Biography

James Thomas Sellers was born in 1738, in North Carolina, a son of William Benjamin Sellers and Mary Hardy. In February, 1750, in Chatham county, North Carolina, James married Patience Parker. [1]

James is found on the United States census of 1800, residing in Hillsborough, Chatham county, North Carolina. [2]

James died February 1, 1804, in Pittsboro, Chatham county, North Carolina. His Find A Grave has biographies of nine known children, who migrated to Tennessee, receiving land grants for their service in the American Revolutionary War. [3]

Research Notes

Although his Find A Grave indicates that James was born in Duplin county, originally a part of New Hanover County, Duplin was annexed and established on April 7, 1750

James Sellers will was written 4 July 1804 and the probate was completed in 1806 according to the probate record [4] Actual date of death would have to be after 4 July 1804.

During the period extending from its organization until its formal severance of relations with Great Britain, Chatham’s Justices were Richard Parker, Robert Rutherford, James Sellars, Francis Drake, Abner Hill, Jeduthan Harper, Joab Brooks, Isaiah Hogan, Matthew Drake, Mial Scurlock, Samuel Stewart, Alexander Clarke, John Thompson, and Balaam Thompson.
