    1. [SELLERS] Re: Adam Sellers b. 1742
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JWGBAEB/1134.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Gracie, You're in luck :-) I'm pretty familiar with the line of Sellers that you descend from. I'm most familiar with the early part of the family history concerning the immediate family of Jacob Sellers and of his son, George, that you mentioned. I can fill you in on information from that earlier part of the family. I'll rely on you for family info concerning your line more recently. Adam was my 5 Great Grandfather. In the course of researching him, I have seen the FamilySearch info that you mention that lists Jacob as being a son of Adam. Unfortunately, that info is entirely incorrect but is still out there to trip people up in their research. Jacob Sellers was Adam's nephew, not his son. Jacob was the son of Adam's older brother, Johannes Zeller (John Sellers), and is buried in the Pioneer Cemetery in Warren County, Ohio. Pictures of Jacob's gravestone are posted online, and I can send you the weblink if you'd like. You and I do share ancestors in the form of Adam's and John's parents, Heinrich and Anna Maria (FECHTER) Zeller. I descend from Heinrich via Adam while you descend from Heinrich via John. If you'd like, I can give you an overview of your side of the family and your ancestry via your email address. I don't know how much I can post here and wouldn't want to bog anyone down with details that aren't pertinent to them. I'll send you details of your Sellers line from what I have and hopefully can answer any questions you might have. Talk to you soon, cousin! Michael
