To Carl Elbert Sellars of Williamson County, IL: Also to Thomas W. 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. Georgia
