Does anyone else think that "T/Y" could stand for "the young/younger"? Just a thot.

These brothers were Robert Sr. of Burke County, NC, James T/Y Sellers of Chatham County, NC and a brother John who supposedly went to Pennsylvania and had a corn mill. Robert Sellers Jr., son of Robert Sr., is the one that went to Sellersburg, Indiana (He also had a son named Young Sellers). If David Sellers is the son of Robert Sr. or John Sellers he is the nephew of James T/Y Sellers of Chatham. I've done quite a bit of research on Robert Sellers Sr. of Burke and do not have a son listed named David Sellers. A lady in Austin, TX paid professional researchers to research Robert Sellers Sr. of Burke County, NC and did not come up with a son named David. Perhaps your David is the son of John Sellers, brother to Robert Sr. and James T/Y. No one has ever been able to trace the descendants or even find him. I would look around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to see if you could find him there. I would love it if you were descended from John Sellers - it would be a major breakthrough in our research.
