HERMON - Thanks, wouldn't it be nice to have a map showing these areas of
our
SELLERS. I found a ? map at first try = this was just Pisgah Ridge. If I
put
in another name, would probably get another type map?

 There is a paperback book,of 30 years ago, easily available.
 or hard back in a library,by Allen Eckart,called ' The Frontiersman"

 Nearby grew the village of Washington,Ky,the 1st county seat. And 4 miles
 north
 of it,on the Ohio River, grew Maysville,the 2nd county seat,and once
 called
 Limestone.
 If one wanted to pinpoint Leonard Sellers,and had a Ky map,he was between

 Augusta  and Dover, near the river. Whether in a river bottom,or up a
 mile long hill
  I know not. And if one had only an Ohio Map, just across the river south
 of
 Higginsport,Oh would be roughly correct.  I have worked a few days,on the

 Ohio River hill, just north of Higginsport. and most likely could have
 seen his cabin
 site,if I knew to look,just across the river. Augusta was in view,but not
 Dover,Ky.
 To the n e of where I workrd,across WHITE OAK creek valley, were some of
 the hill-top farms
 connected with the Sellers in Ohio. And a couple miles further
 east,across Straight
 Creek valley,were even more,including Pisgah Ridge. I'LL GUESS ,IN "Brown
 co Ohio Soil Surveys"
 I have a single aerial photo showing all my wife's Sellers locations,,in
 both states,for the
 photo's show both sides of the Ohio River.

 > All info I have found states that Josephus WATERS was born about 1739/41
at "Water's Lotte," Ann Arundel Co MD to John Waters, Sr. and Mary Ijams (I
think Iams).  Think IAMS appear in Leckey's TEN MILE COUNTRY, but I haven't
checked for connection.  He married Margaret Lansdale (maybe 2nd a Mary
Keech) and died in Apr 1837 in Mason Co KY.  None of his descendants appear
to be directly connected to SELLERS that I can find, but I don't know that
I
have a complete list of his children.  I did find one or two familiar
surnames among his descendants, but it is probably just coincidence.  Don't
know which WATERS married daughter of Leonard Sellers.
 >
 > SHERRY

 LEONARD SELLERS daughter in will of 1823 is SALLY WATERS, deceased-
 BUT, we don't know Where She lived or KIDS lived now in 1823?
 This is When I wondered, if we have WATERS back in Greene/Wash Co, PA?

 DO WE have the early WATERS marriages posted with BONDSMENS, etc =

 LEONARD SELLERS died /will 1823 probably isn't the one on our 1810 census
as
HOH.
 is he living with someone OR is Somewhere Else?
 LEONARD SELLERS on 1820 BRACKEN CO, KY census = POSSIBLE = WE Need someone
to REREAD /RECHECK these AGES.

 THANKS, marie, iowa

BILL, our MASON CO, KY web page (believe this is what HERMON wanted sent to
you)
http://showcase.netins.net/web/sellerfamily/kymason.htm

NOT a Lot of Info on there - But, Links that will take you to other pages
in this area, that maybe shows some of the descriptions of land HERMON has
shared with us.

WE have posted CHURCH info  in the past to these areas - But, Don't think
we have a page for Same. Very Important!  Mind was on film and only
extracted SELLERS = Didn't Know All these other names then!  marie, iowa
