ROGER, thanks for keeping us up to date. Sorry, I can NOT follow the line/ family from IN to MO = YOU/WE need documents to prove families AND marriages/census/ to follow families ADVISE, marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: R S [mailto:n5eea@InsightBB.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 9:50 PM To: 'Marie Sellers-Hollinger' Subject: RE: [SELLERS] Re: Wm H Sellers/PHELPS CO, MO Marie, I think I closed the loop tonight. I am in the Phelps Co. Sellers that spreads from PA/KY/IN/MO. I found a message relating to Chambers-Sellers and got a response from Amanda Swatling. She is in the Chambers line and not really studying Sellers. She had names and some dates for Eliza Ann Chambers being married to James nelson Sellers. The names and birth dates of their children, name of man Eliza married after James Nelson died and children by the new husband. She confirmed my information on James Nelson being born in Putnam Co, In and died in Rolla, Mo. The names she had for children match what I had plus matched the census names and dates. James nelson has been my shaky link. I think it is now solid. Names/Dates from my aunt's family bible go back to James Nelson and Eliza but did not call him James nelson, only refered to as James and Eliza. She had a photo of them. If traced the PA Sellers lines and figured where my line fits in the klan from Nathaniel David now to me. At this point, I pretty much feel comfortable with the data and scrutiny of such. My only missing link is to my grandfather. We have no idea when/where he died. We think in California, possibly San Francisco area. No real contact with him since he left the family back in the 40's. SSI possibilities in ca. are a bust so far. His name was William Harvey Cornelius Sellers Jr. Most likely did not use Cornelius or Jr in common name. Any info on his burial location would settle LOTS of questions. But I'll take one issue at a time. My best to you and others in the Sellers list that helped me work through this. Many thanks to all. Warmest Regards, Roger Sellers
