I have posted the query to a couple of other lists, so I apologize to those who get this more than once. My 5th Great Grandfather was Adam Sellers. Adam spent most of his life in Rockingham County, Virginia, before moving to Warren County, Ohio, in 1817. While still in Rockingham County, Adam's daughter, Mary Christina, married Charles Null, the son of Heinrich "Henry" Null, Sr. and Margaret "Peggy" Harmon, in 1793. In 1800 Charles and his brother, Christian, emigrated to Ohio and located in the Clear Creek Township in Warren County, and eventually brought the rest of the family out to Ohio. The Null Cabin is still standing and is located on what is now the Heatherwoode Golf Course. Adam Sellers died in 1821 and in early 1823 there was an estate sale of items from his property. One such item was listed as "One Large Dutch Bible" which was purchased by Adam's son-in-law, Charles Null. Though I don't have any idea if this was the actual Sellers family bible, chances are good that it was. I realize its a complete shot in the dark and probably a lost cause, but I thought it worthwhile to attempt to find out if anyone has any information as to what might have happened to the Bible. After it was purchased by Charles, it might have been given to other Sellers descendents or it might have been passed down via Null descendants. Just wanted to put this question out there to see if anyone had any idea about the Bible, if anyone had ever heard of it or about it, and/or if anyone had any idea how to go about finding out more about it now that nearly 200 years have passed since Charles Null purchased this "One Large Dutch Bible" from the estate of Adam Sellers in 1823 in Warren County, Ohio. Thanks for reading this .... Michael Sellers 5th Great Grandson of Adam Sellers -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V03 Issue #59 ******************************************
