Son of Hans Heinrich and Anna Maria (Fechter) Zeller. Married Barbara Teeter. Father of Henry, Christian, Peter, Mary Christina, Elizabeth and Adam.
Adam was most likely born in Pennsylvania a few years after the family's migration to America when they landed in Philadelphia on 16 September 1738 aboard the "Queen Elizabeth". No birth nor baptism records have yet to be found for Adam. The original German spelling of the name was "Johan Adam Zeller". Anglicanized by both the English courts as well as English society in general, the English version of the name became "Adam Sellers". The last name is also found in various court records either as "Seller" or as "Sellars". As evidenced by the estate records at his death in Warren County, Ohio, he was known as "Adam Sellers".
Adam's gravestone stands on the far left in a row of four. Next to him, second from the left, is a gravestone for Mariah Null the likely second wife of Adam's former son-in-law, Charles Null. The next gravestone, third from left, is likely that of Adam's daughter, Mary Christina (Sellers) Null, first wife of Charles Null. She is listed in a transcription of the cemetery in the 1960s by the DAR as being buried there in that spot, but the gravestone itself has since been broken off at ground level. On the far right of this row is the gravestone for Charles Null. Its likely that Adam and daughter Mary Christina were buried next to each other after Adam's death in 1821 and Mary Christina's in 1824. Charles was buried to the right of Mary Christina when he died in 1844. Charles' second wife, Mariah, was then buried between Adam and Mary Christina to complete the row when she died in 1845.
