On September 19, 1778, Simon bought 150 acres of land on the west side of the White Marsh from James Corbett, Matthew’s father-in-law. This land had been sold earlier to Corbett by Matthew. On March 16, 1779, Simon filed a survey for 100 acres on the east side of Beaverdam Swamp, which drains into the Waccamaw River some 10 miles north of the Seven Creeks (N.C. Grant No. 204). Simon sold this land to John Flin on August 1, 1782.

In 1783, Simon moved eastward to the vicinity of the Cape Fear River. On August 1 of that year, he received a grant for 100 acres on the northwest side of Orton Mill Creek, on a fork (N.C. Grant No. 346). On the same day, his brother Elisha was granted 100 acres on the northwest branch of Roger Moores Creek. In April, 1785, however, Elisha endorsed his land over to Simon (same grant file as above). In September of the same year, Simon bought 640 acres more on Mill Creek Branch of Town Creek from Thomas Russ, and on October 29 had an additional 100 acres on the north side of Orton Mill Creek surveyed. A grant for the latter was awarded on July 11, 1788.
In December, 1785, Simon was appointed as a patroller in the neighborhood of Brunswick by the county court. On August 2, 1787, Simon bought a house and lot in Brunswick Town, the confiscated property of James White, a Loyalist. In 1788, he purchased 320 acres on the east side of the Cape Fear, on Federal Point in New Hanover County, and in June of the following year he sold 320 acres of the 640 he had acquired on Mill Creek, to Levy Sparkman. In March, 1789, he purchased a second lot in Brunswick Town.

Simon Sellers married Winney Baker on April 26, 1814, in Brunswick County, with Henry Mintz as witness. Winney Baker possibly was related to Abram Baker, who also owned a large parcel of land on the Brunswick County side of the Cape Fear. Winney’s name appeared in the Brunswick County court record of July 31, 1809, when she, Mary Baker, Elias Smith and Ann Smith ceded property to Isaac Baker - probably an inheritance settlement. Simon Sellers, Jr., was bequeathed 3 slaves from his father’s estate, receiving them on December 1, 1818.
Simon’s will was filed on December 26, 1816, in Brunswick County. In it, he named his wife, Winnie, children Simon Sellers and Effie Grissom, and son-in-law James Grissom. The will was proved in the Brunswick County court of January 1, 1817, by the oath of Benjamin Sellers. John C. Baker was named as the executor of the will.
On January 9, 1815, Simon Sellers of New Hanover County bought 500 acres on the Cape Fear River north of the first branch above Snows Point, from Elizabeth Cains and William Gilbert. In the 1815 tax list for Brunswick County, Simon is listed as an owner of property in the Northwest District, on the Cape Fear River. He was not listed for the Town Creek District and so evidently had disposed of the 320 acres on Mill Creek that he had retained there in 1788.
