Her first name is spelled many ways on records. It was a toss-up as to what spelling to use, so the spelling in her 3rd husband's obit was used!

From her first marriage, she had a daughter Mattie and a son John Henry Kimble.

She had a daughter, Lilly Kimble, after 1st husband, William Kimble died serving in the Civil War. Lilly's father is unknown. Lilly married John Purtee and they had at least one son named Hubert.

Sellanira was married 2nd to Thomas Baker on 17 Oct 1868. They had two sons Hubert Wilson Baker and James Curtis Baker. This marriage ended in divorce about 1878.

By the 1880 census she was married to her 3rd husband Lyman Hatfield. He died on 14 Jan 1895.

A 4th marriage to Amos Bunting was on 9 Nov 1895. She died eleven months later. Amos died in Oct 1900. He is enumerated on the 1900 US Census in St Joseph Twp., Williams Co., OH in the household of his son John Bunting. This 1900 census is indexed as "Banting" -- a transcription error.

Her death certificate has her married surname as Bunting; her obit listed her as Mrs. Lyman Hatfield so I am using Hatfield as the surname for this memorial. Since she does not have a tombstone it was a hard choice as to which surname to use.
