    Notes:

    Sellers Line

    John Sellers, or Sellars as the lowland Scots would spell the name, was the son of John Sellars and Jane Carter, daughter of Mathew Carter, RS. Early Wiregrass researchers confused this John with his older first cousin John Millender Sellars, son of Samuel Sellars and Mary Bishop (Pioneers of Wiregrass Books Vol. 3). In a later volume of Wiregrass, a correction states the John Sellers who married Kizzie was a nephew to Samuel Samuel not a son. John's grandfather was Samuel Sellars, RS of NC (PWG Vol. 2), and according to the patriot's will, he had three children: 1.) John who married Jane Carter, 2.) Samuel who married first Mary Bishop then Miss Carter, and 3.) Daughter Penelope who married John Staten. Statenville, GA was named for this family.

    John and Jane's son John Sellars was born about 1815 in Bullock County, Georgia. He married in Appling County to Keziah about 1834. His wife's maiden name is not known as of yet, but researchers lean toward Smith or Rowe. No documentation is established for either. Keziah is enumerated as Kizzie or Sukey born in North Carolina in the census. After 1860, John and Kizzie Sellars moved to Charlton County, Georgia and raised their large family in Gaineyville at Sellers' Landing on the north bank of St. Mary's River. John Sellars did not record any land transactions in Charlton County. This Sellars family was enumerated in both the Charlton County, Georgia and the Baker County, Florida 1870 census, because they had a ferry that ran across the St. Mary's River between Georgia and Florida. John died between 1870-1880 as Kizzie is enumerated in the 1880 census a widow/head-of-house with several adult children and grandchildren living in her home. Burial sites of John and Kizzie are not recorded but believed to be in the unmarked graves along the river at Emmaus Church Cemetery near Sellers' Landing.

    Children of John and Kizzie Sellars:

    1. Mary Ann b. 1839 m. Appling Co., GA

    Additional Information:

    In the 1850 Census of Appling County, Francis Sellers is enumerated with John Sellers' family. Francis is not grouped by age with John's children in the census, but added at the end of the household suggesting that he is not one of John's children. By 1860, Francis was living with a Hughes family, which is believed to be an aunt and her famliy. He is believed to be a youngest brother of John. Francis/Frank was born 1836 and died during the Civil War on 18 October 1863 in Cassville, Georgia. He married and left a young widow Sarah McEachin Sellers with infant son, John Morgan Seller, born 11 August 1863 and lived his entire life with his large family in Appling County, Georgia. Information obtained from McEachin researcher.

    In the 1860 Census of Appling County, John Sellars' household is on page 49 #299. Household #298 is Jackson and Mary A. Carter with their 4 daughters under the age of 5 years. In household #300 are Isaac and Nancy Carter with their toddler daughter. Mary A. and Nancy are enumerated in John Sellars' household in 1850. Jackson and Isaac are half brothers. Their father was Jacob Carter and grandfather George Carter, RS. In the Charlton Co., GA 1870 census Nancy and Isaac Carter were enumerated in Household #331 while her parents were in Household #329. Carter information obtained from Carter researchers.

    The information on Jane Sellars and Owen Green was from an interview with Myrtis Connor of St, George, GA who is a granddaughter of Isabel Sellers Robinson and knew Jane's family personally. This is documented in the 1870 census of Charlton Co., Georgia with Jane and Owen Green enumerated in dwelling #328 while John and Kizzie Sellers are in dwelling # 329. Green researcher shows Owen born 9 January 1854 Georgia and died 23 January 1927/buried in Bethel Cemetery, Hilliard, Nassau County, Florida along with Jane. A review of the Bethel Cemetery records at the
    Fort Carolina LDS Church in Jacksonville shows that Mrs. Connor is correct.

    In the census 1870 of Charlton County, GA Mary can be found with her children alone as if Jackson had died between 1860 and 1870. In Statenville in Echols County, GA in the same census is John Sellers and wife Margaret. It is not clear if this John is the son of Kizzie and John Sellers or the son of John M. Sellers, the first cousin of John Sellers.

    In 1870 Charlton County, Georgia census, Isaac Carter and wife Nancy with children are enumerated in dwelling #331 near other members of John Sellers' family. By 1880, Isaac was enumerated without Nancy. Only 3 of their children, the youngest being 9 years old, were in the household.

    Mary Sellers Carter was enumerated as a widow in her mother's household in 1880. Lucretia with husband David Howard, Manning, and several of Kizzie's grandchildren are enumerated in this household. A Mary Sellers is enumerated as daughter-in-law.

    Myrtis Connor, the granddaughter of Isabella Sellers Robinson, also states Keziah Sellers maiden name was Rowe. She states Jackson Sellers, son of Keziah Sellers Rowe, lived in her household when she was a child. Keziah Sellers Rowe married her first cousin Peter Rowe according to family history. Manning Sellers also lived in Myrtis' household when she was a little. Myrtis Connor was born 1913 and is very lucid and correct when giving family history.

    In 1857 the Appling County courthouse burnt and many early records were lost. Appling County was established by 1819 and was a huge piece of land that includes today's counties of Atkinson, Bacon, Brantley, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Echols, Jeff Davis, Pierce, Telfair, Ware, and Wayne. Some of these counties obtained small portions of land while others were entirely cut from the original Appling County.

    John Sellers, Sr. was first enumerated in 1820 and again in the 1830 census. John Sellers, Sr. would have been over 50 years old in 1830. In the 1840 census John Sellers is a young man with wife and children. One elderly man is living in that household. In 1850, the elderly man is gone and John Sellers is enumerated with wife Kizzie and the children are named. Besides the mention of John being the nephew of Samuel Sellers in the Wiregrass books, this is the only proof that John Jr. was the son of John Sr. In the 1850 census Jane Carter Sellers is an elderly woman in the Dyal household. One of her daughters married the Dyal while the other married a Hughes.

    In the 1880 Federal Census of GA Charlton County, the widow Kizzie is listed with adult children and grandchildren. There is enumerated Margaret (Mary) Floyd, granddaughter age 18. There is no documentation that she is a granddaughter and Floyd researchers believe she isn't. Nancy Floyd, her sister is enumerated in Charlton County 1880 census in the household as a companion of a single woman named Martha Smith. Haddie Floyd is enumerated in the household of Elijah Carter in Wayne County, GA in the same census. These girls are thought to be the children of Thomas Floyd and Elizabeth Carter, and Elizabeth being the sister of Isaac and Jackson Carter who married the Sellers sisters.

    This Mary Floyd is enumerated in 1870 census Charlton County with another family:
    Dwelling 224/207
    Elizabeth Floyd age 32 farmer
    Sarah Floyd age 13 housemaid
    Mary Floyd age 12 (married Joseph Madison Johns/no record)
    Harriet Floyd age 8 (Haddie married Bryant Johns/recorded)
    Lewis Floyd age 7 (married Susana Taylor/recorded)
    Nancy Floyd age 5
    James Floyd age 2

    In the 1860 census of Camden County, Tom Floyd is enumerated with females with only their first initials listed.

    Documents from the State of Florida Controller's Office shows that Nellie Sellers Thompson received her Civil War Widow's Pension through December 31, 1917, yet her adult children sold their farm and left Nassau County, FL about 1916 without their elderly mother. It is believed that she died between her husband's death and this relocation from Nassau County to St. Johns County. There is no further documentation on anyone's pension after that date as the documentation is incomplete according to Archives personnel.
