Marie, Thanks for the great info. It helps to explain a little bit on the brothers. Georgia's earlier info for William Arthur Sellers from the 1930 Iowa Census shows him as being in Madison County. Now, we find Howard Sellers 30 years earlier also in Madison County, Iowa prior to his move to S.D. It would therefore appear that the 3 brothers originally settled in Madison County, Iowa after the move from Virginia. The people listed prove definitively that this is Census info for Samuel Howard Sellers, son of Jerome H.B. and Margaret R. (Bell) Sellers. Samuel Howard's first wife, Clara, is listed along with son Jerome Bruce and daughters Mary Elizabeth and Leona Marie. The birth year listed for "LEO" (Leona Marie) is incorrect, tho. She was born in 1899 not 1889. I would assume that both of the other 2 brothers, John Newton Sellers and William Arthur Sellers, would be/could be found in the 1900 Madison County, Iowa Census. Samuel Howard is the only one of the 3 who eventually went to SD, so its doubtful there is any family info for them in Davison Co, SD as early as 1900. You are correct in believing that George was still in VA in 1910. George, born in 1871, remained in VA and always lived in VA. He eventually inherited the farm outside of Churchville (Augusta County) Virginia from Jerome H.B. Sellers when Jerome passed 27 Feb 1910.
