It is unknown whether George Sellers and Susannah married in Pennsylvania or North Carolina. They had several children; George, John, Philip, Caty, and Henry, and probably others.
When her husband George died in 1839, she most likely went to live with her son Philip and his wife. She is probably the 70- to 79-year-old female living with son Philip and his wife Barbara in the 1840 census.[3]
She lived on four years after George's death and died 19 January 1843 in Lincoln County, NC.
