Welcome to the Sellers Hall website. This is a work in progress. This page was set up to bring awareness to a historic home that is deserving of being saved and restored for future generations, but is in danger of falling forever to ruins. Eventually there will be information on the Sellers family, as well as the Garrett's and other related families. Also, due to numerous genealogical questions, and a few suggestions, there will be information pertaining to other families and areas of interest. Thank you for visiting & enjoy the journey...............

Historic Sellers Hall

     
     Sellers Hall, built c1684, was home to the first registered resident in Upper Darby. Samuel Sellers, along with his brother George, settled on this property c1682, living in a cave until the completion of the house. This is the ancestral home of the Sellers family from which later generations, all descended from Samuel, built their residences in the surrounding area. Not only were the Sellers one of the families who's history in this country precedes the founding of our Nation, but they were & still are very prominent in society. They have made many contributions locally as well as nationally, which are recorded in our history. They were also well known abolitionists, along with the Garrett & Pennock families. Sellers Hall is linked to the Underground Railroad, being one of the homesteads that gave shelter to slaves seeking freedom. The house stands now on the grounds of St. Alice Parish, in Upper Darby, Pa., which adds another interesting chapter into this homes past.
     ~ Unfortunately, this once beautiful home is close to ruins. Over 300 years it has stood, but has now become the victim of neglect........................
