Posted Ancestry.com for Sellingham
Dear Debra,
Good to hear from you again. I have only been able to get back as far as Jacob Sellingham Sr. who was born about 1709 in Rhine Germany. Have not been able to get any further information from Germany so far. Jacob died 7 Aug 1769 Ashby, Massachusetts.
One of his sons, Henry "Hendrick" Sellingham bor 24 Aug 1735 in Germany also came to this country with his dad. Henry married Cathrine (maiden name unknown)
As far as I know.......no one has any further information then is for the Sellingham family that came to this country from Germany.
Respectfully Yours,
