Note: Marriage to Alice recorded in Howard Thurman Sellers Family Bible.
-----------
Terry was living with Lucille and Donna in Fountain Inn, S.C. in 1961. I believe he was working in the mill at Fountain Inn or Simpsonville, S.C. and he got involved with a 16 year old girl and got her pregnant while living with Lucille. This was before he married Lucille. The girl's father came to Terry and Lucille's apartment in Fountain Inn and wanted Terry to marry his daughter. Terry refused and the man told him that he better not ever catch him around his daughter or the baby she was carrying. We do not know whether it was a male or female child that she had, but we think she did not let the child carry the Sellers name. Around 2003, Terry came to my home and wanted me to try and find his child. I was at a loss because I did not know who the girl was or where she went. That was the first time I had ever heard of this child.
Terry also told me he might have fathered a child in Winston-Salem, N.C. I met that child and he did look like a Sellers, but I don't remember his name now.
After Terry and Lucille divorced he married a woman in Atlanta, Georgia. I called her "Radio", because she talked incessantly. I do not know her name and she had 2 children, I believe. Terry brought her and the children to see Mother and Daddy and I was there - she was short and had black hair. He went on a trip before mother or daddy passed away and stopped in Atlanta and picked up "Radio" and they went to New York City, or at least that was his tale to me.

He divorced Alice in October 1961.
