Sells Genealogy Page (this is as far back as we can prove our line!) |
Thomas Walker Sells Born around 1800-1810 Died around 1840-1845 State of birth-Virginia State of Death-Jackson County, Ohio? Wife's name is unknown Family legend has it that Thomas died after being gored by a bull! It's also been said that he had three sons and one daughter, all of whom were adopted out after his death. Apparently, his wife either predeceased him or left. None of this can be proven with any census data. We're getting this information from a tablet kept by Lillian (Mossman) Sells (click on sample at right....if you can figure it out, let us know!!) Of his four children, only one can be named at this time...Thomas Jefferson Sells (some records record his name as Thomas Joseph Sells, Thomas J. Sells, or Thomas Sell. An 1860 census records his name as Thomas Cell. His 1860 marriage license lists his name as Thomas Sell). Thomas Jefferson Sells |
