A great grandmother& grandfather of mine were Laura Frances Sellers & Daniel Acton Bailey of Homewood Al, suburb of Birmingham. I have had access to an old faded photo of Martha Morris. My grandfather, father of my mother, was William Henderson Bailey. children of Laura sellers & Dan Acton Bailey were Luther Bailey, Bennie Bailey & William Henderson Bailey. William Henderson, "Red Bailey" or "Pa Pa Will" were Annie Laura Bailey, William ArthurBailey, Edith Lyle Basiley & my mother, Jeanette Mae Bailey. Dan Acton Bailey was an itenerant Baptist Preacher, "Circuit Rider" who started several churches around Columbiana & Marion AL, in Shelby County & Jefferson Co. I knew he had preached if not pastored at what is now Shades Mtn. Baptist, & just found out their first pastor there was a WA Sellers (William Henderson?) Dan Acton Bailey & Laura Frances Sellers are buried in a small family cemetery in Homewood near intersection of Oxmoor Rd. & Green Springs Hwy. They had lived here near the cemetery. Could the child identified as William Simson Sellers have been william Henderson Sellers?
