| Notes |
Henry Zellers deeded a part of his land, in Augusta County, in 1761 to his son John Conrad Sellers for 5 pounds. Henry and his brother-in-law, William Hedrick, combined their land holding into a single farm of 1500-1/2 acres in 1799. This farm was on east side of the Shenandoah River between Elkton and Port Republic. Henry recovered his part of the farm, 837 acres, after Hedrick's death in 1817 and purchased the remainder after Hedrick's widow's death in 1829. Under the terms of Henry's will (Rockingham County, Virginia Will book A, pg. 126) Henry, Jr. and John received the farm but had to pay each of the girls $900 in annual installments of $100. This land was deeded to Jerome in 1858.
The land was located on Whiskey Creek and remained in Augusta when Rockingham County, was formed. Whiskey Creek flows into Jennings Branch and then into Middle River, a branch of the Shenandoah. The area was subjected to Indian raids and there was an old rock fort on Middle River near the Greenhill Cemetery; near the bend in the river and in sight of Cave Springs by the bluff.
