Husband's Notes
Adam Sellman accompanied his parents to Ohio (Now Brooke Co, W. Virginia) in Oct 1784. When his mother died in 1790, his father deeded him the lands formerly purchased from Charles Wells and John Tilton; he also made over to him all his personal property including a number of slaves. Adam Sellman then returned to Maryland in order to assist his father in the matter of a suit against Thomas Sellman and Adam Sellman's brother William by Henry Dorsey, assignee of Edward Dorsey, relative to the title of certain lands in Maryland. Returning he was active in bringing about the organization of the new county of Brooke and was appointed Constable on March 24, 1797. Early in 1804 he was compelled to defend the title to the Brooke County farm against the claims of his brother William. These troubles apparently made him decide to leave Brooke County. On April 24, 1806 he sold his lands to Richard McClure and moved down the Ohio River to Adams (now Brown) County, Ohio. Adam Sellman settled in what is now Jackson Township, Brown County, then virtually a wilderness. The farm on which he lived until his wife's death was located about one and one-half miles southeast of the present villiage of Ash Ridge. After his wife's death, he lived with his son Thomas near Winchester. At his death he was buried by his wife's side in the old Sellman graveyard, located in a beechwoods on the farm where he had settled.
