Pike County} To any ordained Minister of the Gospel Judge of the Circuit or County or Justice of the Peace for said County greetings you are hereby authorized to celebrate the rites of Matrimony between Philip W. Sellers and Lydia Eddins and this shall be your sufficient Authority for so doing.
Given under my hand and Seal this 13th day of January in the year of our Lord One Thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight and of American Independence the 62nd year John D. Curtis Register {L.S.}
I do hereby certify that Philip Sellers and Lydia Eddins were Lawfully joined together on the 27th day of January 1838. Alex Smith J. P.
Phillip William Sellers was born abt 1815 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. There is no doubt that he is a descendant of Hardy Sellers but at the present time, I have not been able to identify his parents. Lydia Eddins, born abt 1817 in Chesterfield County, is the daughter of Richard Eddins and his wife Elizabeth Wilson.
Phillip William Sellers and Lydia Eddins were married on 27 January 1838 by a Justice of the Peace in Pike County, Alabama. This places the young couple in Pike County prior to January 1838. They had 5 known children; 3 sons and 2 daughters.
Both died after 1880 but no death dates or tombstones have been found at this time.
