They also had Cherokee blood on their mother's side too,having at least one grandmother of Cherokee orgin,making their grandmother Lavinia Brack at least one quarter blood Cherokee. ------------------------------------ Mary--this just caught my eye--I have a ggrandma Jennie Ann Anderson, ggrandpa made her mad by calling her Black Dutch. My dad said she would be ready to kill when he called her that. Did this record give the names of the two Anderson girls ancestors, did they have a brother to pass the name down? Sandyfroglegs [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] From: "Sara Sellers" Hi Lou, I am going to try to rewrite the info that Steve sent me. I did not want to wait until I get back home.So here goes. Let me first begin with the family of Alfred Sellers and Elizabeth Anderson.

Elizabeth and her husband were married in the same ceromony with her sister Lavinia who married William Calvin Sellers Jr. a brother to Alfred. Elizabeth and her husband came to Ala. with husband and the large Sheppard clan from Jefferson Co. Ga.in the 1820''s. Probate Records: (1) 2 March 1812 ,Book A,page 231; "It appearing to the court that Elisha Anderson and Willaim Sheppard have regularly applied for Letters of Administration on the estate of Elijah Anderson,late of Richmond Co. deceased,it is therefore ordered that Letters of Administration do issue" Probate Records: (2) 21 Jan 1817 ,probate book B,page 35{Which yields proof of Elijah's children}"On the application of of Elijah Anderson,William Shepard,Charles Frtwell,Young Allen,Eleazor Anderson,Benjamine Perdue,Lavinia aanderson Sen,.....for herself and as guardian of Elijah Anderson,Nancy Anderson and Sally Anderson and Elizabeth Anderson Levinah{sic}Anderson,Junr.and James Hammet all heirs and legatees of Elijah Anderson,deceased,for an order to divide the personal estate of said deceased....therefore ordered....be divided......and it appearing to the courts that the Negroes are incapable of being divided between said heirs,for there being a greater numbers of heirs than Negros......ordered that said Negos be sold.{copy from Bobbie Jones Mclane} Land patent records; The earliest land records of Alfred Sellers was 1829 when he purchased 80 acres in Sec18 Twp 14 rng 20 at Cahaba,on Febuary 2,1829,recorded ;Vol.II,page 392,Patented 16 Nov. 1830.Montgomery Co.Ala.:and later when he purchased 29 acres of land on 14 Dec.1846 in Coosa Co.

William Calvin Sellers Sr,(1) entered the Revolutionary War at the age of 16 and fought for 6 years and at one time was a prisoner of The Tories.Similar records were found on Elisha Sellers,and several persons have joined the DAR on his records. An article in Memorial Records Of Ala. states that William Calvin Sellers Sr. lived to be 100 years old,also that he died in NC. His widow came to Ala.

In part 3 ,I want to discuss sisters Lavinia and Elizabeth Anderson who married Sellers brothers. Each had Cherokee Blood on the paternal and maternal side. They had two grandmothers who were of the Cherokee Tribe on their fathers side that made their Father half Cherokee. They also had Cherokee blood on their mother's side too,having at least one grandmother of Cherokee orgin,making their grandmother Lavinia Brack at least one quarter blood Cherokee. Alfred Sellers himself may have had Cherokee Blood too. His paternal grandmother Mary Willis was probably a member of the Cherokee tribe,and his ggrandmother may have been a full blood Chrokee .

Ga.to Alfred Sellers d.1856.Coosa Co. Ala. 5. James Wesley Sellers b. 1823 Jefferson Co. Ga. Steve says: I will mention that it is thru Lavinia Brack and her Mother Ester Doty that we can trace our line back to Edward Doty ,of the Mayflower,and thence to the European lines of royalty back 33 generations to "Alfred The Great"and even earlier. Also the Holmes line is traceable back in Europe over 14 more generations,but all this is clearly beyond the scope of email messages of this sort. I would hope you will provide me with a descendant genealogy of your husband's family from James Wesley Sellers to your family. Lou that is about all I have gotten from Steve, I will try to contact him again. I did send him a package like I sent to you,with no comment as of yet, So maybe he isn't done with the census work he has been doing.

Steve says: I will mention that it is thru Lavinia Brack and her Mother Ester Doty that we can trace our line back to Edward Doty ,of the Mayflower,and thence to the European lines of royalty back 33 generations to "Alfred The Great"and even earlier. Also the Holmes line is traceable back in Europe over 14 more generations,but all this is clearly beyond the scope of email messages of this sort. I would hope you will provide me with a descendant genealogy of your husband's family from James Wesley Sellers to your family. Lou that is about all I have gotten from Steve, I will try to contact him again. I did send him a package like I sent to you,with no comment as of yet, So maybe he isn't done with the census work he has been doing.

Notes for James DOTY: As quoted from THE DOTY/ANDERSON/SHEPPERD AND ALLIED FAMILIES By Carl V Wright: Benajah Dory, son of James Doty and Phebe Slater, born Piscataway, NJ about 17232. He received by the will of his cousin, Benjamin Martin, certain pieces of land at Piscataway, which he sold to Thomas Skinner, Jr. July 11, 1759 and undoubtedly immigrated at that time with his brother Benjanim to Onslow County, NC. Here, like his brother, he took an active part in public affairs, was representative to the State Assemblies of 1775-1776, participated in the debate and counseled with others, the action which led to the State to be one of the earliest in demanding a separation from British Government, and to be most earnest and prompt in supporting the measure of Continental /Congress. He was one of the delegates to the Convention of 1776, which framed the Constitution of the Colony and held various local positions of trust and honor. He was a member of the House of Commons of North Carolina, 1777-1778. He was married twice, perhaps in New Jersey, as he had a daughter born c1745. No record of marriage has been found. He married second in Onslow County, NC about 1774, to Elizabeth Chativin. Benjah died about 1780 in Onslow County, NC. By his first wife he had at least two children. /Note: taken from THE DOTY-DOTEN FAMILY, by Ethan Allen Doty:.. The two daughters listed were as .. "Number 3400, p 2997, Vol I; a daughter married Brack, Number 3401.. a daughter married Warren." The book continues... "It is thought that they both moved to Georgia."/ Elizabeth, his second wife, lived to be 101 years old and her grandson, Rev. William Edward Doty of Greenwood, LA, who furnished many of the facts in the early history of this branch of the family, remembers hearing her tell how during the Revolutionary War, she lived in North Carolina, and having buried her effects and property in the ground, she helped to make potato hills over them to conceal them from the Tories.

He was the son of 192. Mathew William Sellers and 193. Catherine Jordan. He married 97. Providence Gurley. 97. Providence Gurley Notes for William Sellers: Although his full name was William Benjamin Sellers, he went by Benjamin. He is alternately referred to as William or Benjamin in various records. Sarah Hickman was Benjamin Sellers' second wife. His first wife was (possibly) Marie, whose maiden surname is unknown at this time. There is a great deal of debate among Sellers researchers about the distribution of William Benjamin's children between his two wives. The chart reflects my current conclusions, and is subject to change. FEB 1740 Edgecombe Co, NC = Benjamin SELLERS of Edgecombe Co, sells 50 acres of land in Bertie Co that my father Mathew SELLERS bought of Benjamin FOREMAN, where my mother now lives. [Edward Thomas Ray Descendants.FTW] WILL OF BENJAMIN SELLERS OF EDGECOMBE CO., NORTH CAROLINA Recorded in Will Record Book A, pp. 25-26 In the Name of God Amen --- I, Benjamin Sellers in Edgecombe County, being very sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory thanks be given to God therefore, and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, I do make and ordain this my last will & testament, that is to say principally and first of all, I give and recommend my soul into the hand of God that gave it and as touching such worldly estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me with, I give, devise, dispose of the same in following manner and form: Item --- I give to my beloved wife Sarah ye use of ye plantation which I now live upon during her life, and after her decease I give the plantation and two hundred acres of land to ... my youngest son Simon Sellers and to the heirs of his body lawfully begotten forever, and if he should die without heir then ye land shall fall to my son Jechonias and his heirs lawfully begotten forever. Item --- I give to my son Elisha Sellers to value of five shillings. Item --- I give to my son Benjamin Sellers to value of five shillings. I likewise constitute, ordain, and make my wife and William Dortch my only and sole executors of this my last will and testament, and the remaining part of my estate I do leave to be equally divided between my wife and her children now living with her, and I do hereby disallow, revoke, and disanull all and every other former testaments, wills, legacies, requests, and executors by me in any ways before this time -- named, willed, and bequeathed, ratified, and confirming this no other to be my last will and testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this third day of January 1761. Robert Thompson Benjamin [His Mark] Sellers Catherine (X) Sellers Matthew Sellers March Court 1761 --- The within will was in open court exhibited by the executors and proved by the oath of Robert Thompson one of the subscribing witnesses thereto and at the same time William Dortch was qualified as an executor which is on motion ordered to be certified and the will to be recorded. Test. James Hall Cir. C. ************************************** In the June 1762 session of the Edgecombe Co. Court, Benjamin's "orphans" Matthew, Jechonias, and Joel chose their mother Sarah Sellers as their guardian. The court also appointed Sarah as the guardian of Simon and Mary Sellers. In the April 1764 session, the court was notified that Thomas Dixon had married Sarah Sellers, Benjamin's widow and guardian to the children. In the October 1764 session, Joel Sellers was bound out to Kindred Carter. It was long believed by many that the father of Elisha Sellers was a "William Sellers of Tarboro," who allegedly went from there to what is today Brunswick Co., North Carolina around 1750 and raised a large family of mostly sons. It is a claim based on family tradition, not the evidence. An excerpt below from a letter written to a fellow researcher spells out the problems with this hypothesis --- "... Yes, Benjamin (d.1761, Edgecombe Co., North Carolina) is actually Elisha's father -- 'William Sellers of Tarboro' is an historical fiction for which not one shred of primary evidence exists. Anyone who tells you that William is the father shows that they have not done original research and instead swallowed the multiple erroneous statements in a well-intentioned, but poorly done book 'Some Descendents of William Sellers Who Was in Tarboro, North Carolina in 1750' by Clark and Elizabeth Watters, which cites the family tradition passed down in the family of W.W. Sellers of Marion Co., South Carolina who had no real idea of who his distant ancestors were. What follows here is an excerpt from a letter I wrote explaining this: I've noticed that many people have written in, telling you that Elisha's father was a 'William Sellers of Tarboro.' I gather from other (better) data that you've received that you know this is not true -- there is no 'William Sellers of Tarboro' -- and that Benjamin Sellers' Edgecombe Co. North Carolina will of 1761 is the key to this issue. Put in the simplest way, Benjamin IS 'William Sellers of Tarboro'! All six of his named sons, including Elisha, and at least one of his daughters were present eight years later in the 1769 Brunswick Co., North Carolina tax list. What you may or may not know is the source of the misinformation. The error, though reproduced in Watters' work and in the Reddoch compilation ... originally stems from an error in W.W. Sellers' 'History of Marion Co., South Carolina' (pub. 1901). In it he says that his grandfather Benjamin's father was a 'William Sellers' who lived near Tarboro, North Carolina about 1750 and moved to the area of 'Seven Creeks' in what is today Brunswick Co.) and had several sons, naming Elisha and Benjamin among others. Now, aside from the fact that there is absolutely no documentary evidence (and certainly none cited) for this assertion, there are a few other considerations that make the claim suspect, even if one doesn't look at Benjamin's 1761 will. There is a letter that W.W. Sellers wrote to a Thomas B. Sellers of Ama, Louisiana, dated 8 December 1899 (I have a transcript). In it, written about a year before the publication of his Marion Co. history, he tells his cousin that his 'great grandfather William or Henry emigrated from Tar River, North Carolina...'. The point is, he didn't really know who his great grandfather was; a fact not at all surprising when then you look at the rest of the letter. He reveals that his grandfather Benjamin [d. Apr 1817] died about a year before he was born, that his father Jordan Sellers was 54 when he married his mother, and finally that his father gave him all this information about sixty years before [from 1899]. Well, his father died, according to the letter, 9 September 1838, making this a deathbed conveyance of information! And with W.W. born in 1818, he was himself 81 years old ..."

Notes for Samuel DOTY: !BIO: Edward Dillingham, born probably Scituate, Mass. about 1724; died Freeport, Maine, 15 March 1812; married 4 August 1751, Marcy Doty, "of Scituate"; died Freeport, Maine, 4 April 1812; probably daughter of Samuel and Mary (Cobb) Doty or Doten. Edward was probably the oldest son of Melatiah and Mary (Curtis) Dillingham, although no record of his birth has been found, The earliest record is of his marriage in 1751 to Marcy Doty. The history of Hanover, Mass. by Barry, states, "Melatiah and Edward Dillingham lived in Hanover in 1754 and were shipbuilders." They were also listed among householders in 1755. Land sales in 1784 and 1788 in Hanover by Joshua, half-brother of Edward, refer to the dwelling, "where Edward Dillingham formerly lived." In 1783 records of the Friends' Society, Pembroke Monthly Meeting, contain the report of Edward Dillingham's removal to the Falmouth, Maine Monthly Meeting. Edward and Marcy appear to have been members of the household of their son, Samuel in the first federal census, 1790, Freeport, Maine. Edward and Samuel were both blacksmiths and family tradition says that they contracted with the stage line to shoe the stage horses when they stopped in Freeport on the post road.

Notes for Benjamin Sellers: Although his full name was William Benjamin Sellers, he went by Benjamin. He is alternately referred to as William or Benjamin in various records. Sarah Hickman was Benjamin Sellers' second wife. His first wife was (possibly) Marie, whose maiden surname is unknown at this time. There is a great deal of debate among Sellers researchers about the distribution of William Benjamin's children between his two wives. The chart reflects my current conclusions, and is subject to change.

Test. James Hall Cir. C. ************************************** In the June 1762 session of the Edgecombe Co. Court, Benjamin's "orphans" Matthew, Jechonias, and Joel chose their mother Sarah Sellers as their guardian. The court also appointed Sarah as the guardian of Simon and Mary Sellers. In the April 1764 session, the court was notified that Thomas Dixon had married Sarah Sellers, Benjamin's widow and guardian to the children. In the October 1764 session, Joel Sellers was bound out to Kindred Carter. It was long believed by many that the father of Elisha Sellers was a "William Sellers of Tarboro," who allegedly went from there to what is today Brunswick Co., North Carolina around 1750 and raised a large family of mostly sons. It is a claim based on family tradition, not the evidence. An excerpt below from a letter written to a fellow researcher spells out the problems with this hypothesis --- "... Yes, Benjamin (d.1761, Edgecombe Co., North Carolina) is actually Elisha's father -- 'William Sellers of Tarboro' is an historical fiction for which not one shred of primary evidence exists. Anyone who tells you that William is the father shows that they have not done original research and instead swallowed the multiple erroneous statements in a well-intentioned, but poorly done book 'Some Descendents of William Sellers Who Was in Tarboro, North Carolina in 1750' by Clark and Elizabeth Watters, which cites the family tradition passed down in the family of W.W. Sellers of Marion Co., South Carolina who had no real idea of who his distant ancestors were. What follows here is an excerpt from a letter I wrote explaining this: I've noticed that many people have written in, telling you that Elisha's father was a 'William Sellers of Tarboro.' I gather from other (better) data that you've received that you know this is not true -- there is no 'William Sellers of Tarboro' -- and that Benjamin Sellers' Edgecombe Co. North Carolina will of 1761 is the key to this issue. Put in the simplest way, Benjamin IS 'William Sellers of Tarboro'! All six of his named sons, including Elisha, and at least one of his daughters were present eight years later in the 1769 Brunswick Co., North Carolina tax list. What you may or may not know is the source of the misinformation. The error, though reproduced in Watters' work and in the Reddoch compilation ... originally stems from an error in W.W. Sellers' 'History of Marion Co., South Carolina' (pub. 1901). In it he says that his grandfather Benjamin's father was a 'William Sellers' who lived near Tarboro, North Carolina about 1750 and moved to the area of 'Seven Creeks' in what is today Brunswick Co.) and had several sons, naming Elisha and Benjamin among others. Now, aside from the fact that there is absolutely no documentary evidence (and certainly none cited) for this assertion, there are a few other considerations that make the claim suspect, even if one doesn't look at Benjamin's 1761 will. There is a letter that W.W. Sellers wrote to a Thomas B. Sellers of Ama, Louisiana, dated 8 December 1899 (I have a transcript). In it, written about a year before the publication of his Marion Co. history, he tells his cousin that his 'great grandfather William or Henry emigrated from Tar River, North Carolina...'. The point is, he didn't really know who his great grandfather was; a fact not at all surprising when then you look at the rest of the letter. He reveals that his grandfather Benjamin [d. Apr 1817] died about a year before he was born, that his father Jordan Sellers was 54 when he married his mother, and finally that his father gave him all this information about sixty years before [from 1899]. Well, his father died, according to the letter, 9 September 1838, making this a deathbed conveyance of information! And with W.W. born in 1818, he was himself 81 years old ..."

Notes for William Sellers: On September 5, 1714, John Sellers, son of William, and his wife Elizabeth sold land on Seward's Swamp (Isle of Wight County, VA) that had been obtained by John's father William by Deed of Gift from Josiah Harrison (believed to be the father of William's wife, Sarah. The identity of William's wife is not proven.) on December 9, 1684. Since no record exists of William's having transferred this land to John, it is probable (but not certain) that William had died by September, 1714, and that John had acquired the land by inheritance.
