Notes for Samuel Jr. SELLERS
Samuel Sellers II, born 3-12-1690, and died 6-3-1773, was the only surviving son of Samuel Sellers I and Anna Gibbons Sellers. "He lived on the same premises, followed the same trade of weaving as his father.
He was somewhat noted for his mechanical ingenuity. He erected the first twisting mill, it is believed, in Pennsylvania (a complex machine for twisting
worsted), and became famous for coverlets by Nathan Rambo. Esq. West Chester, Pa.
The Pennsylvania Gazette of June 9, 1773 says of Samuel; "A kind husband, a tender parent, a good neighbor, and above all an honest man."
Samuel and Sarah were life long members of the Darby Meeting and their names appear many times in the minutes. Sarah seemed especially active. Samuel Sellers and Sarah Smith "declared their intentions" in Darby Meeting 7-3-1712 and 8-8-1712. Sarah died 5-24-1778.
