Sheriff's Sale~Phillip Sellers

The exact date that Phillip Sellers died has not been found; but, we know from this Sheriff’s Sale that his estate lands were sold before the Court House on the 1st Monday in February, 1837.  

Phillip is a very common name in the Sellers lineage so my next duty was to determine which Phillip Sellers we are referring to within this news article.

The logical conclusion is that the notice refers to Phillip Sellers, Sr., son of Hardy Sellers and Mary Cook. Phillip married a young lady named Mary [LNU].  We know this from an Anson County Land Deed (DB “M”, pg 214).
