Bill, I'm going to Georgia this weekend for a family reunion for my Williamson side, let me ask around about these names and I will let you know something when I return. I know that they are from the Mitchell, Thomas and Colquitt County areas. Both my parents families are from the same area. My Grandfather Sellers came to Plant City Fla. in 1960 which is where I was raised and still live. Thanks for looking into this for me, I will get back to you soon.
