George and Esther were married 2/12/1818

The first George Selser was born in Chesher County, Pennsylvania in 1756 and died 2/24/1826 at Adams County Plantation in Mississippi.

Our Hester Ann Selser first married George Richards 3/23/1837. We have no information on George Richards, yet; except that he owned a plantation in north Louisiana, where our W. C. Currie was overseer.(That's one account. The other is that W.C. was overseer for his brother-in-law, Jane Currie Beard's husband.)

Hester and George Richards had the following children:

H. C. Richards born 2/9/1838; did not live to adulthood.

Angus Richards born 3/18/1839; did not live to adulthood.

Olivia was "dead" born 8/6/1841.

John Milton Richards was born 9/20/1841; did not live to adulthood.

Sue Richards was born 11/30/1846. "Sis" Sue married Gardner D. Perry.

George Selser Richards was born 8/18/1844; died 9/12/1873. He was married; but as of yet we know nothing of his wife nor if he had children.

Mary Esther Richards was born 2/28/1849. She lived to adulthood; married Gary G. Lynch (?), brother-in-law to her half brother, Howard C. Currie. She inherited one third of the Richards' property as did George and Sue. Mary Esther is buried in the Lynch plot in the Lone Tree Cemetery, Stuttgart, Arkansas.
