   Hello Marie,
I have read with interest your work and contributions to the Sellers
family.   With what you have made available, what Chick Fletcher of
Arkansas gave me, and what I have come up with on my own I have been
able to reconstruct back to the 1759 James Sellers, referred to as the
rev. war James.  (Aren't there a bunch of James ?)
Do you have anything about his parents or his wife.  There seems to be a
blank wall at him.
For there to have been so many Sellers when I was young, we are about
all gone now. My fathers (Walter Leonard) family was Reverend Jerry
Sellers of Boss Mo.  Of all the boys in the family there are only a
handful of younger Sellers boys to carry on.  Seems sad when you look
back at the ancestors.

Which branch are you from, Marie.  Also what part of Iowa are you from.
I spent a year in Maquoketa, Ia. with Sears Roebuck some years ago.
Iowa is a state I could easily move to and feel comfortable in.  I had a
very nice year there.

If I can be of any help to you with the Dent county or Crawford county
Sellers let me know.  I have the cemetery books plus the historical
books from there.

Regards,

Larry D. Sellers
Festus, MO.  (30 miles south of St. Louis)


LARRY,  I don't know how accurate that chart is or if it has had corrections made to
it?
Many of our SELLERS in NC were here BEFORE  the Scottish group came.
We  have a Mary Ann SELLERS born ca June 20, 1736 IRELAND died 1803  ROWAN CO, NC,
BUT,don't know how well documented this is, so we should get more info on same.

We do know that James SELLERS 1759/1842 WAS in CHATHAM CO, NC in 1779  (in 1770 this
area was ORANGE CO,NC)

Where we had a
THOMAS SELLERS born before 1734.
JAMES SELLERS born before 1738
ROBERT SELLERS born before 1740
SAMSON SELLERS born before 1740
JAMES SELLERS born before 1740  (could be same as above?)

ANY of these could be his parents. IF he was BORN here.

7-2-1804 Chatham Co, NC = JAMES SELLERS WILL=(probated Feb, 1806
Wife Patience
Son Young
Son Isaac
Son Robert
and REST OF CHILDREN (not named)

WE also know JAMES SELLERS l759/1842 was in BURKE CO, NC before he went to GRAINGER
CO, TN ca 1812.
JANUARY 1820 Burke Co, NC= #486 = JAMES SELLERS, presented for probate,
PROVED by Joshua HALL, John MORRISON and Charrity SELLERS qualified as executors.
Excerpt states NO will or estate settlement in Burke Co or State Archives.

PART OF THIS FAMILY went to RHEA/ROANE CO, TN

YOU must study ALL the info in these counties.  I believe a couple members have
linked several of these families together. But, I didn't see a link on these three county
pages and it probably should be there for others to study. =

You have given me some good leads Marie.  Thank you.  We (the Sellers's)
are fortunate to have you so involved in this.  I know I certainly see
your name a lot in looking over various papers.  I recently had two
descendants of Cornelius Sellers (the brother of my grandfather, Jerry,
that moved to Mrytle Creek, Oregon, write me.  And now we are
corresponding. They have filled out that line for me a lot.  They sent
pictures of the old home place out there from back then, and a picture
as it is now, being a bed and breakfast.
And I am almost finished scanning/labeling/cleaning up all the old
pictures I have of the George Sellers and Jerry Sellers families.  Will
put them all on cd and have available to family members for the future.

I also have a few digital photo's of grave stones from various
cemeteries if you get any requests for them.
We are down visiting the Sellers, Maple Grove, Boss, New Dillard
cemeteries a couple times a year and could fill any requests then.

I show a link to Iowa by Abraham Lenda "Jesse", 1730; John, 1770,
Chatham Co. NC, ; Joshaway, 1801, NC-1863, Iowa.
Is this by chance your branch ?

Sorry, this started out being a simple thank you and expanded.

Larry Sellers

Thanks Marie. I will get it together shortly, as my daughter from NC is
coming for a visit. You are becoming a celebrity in your own time you
know. I simply typed in 'marie sellers hollinger and Yahoo came back
with numberous pages on you. congratulations to you, altho I know you
have had to expend a lot of work to get this. A lot of us are fortunate
to have dedicated people like you. Also through your page I have been
corresponding with a (very distant) cousin from Oregon for some time,
Lorelee Sellers Dendau, who also has a page on your site.

LARRY, we have the SELLERS dna group.
And if you are a male SELLERS this is the group you would use to help prove your SELLERS lineage.

Give me a small chart of dad , granddad, ggrandad = names, ages, places and will see what we have and I can send you links to others close, maybe.

Thank you, marie, iowa
