Hi Robert,
I am very interested in several things about Benjamin (actually William Benjamin) Sellers and Sarah Hickman. There is a possibility, indeed a probability, that Benjamin had a wife prior to his marriage to Sarah. Her name is unknown, although there are several references to her as "Marie". As I'm sure you know, Sarah remarried to Thomas Dixon in 1763, a couple of years after Benjamin's death. I am interested in a factual breakdown of Benjamin's children between his first wife and Sarah. In the dozens of published bits of genealogy on these folks, I've found nothing but conjecture and mathematical calculations based on more conjecture as to Sarah's date of birth and on the distribution of Benjamin's children between his wives. Do you have any definitive data on this? Thanks for any help you can provide.
