>>> Good luck on the hunt for information about Sellers. Btw, I'm always on the outlook since I have seen an old Eyman deed where the lands in Penn Township somewhere out toward Cumberland was adjacent to that of Henry Seller/Zeller. The deed was dated 1770. I'm not sure how far back one can get though I did a quick google and could sure find a lot. I tend to go to "books" and search the pdfs. Here's a quick sample: Abstracts of land Grant Surveys of Augusta and Rockingham: Christopher Dupo, 38 acres. Adjoining Michael Sellers, Solomon Mathews, Ruben Harrison, May 6, 1789. Wayland's Virginia Valley records p. 111 shows a military voucher 1788 for having served (apparently) with/for Captain Richard Ragan's Company #13. The listing shows 1 tithable (likely self), son Jacob, 4 horses. More vouchers: On p.115, John Sellers is listed with sons Jacob and John with 8 horses directly next to Peter Sr. with sons John, Jacob, and 7 horses., and p. 115: Adam with sons Cristian, Henry, Peter, and 9 horses, Peter with 3 horses. Landowners for 1789 showed Sellers: Michael, John, Adam, Peter, Sr. I'm not sure this will help. You might take that deed from 1789 which clarifies that Michael was clearly there and explore with online land resources at University of Virginia.. or see if you can find other information by looking at deeds and/or surveys of Dupo, Mathews, Harrison. Best of luck.. >>> I'm trying to see how early Michael began >> appearing on the Tax Lists and >>> whether such info locates him around or close to any >> other Sellers in the >>> - - - - - - - - - - Stephen Iman sciman@csupomona.edu 24242 Porto Fino, Dana Point CA 92629 949-496-3774 "Tell me and I'll forget...Involve me and I'll learn"
