This early line is centered around Somerset and Worcester Co., Md. William Atkinson Selby and his wife Sarah White Townsend are said to have died in 1809 in either Worcester Co., MD or Bourbon Co., KY. Most, maybe all, of their descndants migrated to Bourbon Co., KY, many of them continuing on to Indiana, Illinois and points west. The following 4 researchers are 'cousins' of mine, as they are also descendants of William Atkinson and Sarah White Townsend Selby and their posting follow:

UPDATE {4/9/98] A distant, distant, distant, cousin
died earlier this year. While a relative was going through some of her notes found
data indicating Benjamin F. Selby died at 2:00 O'Clock Dec 7, 1857. No indication if
A.M. or P.M. nor did it indicate where the death occur. In other notes Benjamin's
son, WILLIAM A. SELBY was seriously ill on Feb

I am descended from William Atkinson SELBY and Sarah
White (TOWNSEND) SELBY through their son Joshua A. SELBY, b. 17 Jul 1795, MD, d.15 Jul
1867 Decatur Co. IN. Joshua A. married Mary RIGGEN 13 Nov 1816 in Nicholas Co.KY.
MY MOST WANTED: It is their son Jesse, b. abt 1828, probably Rush Co. IN, who is giving me
some trouble. Jesse SELBY married first Francis A. ? who died with her infant daughter in
1858. Jesse then married Comfort L. MITCHELL in 1860 in Shelby Co. IN. I found land
records for Jesse and Comfort in Decatur Co. and Shelby Co. IN
until about 1881. Then I have nothing and I don't know where they went, where they died or
where they are buried. Jesse and Comfort may have gone somewhere with Comfort's parents,
Fielding and Mary (ALLEY) MITCHELL, who would have been in their 70s. I don't have death
information on them either.
My grandfather Joshua Norman SELBY, b. 1867 in Decatur or Shelby Co. IN, appeared in
Kansas by 1898 when he married my grandmother Eva May JONES in Washington Co. KS. They
lived first in Effingham near Atchison and then in Kipp, Saline Co. KS.
If anyone has come (or does come) across my elusive pair, Jesse and
Comfort, please let me know.
Thanks, Janet Selby<[email protected]>

I am a descendant of Wm. Atkinson Selby who married Sarah White Townsend,
28 Feb, 1782. Wm.'s father was John Selby, his mother was Mary Atkinson. I descend
from WAS' son Joshua Selby. His dau. Eliza Jane was my greeat-grandmother.
A Biographical Dictionary of the Maryland Legislature by Papenfuse, Day,
Jordan, and Stiverson Vol 2, I to Z says in part:
William Atkinson Selby [1757-?], son of John Selby of Nassawadux, Pocomoke
Hundred, Worcester Co., was indicted by the Warcester County Court in June
1779 for "going over to the enemy". He was a great-great-grandson of
Thomas Selby [?-1702], who immigrated to Maryland from Accomack County, Va. by
1674. His grandfather was John, son of Thomas [?-1758], and his wife Margaret
Scholfield. His mother was Mary Atkinson, daughter of Angelo Atkinson.
My 'most wanted' info is documentation of this lineage from Thomas to Thomas to
John to John? There are so many John Selbys in the early county records that I
can't tell who belongs to whom!
I have research papers of Charles L. Stewart, concerning the family of Wm.
A. Selby. I am happy to copy and mail for costs. Consists of 15 pages.
