    1. Re: [SELLERS] Robert Sellers and Jane Surratt
    2. Georgia, That’s interesting about your Isaac Sellers who died in TN in 1830. As his wife Judith was born in 1772, we can assume (for the sake of argument) that Isaac might have been born around the same time – the 1760’s or 70’s. My only guess is that my Sellers must have migrated from the east coast to Tennessee before yours did and that your Isaac and my John (died circa 1829 in TN) are somehow distant cousins. Our Sellers eventually migrated further into Alabama around the time of the civil war and then west toward Utah and Arizona in the late 1800’s. John’s son Robert was born in 1805 in Maury County, TN and died in 1851 in Dekalb County, Alabama – it was this Robert that married into the Surratt family (distant cousin by marriage of the woman – Mary Surratt – that was hung for her involvement in the assassination of President Lincoln). Unfortunately Maryland is a good hike from Maury County, TN so I cannot physically sift through the county records. Travis
