"Zachariah Selman was born between 1749 and 1765. He was in Fauquier County, Virginia with his brother Joe and mother Ann soon after 1782. On September 8, 1787 he leased two thousand acres, part of "The Manor of Leeds", from Denny Fairfax, nephew of Thomas Lord Fairfax of London. The yearly rent was two pounds, twelve shillings. "Zachariah Silman, Peggy Silman," surely his wife, and Mildred Reynolds, thought to have been Zach's mother-in-law, signed the lease.

There is a marriage record date August 7, 1790 in Fauquier County for Zachariah Selman and Janny, daughter of Peter and Ann (Murray) Lawrence. Evidently Peggy had died by that date, or was "Peggy" a pet name for Janny? Zachariah Selman died in Fauquier County between 1840 and 1850 when he was well past ninety. The early records of county reveal only three of Zach's children."

Sellman-85 and Selman-557 appear to represent the same person because: These also look like duplicate siblings. These profiles share the same name and parents. This was the generation that changed the spelling from Sellman to Selman. The rest of the family is listed as Selman, so let's merge into Selman-557 and feel free to put Sellman in "Other Name Field." Thanks for you help keeping WikiTree tidy!

All the best, Janet
