Edith “Edy” Sellers was born about 1799 in South Carolina. Phillip Sellers, Sr. and his wife Mary [last named unproven] had 2 daughters under age 10 in the 1800 Census for Chesterfield County, South Carolina.
Is Edith “Edy” Sellers a daughter of Phillip and Mary Sellers. I think she is their daughter but am having a hard time figuring out how an unmarried 28 year old maiden was able to travel to Alabama and married a young man by the name of James David Weaver in 1827.
James David Weaver was also borne in Orangeburg District, South Carolina. About 1814, He married Barbara Price, daughter of George Price. He can be found in the 1820 Census for Lexington County, South Carolina. Sometime after 1824, James and Barbara moved from South Carolina to Tuscaloosa County, Alabama.
James David Weaver was a very active wholesale proprietor and wheeler-dealer in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
His wife, Barbara (Price) Weaver died about 1830. After the death of wife Barbara, David then married Edy [last name believed to be Sellers] about 1830.
James David Weaver and 2nd wife, Edy had the following children:
i. Cassandra D. Weaver, born abt 1828, Alabama; married William McFerrin, 27 Dec 1846, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama; married John Marion Lanier, 8 Apr 1866, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama; died abt 1875, Mooreville, Lee, Mississippi.

James David Weaver died before 6 January 1868. His Last Will and Testament was dated 9 September 1867.
After the death of James David Weaver, his wife Edy married Hiliard Sellers on 6 January 1868. Edy [Weaver] Sellers died on 16 October 1876 in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama.
Edy [Weaver] Sellers may prove to be my 3rd Great Grand Aunt.
