children:
(1). John
1794 VA died in 1876 Syrene, Texas. He married 1st Nancy
Fowler April 6, 1818 in Clark Co. IN. They divorced in 1829.
He married 2nd Fannie Minnich May 15, 1829 Knobs, Floyd IN.
He divorced his second wife in 1836 married 3rd Eliza Pennington
May 11, 1837 in Green Co. IN. She died Jan 6, 1894 near Dallas
Texas.
On Jan 26, 1835 John and Fannie
sold a 1/2 section in Clark Co. IN that John had bought from
David Worth Oct 7, 1829 (Floyd Co. Books D page 234 and G page
604).
An abandoned cemetery at the
Knobs has a tombstone for Clarissa, daughter of J. and F. Shirley
d. Mar 30, 1836 in her 8th year. (Her birth date would be
before the marriage of John and Fannie, but must be their daughter).
IN the 1850 census of Jasper
Co. MO we find John and Eliza with Charlotte A. 12 years (1838)
IN, John A.M. 8 years (1842) MO, Myra 2 years (1848) MO., Benton
9 months (1849) MO living in the household.
In the 1860 census John is recorded
as a hotel keeper in Jasper Co. MO with property worth $10,000.
In his household was his wife, Eliza, Allison 18 MO, (probably
John A.M. in the 1850 census), Myra 12 MO, Edwin 11
MO (probably Benton in the 1850 census), Mansfield 8 years MO,
Cravens 2 years MO.
In settlement of Christian's
estate in 1865 John received 6 20/100 acres. In 1873 the
court recorded John Shirley of Jasper Co. MO did not pay taxes
on the land for a number of years, and the land and debt
was assumed by Denton Shirley, brother of John. The Floyd Co.
IN records further show that John Shirley died by 1877
and that on April 17, 1877, a quit-claim was signed by
Eliza Shirley, John Shirley and Myra Walker, all of Jasper Co.
MO. (John's widow, his son and daughter).
Eliza Shirley died in 1894 near
Dallas Texas. In her death notice in the local newspaper it mentions
Eliza for several years lived upon the charity of the Methodist
Church of which she was a member. She was regarded as a pattern
of piety.
