Georgia, Perhaps you have already answered this, but I guess I missed it. If so, please overlook my ignorance. Wondering if you had a chance to look or had found additional Census info for the 3rd brother, John Newton Sellers and wife F. Gertrude Lowell in Iowa. I see below where you kindly forwarded the info you found for them from the 1930 Greene County, Iowa, Census. It appears that Samuel Howard was in Iowa perhaps as early as 1895. We found William Arthur as a laborer in Madison County Iowa on the 1900 Census. So, at least two of the brothers were in Iowa during that time. Now, I've only seen the 1930 Census info for John Newton and Gertrude being in Greene County but haven't see anything else pointing to where they were earlier than that. I suspect they, too, were in Madison County early on but have no proof as of yet. Gertrude certainly was as her State of Birth is listed as Iowa. John and Gertrude married on 7 Feb 1901, so they will appear apart until the 1910 Census. Beginning on the 1910 Census, they should have two daughters with them, Margaret Virginia (born 18 Feb 1902) and Marguerite Allison (16 July 1907). I'm guessing that John was in Iowa by the time of the 1900 Census but again have no proof to back that up. I apologize in advance if I'm being quite the pain on this. I very much appreciate the help and info so far. It has meant a great deal.

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. Michael Sellers
