Interested in contacting the descendants of Charles ASKEY and Josephine SELLMAN. According to censuses, Charles was born about 1865 in Pennsylvania. He was married to Josephine J. SELLMAN who was born 15 March 1868 in Hamtramck, Wayne Co., Michigan. She was the daughter of (Johan) Anthony SELLMAN and Katherine TYSON. Josephine immigrated to Kansas with her mother, step-father (Caspar SCHMIDT) and 6 of her siblings. She married Charles 28 January 1890 in Ottawa County, Kansas. I have found the following children on various census:
Agnes b. February 1891
Lloyd b. December 1892
Catherine b. January 1895
Josephine b. July 1898
Edna M. ca. 1901-1902
Genevia (sic) ca. 1905-1906
Carl ca. 1911-1912
The 1900 and 1910 census has the family living in Kansas; the 1920 census has them in Missouri. The last information that I have found was the 1930 census where Charles, Josephine, Lloyd and Carl were living in No. 4 Township, Craig County, Oklahoma.
According to her mother's probate records (May 2, 1910), Josephine requested permission of the court to get papers from the bank that belonged to her mother. Also the probate records show that there was a family bible and pictures. Hoping that someone who descended from Josephine may have the above papers/pictures and would be interested in sharing them with other Sellman descendants.
