Are there any male Sellers on the Sellers List with the Surname of Sellers who descend from James Y/T Sellers who died 1805 in Chatham County, NC? At the end of this email is a list of known children of James Sellers of Chatham. I would love to see a DNA text done to see if this Young Sellers that Tom is mentioning is related to the Chatham County, NC and later Maury County, TN Sellers. Bill Timmons have you corresponded with any male relatives with the Surname Sellers? I have never had contact with a male Sellers from our line, which is Isaac Sellers who married Judith Johnson and is a son of James Y/T Sellers who died 1805 in Chatham County, NC.

He was born about 1789 in North Carolina. He is the son of Judith Sellars of Hall County Georgia. Judith died about 1850 and left a will naming her children as, Young, David, James, Hiram, Catherine Green of South Carolina, Mary Byford, Happy Hanes, Cynthia Flynn and Nancy Cockram. Judith was approximately 100 years of age at her death. She was born about 1750 in North Carolina. Young Sellars is first found on the 1830 census in Jackson County Alabama married to Sarah Unknown and he is a blacksmith. Young died between 1860-1870 in Jackson County Alabama. We have documents that tie Young to his mother Judith. Carl Sellars and I believe that Young Sellars was married first to Margaret Green, abt 1792 in Caswell County North Carolina. They are believed to have been married in Pendleton District South Carolina. Margaret Green is found in Saint Clair County Alabama in 1820 living close to the David Sellars mentioned above (brother of Young). Margaret Sellars remarried in 1820 to Arch Walker and died about 1849 in St. Clair County Alabama. Margaret Sellars on the 1820 census had 4 children that have been identified as Burwell, George W., Melinda and an Unknown daughter. Carl descends from Burwell and I descend from George W. Carl and I have had the DNA test and have determined that we definitly descend from a common ancestor which we believe to be Young Sellars of Alabama. Many questions still remain. We are not conclusive that Judith's husband was David or that he was as son of Young. There also is Ruth Sellars that married in Hall County Georgia that we was not mentioned in Judith's will that we cannot tie into. Also there is some connection with Judith and Fayette County Georgia and Sellars found there. These Sellars also tie to Sellars in Tennessee. We also have no idea where Young Sellars was in 1820 census since he was not listed with Margaret. Carl belives that our line descends from the Robert Sellers that you mentioned but we have not been able to put it together at this time. Any help that you could give would be greatly appreciated. If you need any further information I will try to find. Thanks Tom Tom Sellars, CPA HEREFORD, LYNCH, SELLARS & KIRKHAM, P.C.

Sellars of Walker County, TX I was looking at your ancestor charts and note that you have Young Sellers from Chatham County, NC as your 3rd great grandfather. The only Young Sellers that I know that was in Chatham was the son of James Y/T Sellers and was still living in Chatham County, NC in the 1850 census. Deed Records show that James Y/T Sellers had dealings with a David Sellers but I do not know who he is. David Sellers is possibly the son of James Y/T Sellers that died in Chatham circa 1805. Are you sure that David had a son named Young? Here are the known children of James T/Y Sellers (I have often wondered if the name is James Young Sellers): James T/Y Sellers born circa 1735 Scotland or England died 1805 Chatham County, North Carolina married Patience Parker, who died 1812 in Maury County, Tennessee Known children: James Sellers, Jr. born abt 1756; Robert Sellers born abt 1765 married Sarah Bynum; Ruth Sellers born abt 1768 married Isham Bilbrey; Isaac Sellers, Sr. abt 1769 Orange County, NC died 1830 Maury County, Tennessee married Judith Johnson, this is my Sellers line; John Sellers born abt 1770 NC died 1824 Maury County, TN married Elizabeth Hart; Laird Sellers born 13 Dec 1771 Chatham County, NC died 1862 Moniteau County, Missouri married Anne Hackney and #2 Elizabeth Goodwin; Patience Sellers born abt 1774 Chatham County, NC died abt 1812 Maury County, TN; married Wiley Griffin; Rachel Sellers born abt 1775 Chatham County, NC , died Overton County, TN, married John Hammock; Young Sellers born abt 1784 Chatham County, NC, died 1850-1860 Chatham County, NC married Elizabeth Hackney; The name Young Sellers is a family name used by both James T/Y Sellers and his brother Robert Sellers that lived in Burke County, NC. I would like to know more about your Young Sellers to see if we can tie the families together.
