Research Notes

Marriage to Rebecca Sellman

This William Shipley married Rebecca Ogg, daughter of George Ogg and Mary Potee. Shipleys of Maryland do not show him marrying a Rebecca Selman; sources that do show such a marriage show it taking place in Stafford County, Virginia which raises a question in an era when most people did not travel far. Further research is needed. [3]

  • In 1753 in Stafford County, Virginia he married Rebecca Sellman.[4]

He married Rebecca SELLMAN, who died 10 Aug 1808. She was the daughter of Benjamin Lawrence SELLMAN and Anne POWELL. [2]
