Then at my death, I leave unto my beloved wife, Patience Sellers, my house and land and one half of all my perishable property in living her life or widowhood freely to be processed without any interruptions of any person whatsoever. In turn, I give the other half of my perishable property to my beloved son, Young Sellers, freely to be processed without any interruptions after leaving also one shilling sterling each of the rest of my children that is alive after the death of my wife, then my land and all the rest I give Young Sellers and I hereby make and ordain my worthy friend, Patience Sellers, my wife, and my beloved sons, Isaac Sellers and Robert Sellers Executors of this my last will and testament in witness whereof, I, the said James Sellers have to this last will and testament set my hand, set it the day and year above written. Signed and sealed and published and declared by the signed James Sellers, the testator as his last will and testament in presence of us who were present at the time of signing and sealing there of. Witnesses: Samuel Crawford, James Sellers, John Hamock Jr. I am not seeing records of David Sellers after 1795. He was living exactly next door to James Sellers in 1790 Chatham County, NC, however. In one of the above deed James Sellers mentions that John Sellers is his son but does not say the same about David Sellers. This is why I have never listed him as a son. I wonder if David Sellers is possibly a son of James' brother John Sellers that we have never been able to locate. Family tradition says he went to Pennsylvania (Philadelphia area) and had a corn mill.

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 Seller: 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.
