I am researching the Sell families of Westmoreland, Indiana, and Armstrong Counties, Penna. I would like to get in touch with any other researcher who might have information on those Sell families. I am particularly interested in Mary Anna Sell b 1860 and her father William H. Sell b 1838.

Thanks very much for the info. Do you know where in Germany is Neuwittenbek? Please let me know, having a possible site is at least a start - I gather there are 90km of archives on Schleswig Holstein so needles in haystacks have nothing on this.

Re: Sell - New Holstein, WI

jane6310 — 2008-08-01 12:57:25Z

I am looking into the history of Sells who emigrated from Hamburg to South Africa in 1858 on the ship La Rochelle. I know that they came from Brunswick (Braunschweig) in Schleswig-Holstein (Lower Saxony). It seems a strange coincidence that you are also looking for Sells who emigrated from Germany in the 1850's - perhaps all the relatives decided to up sticks for the New and Old Worlds? If you have any further information regarding your branch of Sells I would be interested to hear.

Thanks

I am keen to track down some decendents of the following people. This is only for private family history use.

Richard SELL b. Bassingbourn Abt 1858 & Harriet DANCE b. Hackney 1856

Also, Richard re-married Grace Mary LINNEY in 1907

I would like to learn about any descendents of these marriages (I know the children of both marriages), or of any of Richard's siblings Emily, David, William Payne, Arthur, Charles, Elizabeth.

Sophia Sell Photo Minerva Ohio

ldove2 — 2008-02-10 00:32:54Z

I found a photo of a young lady. Appears to be in late teens or early 20's. The studio was in Minerva Ohio. I searched the census records in Carroll county and found a family
1900 Carroll Co
Dennis Sell 1825 Christina 1844 Sophia 1873 Edward J 1876 Emanuel 1879.
1880 Carroll Co Same folks accept Thomas 1866 Dennis 1871.
1910 Carroll Co Living with brothers Emannuel and Edward
1920 Columbiana Co Living with Edward.

I am guessing that this is the lady in the photo. She was not married through 1920.

If anyone thinks this is thier family, please let men know.

Re: William Sell abt 1670-1742 NY

abryant172 — 2007-12-26 17:51:23Z

Not positive it belonged to Frances Sell, but most likely.
It's a very early 2 board wide simple table with the initials carved into the top - FSS - for Frances Sell Satterly ? Carving is in old English style. Possibly a wedding present? Initials and period of the table are 18th century. Came through my grandmother's family - the Satterlys of Orange County, NY. My aunt has completed extensive research on the Satterlys - have not found any other Satterlys in the research with the possible name to fit the initials in the table. We have a direct line descending from the second wife (Ruth Biggs) of William Satterly (b. 11 JUL 1703)of Setauket. Would love to know more of what you have on the family. Feel free to email me directly -

Married William Satterly in 1727.
Died in childbirth 12 AUG 1728.
Have furniture with her initials - or her daughter's -

Re: Amanda Sell, Lehigh, PA

widowshouse — 2007-11-24 00:01:36Z

I have your Sarah Sell. Her gravestone in the Jordan Reformed Church reads:

Sarah, wife of Nathan Sell.
Born Feb. 1, 1816
Died Jan. 5, 1887
Aged 70 years, 11 months, 4 days.

Sarah Osman was married to Nathan Sell on December 29, 1844.

Her parents are John Osman and Rebecca Bellis. Both were born in New Jersey (probably Hunterdon County) and are "brick walls" for me, although Rebecca may be the daughter of Peter and Elsie Corwin Bellis. No idea about John's parents though.

Hope this helps!

Answers about John W. SMITH (b. 1875), of Bedford, Blair & Chester Co., PA

ikathyc — 2007-04-11 14:09:25Z

Thanks to some wonderful legwork by Dan Lindley in Chester Co., he was able to find some of the John Smith (b. 1875, Bedford County, PA, d. April 16, 1926) info that I have been looking for for many years! By asking me lots of questions, he was able to locate the following obituaries and tombstone information as well as sending me a photo of the grave marker. Thanks Dan!

**I am still looking to find the name of John SMITH’s mother. His father’s name was Joseph SMITH according to John’s 2 marriage licenses.

Daily Local News, April 17, 1926
John W. Smith
At his home in Lionville, yesterday, John W. Smith died, following an illness of several months, aged 51 years. He was originally from Altoona, but had lived in the neighborhood ten or more years, recently farming for Mrs. Frank March, on the former Augustus Sheneman place. He is survived by his wife and three children, Walter, Grace and Ann. A brother-in-law, Russell Allison, lives in Lionville. He was a member of Lionville Lutheran Church and was respected in the community.

Ibid:
SMITH- In Lionville, on April 16, 1926, John W. Smith, in the 51st year of his age.
Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral without further notice in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Lionville, on Monday, April 19, at 2 o’clock p.m. Interment in adjoining cemetery. Friends may call at his late residence Sunday evening.

Tombstone located at St. Paul's Lutheran Cemetery, Lionville, Chester Co., PA.

1915 Florence L. 1915 /
1913 Warren H. 2005
2 medallions at this grave marker: WW2 Veterans medallion & Patriotic Sons of America medallion

John’s 2nd wife was Margaret Allison and tracking him through this second marriage was key to a lot of information:

!Daily Local News, June 13, 1975
Mrs. John W. Smith
Margaret Allson (sic) Smith, 84, of 12 S. Village Avenue, Lionville, wife of the late John W. Smith, died early this morning at her residence after a short illness.
Born in Bedford County, she was a daughter of the late Harris F. and Elizah Jane Croyle Allson (sic). Mrs. Smith had resided in Lionville for the past 61 years.
She was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Lionville and the ladies auxiliary of the Lionville Fire Company.
She is survived by one son, Warren H. Smith, with whom she resided in Lionville, two daughters, Anna Jane, wife of Paul V. Dickinson of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. and Grace. Wife of J. Willis Yearsley of West Chester; five grand children and three greatgrandchildren.
Also a sister, Mrs. Jennie Claar of East Freedom, and Mrs. Ruth Reese, of Lyndell, survive.
Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Tuesday at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, S. Village Ave., Lionville. Interment will be in St. Paul’s Cemetery.
Note: Obit spells Allson- the name should be listed as Allison.

Warren, the first child from the marriage of John and Margaret, was the last of their children to pass away. All these years I had misinformation that Warren had died in the late 1950’s (bummer!):

Daily Local News, September 10, 2005
Warren H. Smith of Lionville
Warren H. Smith, 92, of Lionville, died Thursday, Sept. 8, 2005 at Main Line Nursing Home.
Born in East Freedom, he was the son of the late John and Margaret Allison Smith.
As a child he traveled in a covered wagon to Lionville, where he resided most of his life.
Following his graduation from West Chester High School, he worked at M.S. Yearsley’s and sons of West Chester.
During World War II, he served in the U.S. Army, and he was wounded at the Battle of the Bulge.
Later, he was employed as a geologist and assayer at Bradford Quarry until retiring 27 years ago. Warren spent his retirement years again working at M.S. Yearsley’s and sons in the hardware department.
He was an excellent gardener. He was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Lionville, and Mt. Pickering Lodge #446 F & AM, Upper Uwchland.
He is survived by his brother in law, J. Willis Yearsley, of West Chester, his nephews, J. Willis Yearsley III and M. Irwin Yearsley, both of West Chester, and Paul Dickinson, of Woodbridge, Va; and nieces, Susan Anderson, of Goodyear, Ariz., and Denise Yearsley of St. Pete’s Beach, Fla.
Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 13, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Lionville. A calling time will be from 1 to 2 p.m. at the church. Interment will be in the adjoining cemetery. Memorial gifts may be made to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 104 S. Village Avenue, Exton, Pa 19341. Arrangements are being handled by Boyd Funeral Home, Inc. 610-696-0182.

Through the SSDI (http://ssdi.rootsweb.com ):, I was able to find Warren’s birthdate SMITH, WARREN H., Birth: 08 May 1913, Death: 08 Sep 2005

Through the SSDI, I was able to find his sister Grace’s info as well: YEARSLEY, GRACE R., Birth: 25 Mar 1920, Death: 09 Feb 1993

The other sister, Anna Jane was born sometime in 1917 or 1918. She married Paul DICKINSON.

If you can add any information, I would be very grateful. Again thank you to Dan Lindley in Chester Co. for all his detective legwork! He posted the tombstone photo here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/chester/stpaulsl.htm

Hi, I have found 'Sells' family on 1850 Bedford Pa.census.

MICHAEL SELLS.... 1824 ..Pa.. farmer
ELIZABETH SELLS.... 1821 ..Pa.
DAVID SELLS.... 1848 ..Pa.
GEORGE H. SELLS.... 1849 ..Pa.

Then this family seems to dissapear from all other census's.
I cant find Michael on earlier census either.

George may be my grt. grandfather.

Anyone have any ideas.?? Thank you .. J.J. in Ozz

I have relatives with the names you are looking for but they are from Iowa not WI. My John Sell does have sisters named Anna and Gertrude but the parents names aren't the same. John Sell in my family has a brother named August Sell. There are so many similarities, I have to think there may be a link. Let me know if you want more info from me. I have lots.

Needing additional info for mystery-man, John William SMITH, of Bedford, Blair and Chester Co., PA, b. abt 1874/1875

I am continuing to search for my mystery-man--John William SMITH (2nd marriage) m. Margaret ALLISON 25 Dec. 1912, Newry, Blair Co. PA died perhaps in Chester Co., PA. They had three children: Warren (was in the military), Anna Jane and Grace. John died sometime before late October 1927 (my Uncle remembers John SMITH died when he was in the first grade: Fall 1924-Spring 1925). The 2 girls supposedly lived in Lionville, Chester Co., Pennsylvania.

1930 PA Census (Uwchlan Twp., Chester Co.): Margaret SMITH is listed with her 2 girls (ages 12 and 10 yrs.) as widowed; living 4 households away from possibly her brother—“Russel M. Allison” and family.

Margaret ALLISON b. abt. 1891 was the dau. of Harrison and Jane ALLISON (known siblings: Laura, Jennie, Russell M., and Ruth). As a child she lived with her family in Freedom Twp., Blair Co. (listed in 1900 & 1910 PA Census).

John 1st married Mary SELL of Bedford Co. PA on 26 Mar 1899. John was 24 y/o and living in Bloomfield Twp. at time marriage license was issued. This makes him b. abt. 1874/1875.
They had 2 daughters: M. Kathryn (my grandmother) and Barbara ("Bide").

1900 PA Census, Bedford Co.: Mary and Kathryn are listed in the living with her father (Joseph SELL), but John SMITH is not listed,

1910 PA Census in Bedford Co.: John, Mary and the girls are all listed as living with Mary’s father, Joseph SELL.

They divorce 11 Nov. 1912, and they both remarry within a few weeks. John SMITH to the above mentioned Margaret ALLISON on 25 Dec. 1912, Newry, Blair Co. PA.

I cannot find John or Margaret SMITH in the 1920 PA Census.

John SMITH's father was Joseph SMITH (mother's name unknown).

I know Warren died in the 1950’s, but the girls may still be living. I don’t know if they married or what their married names would be.

Any info would be greatly appreciated—especially on John William SMITH:)
