Hi, my mother was a Shelby, her father James Pherrin Shelby ( b. 1883) =
was one of 14 children born to John Lowery Shelby Jr. and Charity Weaver =
near Lost Creek in Union County, Tennessee. John L Shelby Jr was born =
July 18,1940 and his father was Captain John L Shelby Sr. I have visited =
his grave up in Union County when I was very little when my great uncle =
could take us up there to see the cabin where my grandmother who is a =
Weaver was born. I have most of the siblings' names, birth and death =
dates if anyone is interested. John and Charity died in a small pox =
epidemic in 1904.
There the trail ends and I am trying to find out who is Capt John L =
Shelby Sr's father- ? Evan Shelby- but which one is the question, if it =
even is him. My great uncle talked about the cousins fighting against =
each other in the Civil War- against Gen. Joe Shelby (b. 1830 in KY)who =
took settlers to Mexico after the war. I would like to establish the =
lineage back to Evan Shelby as I was told we are decended from him.
I can't read the tree, maybe someone could explain it to me--
Thanks,
