The Irish Green Flag
(Flag of the Rebellion)

According to family legend, Henderson Vandergriff, originally
surnamed Wilson, fled Ireland after he and his two brothers were involved
in the unsuccessful
Irish Union Rebellion. He and his brothers fled to the Netherlands,
where they changed their name to Vandergriff and lived a few years,
then came to the United States about 1804.

Copy of Bill of Sale for a
slave
(This document is attached only for its historic value. I'm uncertain
of its exact connection to the family, but this copy was given to me
by one of our Sellars relatives. The appearance of this document here
should not be taken to mean that I approve of human bondage or that
I approve of my ancestors' life-styles! Some of them, for God's sake,
were Republicans!)
