     This Mary Iams= iams was the daughter of George and Mary (Sherman)
Sellers. You will find her listed in George Sellers 1837 Will of Green
County Pa. along with the listing of her two children (no names given for the
children). Mary Sellers was born in Green County about the year of 1810/12.
She married a Peter Iams from Morris Two. Green County, about the year
1832/33. Peter Iams died Sept. 7, 1836. I found in the Orphans Dockets
(which I. Fail to write down No. and page of book). That Mary's father George on
the date of Sept. 20, 1836 was granted guardian of their (Peter & Mary's Iams.)
two children, = Richard born April 6, 1834, and Sarah Rose born Nov, 1835.

You will find them living in George Sellers house hold in his 1837 Will.
Daughter Mary must had died about the 1st of June 1844. For I also found 0n
the June 1844 Orphan Court Docket, " June 12, 1844, Rule granted to Moses
Johnson Guardian of minor children of Peter Iams." I know that in the
Orphan Court Docket 3, p. 82 No, 13 February Term 1849 of Christian Sellers
Estate,
that it has Mary and the children Richard and Sarah as James, not Iams.
And
in said docket it list "Jon. Pheian Atty. of Roland Hughes as the guardian
of
these children" To verify what I have written above, and the true spelling
of
this last name " Iams" I am sending with this an attachment of the Orphan
Court Docket date November 17, 1849, Vol. 3, p. 130 No 12. Of the Green
County, Pa. Court given guardian to Roland Hughes. Along with this
attachment
I am also sending you another attachment of the Iams family line living in
Green County Pa. and in White County, Indiana. On line 72 of this Iams
family
line you will read of the marriage of Mary to Peter, and what became of
these
two children. Line 73, you will read about Roland Hughes.
