Marie, Yes, this is 'my family'. Jerome and Margaret SELLERS were my Great Great Grandparents. The George Sellers, age 8, that is listed on the Census was my Great Grandfather, George W. Sellers, who eventually was deeded the farm from Jerome. George's only son, Whitfield T. Sellers, was my grandfather who passed away May 6, 2002 at the age of 94. Whitfield had gotten the farm when George passed in 1950. The "Howard, John, and Willie" listed on the 1880 Census is the Samuel Howard, John Newton, and William Arthur SELLERS in question. It is unclear when these 3 sons moved to the midwest ... Samuel Howard to South Dakota while John Newton and William Arthur went to Iowa. I have a family picture of Jerome, Margaret, their children and grandchildren taken at the house on their farm outside of Churchville, Augusta County, Virginia in what I believe was in early Spring, 1907. Samuel Howard, John Newton, and William Arthur are all present in the picture with the rest of the family. Thus, I believe their migration to the Iowa and Dakota territories was not only after 1907 but was probably even after June 1910 when father Jerome Howard Brown SELLERS died. A check of the 1910 Augusta County Virginia Census could possibly confirm (or deny) that. As for the 1900 Census, Jerome and Margaret should still be found on the same farm outside of Churchville in Augusta County, Virginia. Jerome got the farm from his father, John Conrad Sellers, and then passed it on to his own son, George W. Sellers. I'm not familiar with the "1910 STAUNTON, ?? , WASH POST, WASH DC" reference nor with the Staunton County reference that has been made. Jerome H.B. and Margaret R. (Bell) SELLERS lived on the farm in Churchville until their deaths, and both are buried in the Green Hill Cemetery in Churchville, Virginia. I believe Staunton County was once the area immediately surrounding the now-independent city of Staunton. However, that area is no longer "Staunton County".

My Great Great Grandparents, Jerome Howard Brown Sellers (14 Nov. 1825 - 27 Feb. 1910) and Margaret R. Bell (2 Nov. 1832 - 17 June 1907) were both born in Augusta County, Virginia and had 14 children. Three of the children left Virginia and moved to the midwest. Samuel Howard Sellers (17 Feb. 1865 - 2 Aug. 1940) married (1) Clara M. Bruce and (2) Fannie Gulton and lived in South Dakota. Samuel and Clara had 6 children that settled in Mt. Vernon, Madison, Hot Springs, and Yankton, South Dakota and Clarenson, Illinois. John Newton Sellers (13 Jan. 1869 - 7 Aug. 1945) married Gertrude Lowell and lived in Iowa. John and Gertrude had at least two children, and they settled in and around Emmettsburg, Iowa. William Arthur Sellers (6 Mar. 1870 - Feb. 1935) married Ida Harrell. I don't have a record of any children nor where exactly that William Arthur Sellers and Ida Harrell settled in Iowa. Travelling in 1981 with my grandfather Whitfield T. Sellers, who's father George W. Sellers was a brother to the three sons listed above, I had the pleasure of meeting most of the offspring of these sons. I'd love to hear from anyone who might be a descendant of these sons. I have quite a bit of info on the offspring of these sons of Jerome H.B. and Margaret R. Bell Sellers but not much info on the final resting place of the sons nor really anything about their life.
