    3. Hi Michele, Dr. T.N. (Theodore Napoleon) Sellers was a younger brother of my great great grandfather. Dr. T.N. was a grandson of the Henry Sellers, Sr. I mentioned in the earlier email. Dr. T.N. homesteaded on land that was formerly owned by Henry Sellers, Sr. Good possibility that what Dr. T.N. owned is also under the Coors plant now. "E. Sellers" was Emanuel Sellers, Sr., who's line ran parallel to my own. "Peter Sellers" was actually John Peter Sellers, son of Emanuel. John Shifflett's son, Robert Lee Shifflett, later married Mamie Belle Sellers, who was a granddaughter of the aforementioned John Peter Sellers. They were indeed all close to Island Ford, and that's certainly the right area. Shame the circa 1936 WPA report only made notations that 3 churches were there without actually naming them. I wonder if the churches went the way of any cemeteries close by, i.e., lost to history. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated!

Sellers and one for a Peter Sellers and one for E. Sellers. I also found residences belonging to a John Shiflett (that's how it's spelled--one F and two T's) and a H. W. Shiflett all close to Island Ford. My husband makes deliveries (fuel oil, gas and diesel to homes and farms) in that area and he's never seen any remains of old churches or cemeteries.
