Biographical Sketch:
The subject of this sketch was born in the town of Lyme, New London Co., Conn., Feb. 28, 1803. His parents, Stephen and Polly Sellard, emigrated to Luzerne Co., Pa., when be was but ten months old. Reared under the plain, invigorating influence of frontier life, coupled with the pious teachings of his parents, he grew up a model young man, blessed with a strong mind united to a powerful body. His school advantages were quite limited, owing to the newness of the country. He, however, made excellent use of the educational opportunities afforded him. He lived with his parents until he was twenty years of age. He then, with characteristic energy and perseverance, began to earn the means of his own support. At the age of twenty-five, by means of his industry and economy, he had amassed a sum sufficient to purchase a farm upon which the present village of Canton is built.
He was married, Jan. 10, 1828, to Miss Rosina, a daughter of Augustus Loomis, who emigrated from Harrington, Conn., to this county, and located upon the farm now owned and occupied by Captain Sellard. Mrs. Sellard was the sixth of eight children, all of whom except the two oldest, Eleazer and John, are still living. Mrs. Sellard is now in her sixty-ninth year. They have had born to them twelve children, only four of whom, viz., Lewis, Emeline, Augusta, and James, are now living. Lewis was born Oct. 22, 1840; was married to Elizabeth Kilburn, of Italy, Yates Co., N. Y. He enlisted in the United States Army July 25, 1862, and was discharged May 24, 1863. Augusta was married to Henry Palmer, who served with credit during the late Rebellion, and died Nov. 10, 1871. Emeline was married to Walter Leavitt, June 15, 1853. James is unmarried, and is living at home with his parents. Captain Sellard is at present owner of a splendid farm of two hundred and fifty acres, most of which is under a good state of cultivation. A double-page illustration of his farm, residence, etc., can be seen by referring to another page of this work. He was appointed in 1830 captain of a Pennsylvania militia company. For this position he was particularly fitted, possessing a finer physique and bearing, than is often seen. He has filled numerous town offices with ability and credit. He is a member of the Republican party, and has remained, ever since his joining the party, true to its principles. He is, at his advanced age, in robust health and will doubtless live long to enjoy the handsome property he has accumulated.
