I am the gr-granddaughter of Oliver G. Selman. Oliver is the brother of this Benjamin Franklin Selman. These 2 brothers lived in the same town and their kids, grandkids, etc grew up together. They went to the same schools. My Grandfather was Benjamin Sylvester Selman. He was named after this Benjamin F Selman. There are many Benjamin Selman's in our line and I just wanted to make sure people knew which one he is in the family tree. My Grandfather had the family bible and we know who Oliver and Ben F. Selman are the sons of and where their history originates.
I hope this helps anyone looking for their Benjamin Selman line. Cheryl Selman Gill
