I am also interested in the SELLERS family in Koscuisko County in the
1850s-1860s. Two children of Thomas YORK married SELLERS. Asa York married
20 June 1853 Mary SELLERS b. Nov 1836 d 16 Jun 1864 and Elizabeth York
married 23 Dec 1852 Joseph W. SELLERS b. abt 1830, Joseph was killed at the
battle of Richmond, KY 30 Aug 1862 shortly after he joined the Co. I, 12th
Regiment of Indiana Volunteers for the Civil War leaving Elizabeth to raise
three small children. I have been unable to connect Mary and Joseph
SELLERS, but suspect they were siblings.
Any information on these individuals would be appreciated.

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

I am not sure if you have searched through the Kosciusko County gen-web
page.
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~inkosciu/
Listed in the WPA death index is your John M. Sellers.
http://www.ingenweb.org/inkosciusko/WPADeaths.html
You might check with the Kosciusko Health dept.
http://www.kcgov.com/o_index.asp?hdnSelectedID=66 and request a
genealogy death record.
http://www.kcgov.com/XML%20Data/Health%20Department/PDFs/GENEALOGY%20REPORT%
20REQUEST.pdf
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.
