Thomas Hardy Sellers parents are unknown. He married Elizabeth Hancock about 1839 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. 

Thomas and Elizabeth had 11 known children. Thomas died on 9 March 1865 before the war ended on 9 April 1865. There’s nothing in his records documenting his death but he was hospitalized several times with chronic diarrhea. His burial in his home county suggests that he most likely died at home as a result of these illness.
