I have the name Eison in my Sellars notes, as follows:
David Sellars b 7-17-1798 Rockingham CO Va
d 3-2-1891 CA, probably Salida CO
(went to CA in 1850s with big family wagon train)
Had three wives. The first was Margaret Mead, d 1835 in childbirth, leaving four children, the third of whom she named John Eison Sellars b 1831. I have no information about him except that he died in Frosser, WA. No idea why she used the unusual middle name of Eison---perhaps a family name. This Sellars family was for a long time in Sevier CO TN and ended up in the vicinity of Stockton, CA.
