THANK YOU for sharing SELLERS marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: Sellers, Clyde A [mailto:selleca@chevrontexaco.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 6:33 AM To: SELLERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [SELLERS] Louis Matthew Sellers Mystery/ST MARTIN, la Marie and Ed, I am very interested in this line of Sellers. I am a descendant of these guys through Emile Sellers who was the son Lewis Mathew Sellers according to Ed's research. I have been watching for any information on these guys because it pretty much stops at the senior Mathew. I have a family tree compiled by some of the Sellers clan who reside in Abbeville, Louisiana and they do not list the junior Mathew as Louis Mathew. I think there is a bust in our tree because they have the father of Mathew senior as being the controversial William Sellers who lived in Tarboro in 1750. Please keep up the good work on researching this line of Sellers. This is the first time I see an interest in this line. The descendants of Emile ended up settling down in an around Abbeville , Louisiana. Thanks Again.

I believe we need Documents to EACH item. I thought we had a marriage license FEB 8, 1796 ST MARTIN , LA = MATHIEU SELLERS and MARIE AUCOIN BUT, I can NOT find original, perhaps just NOT proven/OR we don't have document, etc? HE is NOT proven as a LEWIS MATHEW SELLERS born 1772? so, I would NOT use these other first /middle Names until PROVEN. AND when/how did YOU prove to LEWIS MATHEW SELLERS??? I see charts connected to SC and NC = PERHAPS kids place of parents birth in 1880? OR how proven? = WE can use Other Charts to kinda help us prove back to these counties/states of our PROVEN SELLERS. BUT, we must Prove Each Family thro the years = census,marriages, deaths, etc. DON'T think we have on this family, BUT, we can start/continue. 1790 where are we = 1800 where are we = PLEASE understand what we need. marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: EHUDSONIII@aol.com [mailto:EHUDSONIII@aol.com] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 1:34 PM To: SELLERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SELLERS] Louis Matthew Sellers Mystery There was a man named Louis Matthew Sellers who was born in Charleston, South Carolina on March 15, 1772. He married Marie Reine Aucoin in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana in 1796. Louis Matthew's parents are identified as Matthew Sellers and Esther Neel in St. Martin Parish Church records. However, My records indicate that the Matthew Sellers who married Esther Neel was the son of (William) Benjamin Sellers Jr. and Letitia Duncan, and that he was born about 1780. He did have a son named Matthew born about 1802. Obviously something is amiss. Can anyone help me straighten this out? -Ed Hudson ehudsoniii@aol.com
