[Website editor's note: The Shirley Association has
not verified the link between the family and Prince William Co
VA. Certainly, Ohio is an odd place for a Prince William Co family
to migrate to during this period; however, the Bell family plays
a prominent roll in the other Shirley families of Prince William
Co - so it's possible]

43570 419-924-5677 sandra@locl.net I am searching for any information
concerning James Shirley who married Matilda Bell. James was
born in 1799...She was born in 1817 and died 2/9/1890. She was
the daughter of James Bell and Mary (maiden name unknown). They
lived in the Warsaw, Indiana area and she later remarried to
Joseph Pellett in Sept. 1858. James Shirley and Matilda Bell
were married in 1837. I can find nothing on when or where James
died or where he is buried. I believe they were married either
in Knox Co., Ohio or Kosciusko Co., Indiana. Any help would be
appreciated New email as of 2008: slshirley@verizon.net
