Update
Jul 2011 - Editor:
Daniel Shirley, brother of
John and Peter served in the War of 1812 and applied for bounty
land many years later when he lived in Iowa. In many of the official
US govt correspondences, the Gov't says he served under the name
aka Daniel Schyray. I just saw another document in his file that
says 'I forwarded a declaration to your office under date of
30 November 1850 for a GERMAN named Daniel Shorely or Schyray.
I think he stated in his declaration that he lost his certificate
of discharge' .....There is an intriguing orphans court record
in York Co PA for John, Daniel, and Peter, sons of John Shirey
dated in the 1813-15 timeframe (perfect for the father to have
died and perfect for the age of the 3 boys prior to their departure
for Berkeley County VA ). BUT....the surname is SHIREY (very
clear and legible and the same spelling on numerous orphans court
documents). Now, while the names Peter, Daniel and John are very
common in this area because of the Germans, this item is still
possibly a Shirley (maybe). The reason I say this is because
the surname in Berkeley and Morgan tax lists are consistently
(year after year) SHIRELY, not Shirley etc. There is always an
"e" after the "r".
