6. Richard Warner SHIRLEY born April

Richard was a man of humor and integrity. A humorous story
of his nature is told that one day he came in to the room where
his wife was working and said, "Polly, what is Eliza Jane
doing?" She replied, "Why, Mr. Shirley she is making
an apron." He said, "Good Lord Polly, I could
take a three quarter inch auger and a grapevine and make better
stitches." Late in life he was converted and joined the
Big Creek Baptist church where he taught in the Sunday School
doing all that he could for the uplift of the community church.
After his death in 1850, he was buried on their home place just
above Gradyville, Adair Co. Kentucky.
