname in the SELLERS' line) were here......he's say "doh" ! This is what happens when my filing cabinet on AOL disappears into thin air and i try and go by memory. of all the things i've lost.... i miss my mind the most. anyhow........OLIVE Sellers married Galen (sp?) CROOK and after he died, OLIVE married DITTO.......... see......http://showcase.netins.net/web/sellers2/jacobsellers1793.htm then.....http://www.geocities.com/arizona1900/Ditto.html i guess i was just so darn excited to see a "relation" that i got the gurls mixed up ! i have tons (literally pages and pages) from Rollie........and other information on the McMillan side from Gene "Ol Gene" McMillan who i last heard from while R.V.ing around the states about 1 1/2 years ago. i would love to know who you went to visit in IOWA and NEBRASKA. as you know.......many historial ties in Hardin County......WEALTHY is buried there with husband John B HENDERSON and numerous other HENDERSON's and 7 direct relatives from DAVIS and GEORGE. have you been to BUCKNER Cemetery ? see....http://www.rootsweb.com/~iahardin/cem-recs/buckner_cem.htm i've been searching for SOPHONIA's (daughter to George) husband POYNES or POYNS (i'm digressing here again) and DAVIS' wife, Mary Ugena FERGUSON died and is buried in Clay County Nebraska. There is also a MILLSLAGLE buried in Buckner Cemetery and he was in my DAVIS' Civil War Unit Iowa 32nd Company F. this cemetery took me in 10 different directions. anyhow......thought i'd throw out those tips to you and the group. it's snowing here again tonight in Redmond, Washington. it's beautiful but only an inch or two. i can only imagine that snow is no big deal to you in ohio but it's always the BIG news here by Microsoft. after you get unpacked and wade thru all the emails......lemme know what information you have on your direct and in-direct lines. you can send them to me as an attachment or snail mail. i'm trying to figure out where the JACKSON part comes in. Many thanks to MARIE for allowing me to ramble on this list and read all the posts about ALL the SELLERS. MARIE, what a great service you provide to us all........thanks ! dawn Marie Sellers dawngurl@aol.com great-granddaughter to Civil War Veteran Davis John Sellers Iowa 32nd Company F
