Need Information On Lilburn Richard Sells

I believe that Mary Green Cole (John10, Isaac9, James8, David7, Sampson6, Joseph5, Hugh4, Hugh3, Hugh2, James1) m. Joseph Wheeler Sells on 2 June 1897 in Pickett Co., TN. They had at least 2 children b. in Pickett Co., and at least 5 b. in St. Clair Co., IL.
Mary’s sister Sarah m. Thomas Sells, Joseph’s brother. They had at least 9 children. They are in Pickett Co., TN, in 1910, and Hart Co., KY, in 1920 and 1930.
Lilburn was the brother of Solomon Sells, the alleged second husband of Mary and Sarah’s mother Nancy Cross Cole, but I can't find evidence of this marriage.
I am interested in hearing from descendants.
