I am not sure if you have searched through the Kosciusko County gen-web
page.
Listed in the WPA death index is your John M. Sellers.
You might check with the Kosciusko Health dept.
and request a
genealogy death record.
With luck his parents should be listed there. If not the genealogy
section might be able to search the Warsaw newspapers and see if there
is an obituary in there for him. There is also an estate inventory for
him.
Hi all,
I'm wondering if some kind soul with access to either marriage records and/or
Obituaries for Kosciusko County can help me unearth additional information about John M.
Sellers. I'm basically trying to uncover the identity of his parents.
John appeared 'out of nowhere' on the 1860 Census in Kosciusko County.
He's listed as "John W. Sellars", age 22, born in VIRGINIA and living in
Wayne Township with the Joseph B. Karn family. No other Sellers/Sellars/Cellers, etc. are
found on that 1860 Census as being from Virginia. A thorough search of all Indiana
counties ten years earlier for 1850 shows that John wasn't there then.
John married Susannah FAWLEY on February 24, 1861, in Kosciusko County, and they
settled in Harrison Township. John died near Warsaw, possibly in Clay Township, in
Kosciusko County on May 19, 1914.
I highly doubt that his marriage record to Susannah FAWLEY in 1861 reveals the name of
his parents or, at the very least, his father. But, I'm wondering, too, if perhaps
his Obituary can be found and if it possibly lists his parents or even siblings?
If anyone has access to either the marriage record or his Obituary, or can point me in
the right direction of where to try and locate them, I would be greatly appreciative!
Thanks for your time,
Michael Sellers
