Bryan,
Your post mentions three names of interest to me: SELLERS, LEYSATH, and TISDALE. The SELLERS name is part of my BROOKS and BLACK research. An obit I posted on this site for JMY SELLERS said his daughter was Mrs. W. A. LEYSATH. I'm wondering if that is the same W. A. LEYSATH mentioned in the 1880 census info I posted below. W. A. LEYSATH had a brother named Walsh LEYSATH. born c. 1859. A Henry Leysath (right age to be their other brother) lived next door to some of my BROOKS family in 1920 in Butler Co. (somewhere near New Home or Dunham). The name Samuel TISDALE was mentioned in several BROOKS estate records around 1870s.

I could not read Henry's wife's name. It looked like "Saramae."
Henry LEYSATH was next door to Sarah BROOKS--widow of George L. BROOKS--and Reins(?) Acherman and Sallie Weathers(?). Other names nearby were John Carpenter, Eliza Pain/PAYNE, Wm. Carpenter, John and Sallie BROOKS HALL (my g-gps); Hal or Tal HALFORD, Zebulon R. Acreman, and Edward DUNCAN

I'm very interested in you information on these names. Thanks.
