The Selden family has a long history both in the United States and in England. The name originated from the ancient location of Selkeden in Eccleston, Sussex, England. The first known Selden in this family was John, born about 1210.

Seldens were numbered among the early settlers of New England. Dorothy Selden married Stephen Hosmer; their son settled in Connecticut, another son James lived in Concord, Massachusetts. The Selden name in America was carried by Thomas Selden (b. 1616/17; d. aft Aug 1655).
