Michael, if I remember correctly, on your earlier World Connect you had the Sellers from Rockingham County, Virginia. In 1850 Rockingham County, Virginia, I found the following: 1850 Rockingham County, Virginia 56 1/2 District Enumerated on November 14, 1850 Image 289 and 290 on Ancestry.com census records HH#449 Elizabeth Shiry,61, F, VA; Jacob Shiry, 22, M, VA, farmer; Elizabeth Shiry, 25, F, VA; Daniel Shiry, 20, M, VA Many times when they have the age out of sequence like this, it is because it is a daughter-in-law rather than a daughter. I realize the ages are slightly off but it does have Elizabeth as two years older than Jacob and your records show her two years older also. Don't discount this as being Elizabeth Magdalene Sellers Shirey until you can prove it is not. Am I correct about Rockingham County? Is it close to Augusta County?

Elizabeth Magdalene Sellers was born March 24, 1823, was a sister to Jerome H.B. Sellers, and both were indeed children of John Conrad Sellers and Catherine Brown. Elizabeth married Jacob Shirey on November 21, 1843. Beyond that, I have no other info concerning them. I have no record of any children and no record of what happened to them after that. Again, thank you for the effort in finding Jacob on the 1880 Census. That's the first info of any kind that I've really seen about him. Very much interested in anything additional that you can magically find about them :-) Thanks for all your efforts and assistance. Its been greatly appreciated!

Shirey, W, F, 57, VA Michael, you said you could not find what happened to Elizabeth Magadelene Sellers that married Jacob Shirey. I would venture to say that she has died by 1880 and Jacob is married to a Lucy A. Unknown. I'll try earlier census records and see if he is married to Elizabeth M. Sellers. Elizabeth Magadelene Sellers born March 1823, Augusta County, Virginia, is a sister to Jerome H. B. Sellers, children of John Conrad Sellers and Catherine Brown. Georgia
