[shelby research]Hello and Welcome

[Judy (hoberta@hilconet.com)]

Just dropping in again to say welcome to those of you who have just
joined...If you want help, we need to know who you are looking for :-)

Suggestions would be appreciated -- What kind of information would you
like to see posted here? I may not have all the answers...but I'm
certainly not short on SHELBYs!

I'm also chief cook and bottle washer of THE SHELBY EXCHANGE (quarterly)
newsletter [snail mail only] Dues of $12.50 per year, 24-26 pages per
issue, runs from Jan to Jan. Something I love doing - Want to also
mention there is no strings attached to the newsletter- I will do
whatever I can to help.
This upcoming issue will be updating, correcting, and adding to the
descendants of David SHELBY, b 1792 PA; wife Deborah HALL. They had 9
children. They and their descendants settled in various parts of IN and
IL. David's parentage has been a LONG standing mystery.

>From Francis Keenan:

In a partial settlement of the Estate of Joseph Hudson, Elizabeth Adams
and Nancy Hudson paid David Shelby $50. on 28 May 1846 [Deed Book J
p303, Archives, Hardinsburg, Breckinridge Co, KY

In a land transfer document, Joseph and Hannah Hudson granted David
Shelbe [sic] two tracts of land numbered 117 and 118 "in the form and
plan of a town now designated by the name of Hudsonville but liable at
the discretion of the purchasers...etc." The Town of Hudson in
Breckinridge Co, KY (Deed Book Q, p96, 27 Oct 1824]
