2. JAMES2 SELLERS (SELLERS1) was born Abt. 1796 in North Carolina, and died Bef. 1850. He married
JANE THOMPSON, daughter of NATHAN THOMPSON and ESTHER BLACK. She was born April 24,
1797 in Rutherford Co., NC, and died Aft. 1870 in Tippah County, Miississippi.
Notes for JAMES SELLERS:
BIOGRAPHY: This line remains to be documented!
MM Sellers said she and her parents were b. in NC.
Not confirmed but a Willets Sellers md. a Sarah Thompson in 1808 in NC. His father was Elisha Sellers of
Brunswick NC. An Elisha Sellers deeded land to Ellises - James, Nathan and Daniel in 1788.
A James Sellers living in Haywood NC in 1830 seems a good candidate as MM amd John Sellersps father.
He is living near Nathan Thompson.

Notes for JANE THOMPSON:
NAME: In 1870 census middle initial is T or F age 66, census taken in June. ? can see NO middle initial!
Donpt find a middle initial in any census so donpt know where I got that!
NAME: According to Goodspeedps bio of William H Bailey who md. Ruth E Sellers (bio is copied at
Sellers webpages Franklin AR where WH Bailey and Ruth Sellers Bailey lived their latter years), daughter
of Jane (Sellers), Ruth was the niece of Judge John W Thompson of Tippah CO MS. Judge THOMPSON
was md. to Justianna Dickenson WORD.
NAME: Interestingly, Col. William Clark FALKNER, was also the nephew of JW Thompson and his
family also migrated from NC to TN to MO. William Clark Falknerps parents were Caroline WORD sister of Justianna Dickenson WORD and William Joseph Falkner. The Falkners were in TN until around
1839 - their last 2 children were b. in MO. WC Falkner was b. in Knox TN. WC FALKNER went to
Tippah MS ca. 1842 where he was "adopted" by his uncle JW Thompson.
Jane Sellers is in 1850 St. Francis MO census:
Jane Sellers age 54 b. NC
Minerva Ross age 26 b. NC
James R. Sellers age 8/12 b. MO
John Sellers age 22 b. NC laborer
Emily Sellers age 22 b. TN
Jane E Ross age 3 b. TN

Jane Sellers age 64 b. NC
Jettie Sellers age 23 b. NC teaching school

Sarah Jane Ross age 14 b. TN
Jane Sellers is in 1870 Census Tippah MS, Ripley P.O.
Jane "Selars" age 74 b. NC
Jetty Selars age 35 b. NC
This is speculation but name may have been Sarah Jane.
BIRTH: List compiled by Thonmas Kryssbek says b. 24 Apr 1797 but census data consistently says b.
1796.
It is now confirmed by Buchanan family bible that Jane was Jane THOMPSON, daughter of Nathan
Thompson and Esther Black.

Generation No. 3
3. MARGARET MINERVA3 SELLERS (JAMES2, SELLERS1) was born December 30, 1825 in North Carolina,
and died May 15, 1900 in Union County, Mississippi. She married (1) O LIVER FRANKLIN ROSS, son of
RICE ROSS and SARAH BONHAM. He was born July 12, 1825 in Bedford County, Tennessee, and died
August 25, 1848 in Sequatchie River, Marion County, Tennessee. She married (2) W ILLIAM H SANDERS.
He was born Abt. 1820 in Kentucky, and died July 29, 1867 in Tippah County, Miississippi.
Notes for MARGARET MINERVA SELLERS:
BIOGRAPHY: Remarried "Mr. Sanders"
BIOGRAPHY: Living with daughter Sarah Ellis and son in law Joseph Purnell in Albany, Union Co MS in
1880 with children by marriage to Sanders spelled Sanders in this census and not Saunders as in 1860. Sonin-law is listed as "Pummell". Margaret is called "Manerva M". Age is 53 July 3, 1880.
BIOGRAPHY: Some sources say parents b. in TN but according to US census 1880 both b. in NC, as was
MMS
BIOGRAPHY: Looks like MM (age 24 or 26) may have been living with her mother Jane Sellers (age 54)
b. NC in St. Francis, Dist. 10, MO, in 1850: Household included Jane Sellers age 54 b. NC, James R Sellers
age 8/12 b. MO; John Sellers age 22 b. NC, Emily Sellers age 22 b. TN; Jane E Ross age 3 b. TN, Martha
age 1 b. TN; Justiana Sellers age 15 b. NC and Ruth E Sellers age 9 b. NC. This data fits in many ways
with names and places of birth!
!860 Tippah MS Census: with 2nd husband William H SAUNDERS (see notes under WH Sanders). Age in
1860 census taken 16 Aug 1860 listed as 32 years.
BIRTH: Other source says b. ca. 1831 in TN
Some say b. in SC, 1860 census difficult to read looks like MMS said she was b. in SC
BIRTH: B. in 1827 or 1828 according to census
BURIAL: Do not find MM at Beulah Cmty online records but find some Purnell children.
Petition for dower: Nov 18, 1867, Tippah Co. MS
In !850 census looks like Margeret is living with her mother in MO: St Francis MO: Jane Sellers age 54 b.
NC; Minerva Ross age 24 or 26 b. NC; James R Sellers age 8/12 MO; John Sellers age 22 NC; Emily
Sellers age 22 TN; Jane E Ross age 3 TN; Martha Ross age 1 TN; Justiana Sellers age 15 NC; Ruth E
Sellers age 9 NC
In 1860 census Tippah Co. Northern Division; Jane Sellers age 64 is head of household with: Jettie Sellers
age 28 b. NC, teaching school; Ruth age 20 and Sarah Jane Ross age 14 b. TN. Jettie = Justiana?
So age of MM Sellers is inconsistant throughout the censuses - age 53 in 1880 (= b. 1827); Age 32 in 1860
(= b. 1827-1828); age 24 or 26 in 1850 (= b. 1824-6); not found in 1870. In considering 1840 census data
would be looking for a female age 10-15 or 15-20.
