Georgia, Like you, I recognize who most of these people are. I'm certainly familiar with the family of Theodore N. Sellers, his wife Jane, and their 6 children. Son John V. was actually John (D)unkam, and he married Lula Shaver. Son Edgar (B)rown married Mary Julia Mauzy. Son Theodore (N)orton married Louise Yates. Daughter Margaret (C)atherine married James Sipe and is buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in McGaheysville. If memory serves me correctly, their son eventually sold their land on which the Coors Plant is currently built in Rockingham County. Daughter Ada (L)ee never married and is also buried in Mt. Olivet. Son William married Rhoda Swartzel. I'm also very familiar with the Wood family and its own interesting connections to the Sellers. As seen from the Census, John (I)som Wood married Elizabeth Magadalene Maggard, daughter of Annie P. Maggard who is living in the household as well. Annie (P)ersilla Maggard was nee Sellers. She was indeed a sister to my 4 Great Grandfather, John Conrad Sellers. Annie (22 March 1802 - 18 Oct 1889) is buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Anna and John Conrad's sister, Elizabeth Sellers, was also living with them. Elizabeth (1 Nov. 1791 - 4 June 1884) never married and is also buried at Mt. Olivet. All of the Wood's were eventually buried at Mt. Olivet as well. Here's where it gets interesting. John I. Wood's sister, Martha E. Wood, married John Wiklif Sellers, son of John Conrad Sellers and Catherine Brown. I recently spent a month tracking what happened to Martha and John which took me from VA to Texas and back again. A third Wood sibling, George, married Leonora Bell, daughter of William H. Bell and Eveline Shields. William H. Bell's sister and hence Leonora's Aunt, was Frances S. Bell. Frances S. Bell was the 2nd wife of John Conrad Sellers after the death of his first wive, Catherine Brown, in 1842. Interesting and confusing all at the same time! Unfortunately, off the top of my head, I do not recognize the identity of the Thomas A. Sellers and Oscar D. Sellers listed as grandsons in the Mary M. Gilmore household. I'll have to take a look at my notes once I get home this evening and see if I have anything there. I'll keep an eye out, too, for any Hickles that might appear in the mix somehow as well. Will post what, if anything, I find as soon as I can.
