Miss Fraser:
The following is unconfirmed (more on this later in this message), but, I have:
William Sellers (possibly, Sellor) (1637 - ????)
Cypress Creek, Isle of Wight County, Virginia
Matthew William Sellers (c.1678 - 1740)
William Benjamin Sellers (1710 - 1761) Father of Simeon,
Elisha,
Benjamin
et cetera
I know that there was a John Sellers in Isle of Wight County after William's arrival.There are some researchers who believe that John is William's son and Matthew's father.It may be, but I cannot confirm it.These researchers believe that it is more likely that William DID NOT have a son at age forty or so, so there must have been
"someone" between them.However, I have a son born when I was 49, almost fifty...perhaps that is "clouding" my thinking.As you are aware, most researchers look at a generation as being about twenty years.
Good luck.If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
