Michael,
I don't know if any of these will help you but thought I'd toss them your way just in case. They were listed on the Delawsre County, Indiana InGenWeb site. These are by no means all you might find in Delaware County. I'd also suggest you check out the Muncie Public Library Local History and Genealogy website; especially their digital resource library

Subject: [INDELAWA] Jacob Sellers & family
Hi list!
I'm looking for any ancestral information regarding Jacob Sellers buried in
Godlove Cemetery in Delaware Township. I'm looking for anything that might
reveal or even hint as to the names of Jacob's parents, the maiden name of his
wife, Lydia, and/or where he came from when he settled in Delaware Township in
Section 21 on August 25, 1834.
Jacob and wife, Lydia, are located in Delaware Township per the 1850 Census.
He's listed as age 62 and being born in Virginia. His son, John Sellers,
married Catherine Battrell on November 11, 1847. John and Catherine were living
next door in 1850. John was listed as age 27 and being born in Ohio. I believe
that Jacob's daughter, Eliza, married Abraham Godlove on December 17, 1840.
Eliza was also listed as living next door to John Sellers and Jacob Sellers on
the 1850 Census, was listed as age 27, and also being born in Ohio.
Both Jacob and son John are oddly listed with the last name of "Silvy" on the
1860 Census for Delaware Township.
Jacob's gravestone in Godlove Cemetery notes that he "Died in the 77th year of
his age", however, it doesn't list exactly when he died. I'd also like to learn
if there is a record of exactly when he died.
Any help regarding Jacob Sellers and the possible name(s) of his parents, the
maiden name of wife Lydia, and/or where they may have come from when they
settled in Delaware Township in 1834 would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Michael Sellers

Indiana: in Relation to its Geography, Statistics, Institutions,
County Topography, Etc.; with a Reference Index to and
Colton's Maps of Indiana (included)
Fisher, Richard S. M.D.,
J.H. Colton, New York, 1852
http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/1852_IN_index.html
This is a digitally reproduced version of Indiana: in Relation to its Geography, Statistics, Institutions, County Topography Etc.; with a Reference Index to Colton's Maps of Indiana, 1852. Historians, genealogists and researchers of mid 19th century Indiana will find the vast amount of research material in this book and its accompanying maps invaluable.
The 144 page book is a companion to the 6 segment series of Colton's Maps of Indiana included on this CD. The book contains topographical and historical profiles of the cities, towns and villages of Indiana in 1852. Indiana places and place names, many of which no longer exist in contemporary literature or on current maps, are identified and discussed in this early Indiana resource.
Excerpts from the book advertisement:
This little book has been prepared to accompany COLTON'S MAPS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA, and to illustrate the geography, statistics, and institutions of that important portion of the American Union. The descriptions, though brief and concise, embrace nevertheless a great mass of information useful not only to the immigrant settler, but also to those who, from long residence in the state, may be entitled to the distinguished title of "citizen."
The descriptive portions of the work have been chiefly compiled from the publications of the most recent writers; but a large mass of information has also been derived from the labors and inquiries of the publisher's agents, and from numerous private sources, all of which has been incorporated. The statistical matter is chiefly based on the census of 1850, the official returns of the several departments of the federal and state governments, and from the reports of companies incorporated within the state. Every available source of accurate information, indeed, has been consulted, and the publisher has no hesitation in saying that there is no other work on the same subject, and within the same compass, that furnishes so much valuable information as is contained herein...
...maps are engraved in the best style of art, and are colored in a handsome manner. A REFERENCE INDEX, by the aid of which any place on the maps may be readily found, is appended to this work.
New York, April 15, 1852
Table of Contents (40K PDF) pages are available for download:
http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/1852_IN_TOC.pdf
Colton's Maps of Indiana: The original full size map was engraved on six plates, and when assembled was 66 x 48-inches in size. It contains the full surveys in sections, the general topography of the state, the internal improvements, and all the information usually found on the most elaborate maps.
Insets: Michigan City * LaFayette * Logansport & West Logan * Terre Haute * Indianapolis * Madison* Fort Wayne * New Albany * Jeffersonville, Louisville and the Falls of the Ohio * Evansville and Lamasco City * Lawrenceburgh * Vincennes * Richmond * South Bend.
To facilitate viewing and printing, this series of maps have been digitized in a single image and reduced in size to approximately 33 x 24-inches at 300 dpi. The high resolution image has been converted to Adobe PDF and included on this CD. The REFERENCE INDEX pages (105-123) may be utilized to locate Indiana places and place names found on Colton's Maps of Indiana.

The Historic Atlas of Indiana series may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century Indiana places and place names. Many 19th century sites no longer appear on contemporary maps and or have been obscured with time. The Historic Atlas Series CD's provide researchers with the means to quickly search 19th century maps when searching for extinct Indiana places.
Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no exception; however, by virtue of the Adobe PDF formatting, these documents may be inspected at high levels of magnification without additional digital distortion; something that simply cannot be accomplished with paper reproductions and photocopies.

The Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to view, zoom, pan and print from the PDF images contained in this book; and is included free on each CD. No other software is necessary. The data has been created and configured using Adobe Acrobat for MS Windows (98, 98SE, XP, NT and 2000). The pages may be viewed in earlier versions of the software as well; and with current versions of the Adobe Reader on recent model Mac systems.
Good luck with your research!
