Notes for Lavinia Brack: On the 1830 census there is no male in the household -Lavinia and three daughters live near Henry Bozeman ( Wm H ) in Montgomery and in 1820 Georgia census she is once again head of household. However there is an Elisha Anderson, in his 40s, in 1830 living by Peter Bozeman.

END OF PART 2.
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. ------------------------------------ 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

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. Alfred Sellers son of William Sellers Sr. Born 1800/1810,Jefferson,Co.Ga. Died before 1850 Coosa Co. Ala.

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.

Beginning Part IIThe earliest generation of Sellers is given by,Carl V. Wright as William Sellers of Tarboro NC.saying he was the father of Elisha Sellers. Elisha Sellers ,the next generation,was the father of Alfred Sellers and William Calvin Sellers Sr.,b. ca.1760 NC.d.NC. 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. William Calvin Sellers Jr. and Alfred Sellers,who married Elizabeth Anderson the sister of Lavinia ,who marriedWilliam Calvin Jr, REF: SOME DECENDANTS OF WILLIAM SELLERS WHO WAS IN TARBORO,NC.

END OF PART 2.
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 . Her name is unknown
Here is a brief direct lineage on the Anderson side ,beginning with the earliest known by Carl V. Wright 1. Edmond Anderson,b.? m.?NC, Sarah (probably full blood cherokee Cherokee-not proven)d,1742N.C. 2.Elmore Anderson ,b.1720m;Rebbeca Holmes (probably halfblooded Cherokee)d.1772 N.C. 3.Elijah Anderson ,b.1750 Onslow Co. N.C.m; Lavinia Brack (1/2 blood)d/o Eleazor Brack and Ester Doty,1802,Jefferson Co.Ga. 4. Elizabeth Anderson,b.1796{probably Richmond Co. Ga} m; 2 Dec 1818,Jefferson Co. 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.
