Do any of you know anything about the following Bechtel/Kerlin connection.:
??????????????? The 1911 obituary of her brother Kerlin Baker Sellers implies that his sister, Elizabeth, is dead.?? Elisabeth (b. 1808) was married to George Bechtel based on the marriage record (m 10 Feb 1835 Stouchsburg, records of Christ Lutheran) and references to the estate of George Bechtel in the estate documents of Elizabeth and Kerlin¡¯s father, Frederick Sellers.? At the time of the final distribution of Frederick¡¯s estate after widow Ellen had died in 1873, a claim against the estate was made by Franklin Smith, administrator of the estate of George Bectle [sic], deceased, for board and room expense ($27.05) and interest ($6.34), presumably for the widow, Ellen, for her care after Frederick d. in 1864.???
? ???? I have been unable to identify any appropriate George Bechtel whose wife is named Elizabeth on the 1860 census.? Does anyone have this information?? What happened to George Bechtel?? If he died, did Elizabeth marry again?
??? My primary interest is in the Sellers family.
