2. WALTER SHIRLEY,
JR.
(WALTER1) was born Abt. 1728 in Maryland (?), and died 1805 in
Jefferson County, West Virginia.
Notes for WALTER SHIRLEY, JR.:
For many years after his father's death Walter Shirley lived
on the parental plantation near Keyes Ferry, and then later near
Charles Town, West Virginia, where he died in April 1804.
Walter served in Rutherford's Rangers at the time of the French
and Indian War (Hening's Statutes at Large, Vol. 7, p. 215).
The following notation appears in the records of the Virginia
Land Office, Richmond, Virginia, in French and Indian Bounty
Warrants, Vol. 2, p. 537:
"Berkeley Sct.
March Court, 1780 "Walter Shirley personally appeared in
Court and made oath in the holy
Evangelist of Almighty God that in the year 1758 and 1759 he
served as a soldier in a company of Rangers Commanded by Captain
Robert Rutherford and embodied under an Act of the Assembly of
Virginia until it was Reduced and that he hath never Received
any Land for his services under the King of Great Britain's Proclamation
of 1763 the above affidavit was Supported by a Certificate under
the hand of said Robert Rutherford which is Ordered to be Certified.
"Teste Will Drew Cl. Cur.
"No. 14 Walter Shirley 1064"
An extensive history of Rutherford's Rangers by Colonel Robert
L. Bates may be found in Vol. 4 (1938), page 4, of "The
Magazine of the Jefferson County Historical Society."
Walter and his brothers James and Jarvis are mentioned.
It is believed that Walter's wife Esther (or Hester) died
not long after the birth of their last child Lawrence Vance Shirley
(b. ca.1785). Walter married 2nd to Margaret Riley, widow of
Richard Riley. That Walter did so is based on the following:
1) a deed executed by "Walter Shirley and Margaret his wife"
dated February 9, 1804 (Deed Book 2, page 111, Jefferson County,
West Virginia), and witnessed by "Martha Arendorf"
who was mentioned in Walter's Will as his housekeeper. 2) A Berkeley
County newspaper article dated February 19, 1829, which states
that "Mrs. Margaret Shirley, aged 72 years, relict of Walter
Shirley, formerly of Charlestown, Jefferson County, Virginia"
died at the residence of Richard Riley [her son] in Belmont County,
Ohio. 3) In a private publication called "The Riley Manuscripts,"
a history of the Richard Riley family gathered by Jesse Keyser
Riley of Bealsville, Ohio, it is noted in the family records
of Ephriam Shirley, by his son Benjamin F. Shirley in 1912, that
Margaret Riley "married Walter Shirley, Samuel Shirley's
father."
Walter's Will is recorded in Will Book 1, page 205, Jefferson
County, West Virginia. In it he leaves his land to sons
James and Lawrence, on the express condition that they together
pay son Samuel the sum of "twenty five pounds currency"
within one year of his death. The remainder of his estate
was to be equally divided between his "son David and my
daughters Elizabeth French, Nancy Campbell, Margaret Wysong,
and Mary Barton." His last request was that his housekeeper
Martha Arendorff [probably Orndorff] be moved with her property
to her home in Loudoun County at no expense to her. Wife
Margaret is not mentioned in the Will. Walter's brother
Robert and son-in- law Michael Wysong were made his executors.
married (1) HESTER VANCE, daughter of JAMES VANCE and MARY HOGUE.
She was born Abt. 1738, and died Abt. 1784. He married
(2) MARGARET (UNKNOWN) Abt. 1798. She was born Abt. 1757,
and died February 19, 1829 in Belmont County, Ohio2.
Notes for HESTER VANCE:
The approximate year of Hester (Vance) Shirley's death is established
by the Vance Family Historian Rose Barton Tyler who asserted
(in 1925) that Hester's daughter Mary Shirley was aged three
years when Hester died. Mary Shirley, who later married to Dr.
Hugh Barton, was born April 11, 1780. Mary Shirley was
alledgedly raised by an Aunt, Margaret (Vance) Snapp
Children of WALTER SHIRLEY and
HESTER VANCE are:
i. DAVID3 SHIRLEY.
Notes for DAVID SHIRLEY:
According to Robert L. Bates in "The Story of Smithfield
(Middleway), Jefferson County, Virginia," David Shirley
resided in Jefferson County, Virginia. He served as a ensign
in the Revolutionary War, under Captain Russell. He was
killed by a man named Thompson."

6. ELIZABETH3 SHIRLEY (WALTER2, WALTER1) was born Abt. 1764
in Virginia. She married SAMUEL FRENCH.
Notes for ELIZABETH SHIRLEY:
It is reported that Elizabeth and Husband Samuel French moved
to Western Ohio.
7. NANCY3 SHIRLEY (WALTER2, WALTER1) was born Abt. 1765
in Virginia. She married JOHN CAMPBELL August 31, 1789 in Shenandoah
County, Virginia, son of RICHARD CAMPBELL and REBECCA HAWKINS.
Notes for NANCY SHIRLEY:
John and Nancy (Shirley) Campbell for some years resided in Martinsburg,
Virgina (now West Virginia). They later moved to St. Louis,
Missouri.
8. JAMES3 SHIRLEY (WALTER2, WALTER1) was born Abt. 1770
in Virginia, and died in Ohio.
Notes for JAMES SHIRLEY:
The marriage of James Shirley and Susanna Strodeman is found
at page 204 of "Marriage Records of Berkeley County,
Virginia. 1781 - 1854," compiled by Guy L. Keesecker.
James' name is there spelled as "James Shiely."
On October 24, 1806, in the year following his father's death,
James Shirley and his wife Susanna sold the land inherited from
him. The deed of sale is recorded in Jefferson County,
West Virginia, Deed Book 4, Page 26, and reads in part: "...by
these presents, the said James Shirley and Susanna his wife have
granted, bargained, and sold, and by these presents doth grant,
bargain, and sell unto the said Mangus Tate, Jr., and his heirs
One moiety or equal half part in quality and quantity in a tract
of land lying in the County of Jefferson, which tract of land
was on the eleventh day of April, one Thousand Eight hundred
and four devised by Walter Shirley now decd. to the said James
Shirley and Lawrence Shirley as tenants in common..."
The original acreage devised in his Father Walter's Will to he
and brother Lawrence was "about 90 acres."
It is believed that James and his son David, went to Ohio in
1819 probably in the company of Robert Shirley (son of James,
son of Walter Sr.) and his son James. James and David ended
up in Ross County, cousins James and Robert ended up in Defiance
and Paulding County, Ohio, in 1821.
It seems that James Shirley and his son David fell on difficult
times not long after their arrival in Ross County. The
first reference to James' difficulties include son David (David's
earlier difficulties are describe in his notes).
In the September Court of 1823 a one John McCoy filed suit against
James and son David claiming that in March, 1823,
"Defendants David & James jointly and severally promised
to pay sixty days after the promissory note to the said John
McCoy on order one hundred and fifty two dollars, fifty six cents,
and one fourth of a cent." "And that though often
requested...not regarding their said promises" they
"contrivingly and fraudulently intending craftily and subtly
to deceive and defraud said plaintiff." McCoy claimed
$300.00 damages for their failure to pay.
James and David's attorney filed a statement claiming "that
they did not assume and undertake in any manner and form as the
said plaintiff.." charged in his complaint. Unfortunately,
a note signed by David, and "Xed" by James was produced.
In this promissory note the original $152.56 amount was reduced
by $1.12 in return for "1 skillet lid."
Having apparently lost in court, on September 10, 1925, son David
and uncle Lawrence (his father's brother) assumed an obligation
to McCoy in the amount of $205.12.
It has been said by a descendant of James' cousin that James
and David were "fond of gaming," so perhaps the above
may have been a gambling debt. In any case, it is unknown
to this writer if anything of value other than one skillet lid
went to Mr. McCoy.
married SUSANNA STRODEMAN May 12, 1794 in Berkeley County, (West)
Virginia7.
Children of JAMES SHIRLEY and SUSANNA STRODEMAN are:
25. i. HESTER4 SHIRLEY, b. Abt. 1795, Frederick County, Virginia.
26. ii. DAVID SHIRLEY, b. July 17, 1799, Frederick County,
Virginia; d. October 23, 1858, Antwerp, Paulding County, Ohio.
9. MARGARET3 SHIRLEY (WALTER2, WALTER1) was born
January 11, 1771 in Virginia, and died February 16, 1824 in Jefferson
County, West Virginia8. She married MICHAEL WYSONG,
son of JOHANN LUGWIG RHEINHARD
WEISANG. He was born February 12, 1767, and died April
04, 1849 in Jefferson County, West Virginia8.
10. SAMUEL3 SHIRLEY (WALTER2, WALTER1) was born
Abt. 1775 in Berkeley County, Virginia, and died Abt. 1842 in
Caldwell County, Kentucky.
Notes for SAMUEL SHIRLEY:
It has been said of a descendant of Samuel Shirley and Phoebe
Cook that Samuel was a tryer and tester of arms for the Army
at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. At a fairly early age he departed
for Blountville in Sullivan County, Tennessee, with his brother
in law Dr. Hugh Taylor. From there he ended up in Caldwell
County, Tennessee.
married (1) MARY ELLEN RILEY, daughter of RICHARD RILEY and MARGARET
(UNKNOWN). She was born March 01, 1777 in Charles Town,
(West) Virginia,
and died Abt. 1797 in Berkeley County, Virginia.
Notes for MARY ELLEN RILEY:
In Unrecorded Deeds No. 1, Page 450, Berkeley County, West Virginia,
there is a deed dated August 13, 1791, between Charles Washington
(brother of George) and Mary Riley. Mary is identified
in the deed as
"daughter of Margaret, and Rich'd Riely deceased."
For the sum of fifteen pounds Charles Washington and his wife
Mildred sold a town lot number 51 in Charles Town to Mary. It
is interesting to note that at the time of the sale Mary Riley
was a girl of 14.
Mary Riley died at age 20, unmarried giving birth to Ephriam
Benson Riley. The fact that Mary was unmarried and the
father of Ephriam Benson Riley is clearly established in a Deed
found in Deed Book 21, Page 260, of Jefferson County, West Virginia,
dated September 10, 1836. This Deed is between "Ephriam
Shirley, alias Riley, and Leodocea his wife of Ohio," and
Andrew Hunter of Jefferson County. The land they were selling
was town "lot No. 51, being the same lot which was sold
and conveyed by deed
bearing date on the 13th day of August 1791 and duly recorded
in the Clerk's Office in the County of Berkeley, from Charles
Washington, and Mildred his wife, to Mary Riley, daughter of
Margaret and Richard Riley, the above named Ephriam being the
only child and heir of said Mary Riley, who died intestate, and
the said Ephriam having assumed the name of his reputed father
(Shirley)". Ephriam is named "Ephriam Shirley
alias Riley" some nine times in this deed and its
associated certifications
It has been speculated by numerous Shirley researchers who may
have been the father of Mary's child Ephriam Benson Shirley,
alias Riley. It seems certain that Samuel Shirley fathered
Mary's son Ephriam in view of a letter written September 9, 1912,
by Ephriam's son Benjamin F. Shirley to Richard Riley.
In this letter Benjamin writes "Ephriam Shirley, my father,
told me his father and my grandfather was Samuel Shirley, and
that his grandfather [was] Walter Shirley." He further
writes that "Samuel, Ephraim's father, moved to a place
called French, Broad County, Tennessee." Samuel Shirley
departed for Tennessee with his brother-in-law Dr. Hugh Barton
about the time of Ephriam's birth and Mary's death.
Samuel Shirley was the son of Walter Shirley, Jr. (as indicated
in his notes, Walter married second to Mary's mother, widow Margaret
Riley).

RILEY is:

11. MARY3 SHIRLEY (WALTER2, WALTER1) was born April
11, 1780 in Berkeley County, Virginia, and died December 27,
1852 in Franklin County, Alabama. She married DR. LEWIS
BARTON January 1799 in Greenville, Tennessee, son
of ROGER BARTON and MARGARET GALBREATH. He was born May
17, 1775 in Frederick County, Virginia, and died February 19,
1853 in Franklin County, Alabama.
12. LAWRENCE VANCE3 SHIRLEY (WALTER2, WALTER1) was
born Abt. 1784 in Frederick County, Virginia.
Notes for LAWRENCE VANCE SHIRLEY:
Lawrence Shirley sold the 50 acres of land he "became entitled
to under the last Will and Testament of his deceased father Walter
Shirley." The Deed is dated April 6, 1808, and describes
Lawrence as "now of the County of Ross in the State of Ohio"
(Deed Book 7, Page 515). He was paid the sum of $575.00 for the
property. In a second Deed dated February 16, 1812, it
appears that the same property [50 acres] is again sold to the
same individual (Mangus Tate) for the same amount ($575.00)
This Deed appears at an earlier page in the Deed Book(108), but
was made at a date later than the first.
A possible explanation for there being are two Deeds for the
same property may lay in the fact that the earlier one was between
Lawrence Shirley and Mangus Tate alone, and was not recorded
until May 24, 1813. Evidently in order to be binding at the time
of recording a wife must also be named in the Deed. Lawrence
and Elizabeth Haynes were married on May 25, 1808, after the
first deed was executed, but well before it was recorded.
Thus the second Deed is between "Lawrence Shirley and Elizabeth
his wife" and Mangus Tate.
As noted in the Deeds above, Lawrence Shirley and his wife were
residing in Ross County, Ohio, before 1808. On May 1, 1813, Lawrence
volunteered for service with a Rifle Company of the Ohio Militia,
commanded by Joseph
Chew. A portion of his application for a War of 1812 Bounty
Land Grant dated April 5, 1851, reads as follows:
"...he served in this enlistment about one month, and that
he was honorably disbanded, and that neither he nor the rest
of the company received a written discharge...afterwards enlisted
in the Quarter Masters Department at Franklinton on the Scioto
River sometime in the Month of June, AD 1813...for a term of
three months, and continued in actual
service nearly the full term, being released and allowed to return
home a few day before the expiration of his service account of
sickness in his family." He was released at Basher
Mills, North Fork of Paint Creek, Ohio. At the date of
this application he is shown to be "..aged 66 years, a resident
of Middleport, County of Iroquois and State of Illinois."
Lawrence was still attempting to obtain his Bounty Land Grant
on June 11, 1855, and at that time was residing in Miami County,
Indiana. It is not know by this writer if he was successful
in obtaining a grant.
married ELIZABETH HAYNES May 25, 1808. She was born Abt. 1791,
and died Abt. 1839.
Children of LAWRENCE SHIRLEY
and ELIZABETH HAYNES are:
i. SAMUEL S.4 SHIRLEY, m. MATILDA (UNKNOWN).

25. HESTER4 SHIRLEY (JAMES3, WALTER2, WALTER1) was born
Abt. 1795 in Frederick County, Virginia. She married PIERCE
TAYLOR August 03, 1815 in Ross County, Ohio. He was born
Abt. 1791 in Ohio County, Virginia, and died May 13, 1879 in
Casstown, Ohio.
26. DAVID4 SHIRLEY (JAMES3, WALTER2, WALTER1) was
born July 17, 1799 in Frederick County, Virginia, and died October
23, 1858 in Antwerp, Paulding County, Ohio.
Notes for DAVID SHIRLEY:
It appears that David Shirley managed to get into trouble shortly
upon his arrival in Ross County, Ohio. In the April 1920
term in the Ross Court of Common Pleas may be found the following:
"The Grand Jurors of the
state of Ohio, empaneled and sworn to enquire of crimes and offences,
committed within the body of Ross County aforesaid, in the name
and by the authority of the state of Ohio aforesaid, upon their
oath present, That Andrew Mace, Ephriam Ougheltree, Jesse Mace,
Abner Kerny, David Shirley, Isaac Mace, William Dillon, late
of the
county of Ross aforesaid, together with divers other evil disposed
persons to the number of seven and more (to the grand jurors
yet unknown) on the twenty fifth day of November in the year
of our Lord one thousand and nineteen with force and arms at
Union township. in the county of Ross aforesaid, and within the
jurisdiction of this court, did unlawfully, riotously and routously
assemble and gather together to disturb the public peace, and
so being then and there assembled and gathered together in and
upon one James Anderson in the public peace, then and there being
unlawfully, riotously and routously did make an assault, and
him the said Anderson then did beat, wound and ill treat, and
other wrongs to the said
Anderson then and there unlawfully, riotously routously did,
to the great damage of the said Anderson contrary to the statute
in such case made and provided and against the peace and dignity
of the state of Ohio."
David and the others named above were ordered arrested on July
16, 1820. They pled not guilty at their trial in August, 1820.
In the course of their trial it was discovered that a one David
Anderson (probably a relative of the abused James) was found
to have sold whiskey without a licence (no doubt to the accused
rioters), which apparently was enough of an extenuating circumstance
for the Jury to find David and fellow defendants not guilty,
On September 29, 1823, David
Shirley sued a one John Hall for $66.12. As witnesses in
his action he called "Nathan Shirley [his 2nd cousin], James
Shirley [his father], Ira Davenport, Ozwell Thompson, Edward
Gardner, Lawrence Shirley [his uncle] and Benjamin Jones."
David won his suit, but only in the amount of $22.25 and the
cost of the suit. David
assigned his judgement to father James.
David is last found in the 1850 Census of Defiance County, Ohio,
as family No. 742. His wife Mary (Clifton) and daughter
Susan (who later married Rufus Peck) reside with him. Living
next to him (family No. 741) are his son John J. Shirley and
family.

West Virginia, and died March 18, 1883 in Ball Cemetery, Mason
County, West Virginia.
Notes for EPHRIAM BENSON RILEY,
A.K.A. SHIRLEY:
That this Ephriam Shirley was the child of his unwed mother Mary
Ellen Riley is established by a land deed dated September 10,
1836, found in Deed Book 21, Page 260, at Charlestown, Jefferson
County, West Virginia. This indenture is "between Ephriam
Shirley, alias Riley, and Leodocea his wife of Ohio" and
Andrew Hunter of Jefferson County. The land being sold
is a lot in Charlestown "...which was sold and conveyed
by deed bearing date on the 13th day of August 1791 and duly
recorded in the Clerk's office of the County of Berkeley [Unrecorded
Deeds No. 1, page 450], from Charles Washington [brother of George
Washington], and Mildred his wife, to Mary Riley, daughter of
Margaret and Richard Riley, the above named Ephriam being the
only child and heir of said Mary Riley, who died intestate, and
the said Ephriam having assumed the name of his reputed father
(Shirley)." His father was Samuel Shirley (see Mary
Ellen Riley notes). Mary Riley died in childbirth.
Ephriam was born in his mother's small stone house then located
one half mile out of Charlestown on the Martinsburg road.
The newborn Ephriam was raised to manhood by his grandmother,
the widowed Margaret Riley, who later married 2nd to Walter Shirley,
father of Samuel Shirley.
There is some concern that Ephriam's middle name may have been
Benjamin, instead of Benson as believed by some researchers.

60. JOHN JAMES5
SHIRLEY (DAVID4, JAMES3,
WALTER2, WALTER1) was bornSeptember 21, 1825 in Defiance County,
Ohio, and died March 04, 1872 in Antwerp, Paulding County, Ohio68.
Notes for JOHN JAMES SHIRLEY:
In "Paulding County Fair Centennial Book, 1872 - 1972,"
the following may be found under the heading of Antwerp: "For
a long period John J. Shirley was one of the merchants of the
place, and erected the first brick business room. The first
factory to be established was the Antwerp Stave Company, about
1860. It manufactured staves and heading."
The 1860 Census of Caryall Township of Paulding County, Ohio
(page 128, dwelling 516, family 498) show him residing with Lucinda,
daughters Mary E. and Levina, sons Franklin P. and John H. Shirley.
Also in the household were Frances Peck, age 11, a day laborer
named Henry Leighty, age 22, a Mark Miller, age 19, and Robert
Shirley, age 18 "att[ending] school". The Robert
Shirley living with the family is John's 3rd cousin (Robert was
the son of James and Elizabeth (Gilbert) Shirley, who was the
son Robert and Rachel (Gilbert) Shirley, who was the son of James
Shirley, who was the son of the Founder Walter Shirley, Sr.)
According to "A Century of Progress, Antwerp, Ohio, Souvenir
Edition 1841 - 1941," John J. Shirley was a signatory of
a December 30, 1863, petition to the County Commissioners of
Paulding County, Ohio, requesting that the village of Antwerp
be incorporated.
John J. Shirley served as a Captain in Company A, 132nd
Regiment, of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry (National Guard). He
enrolled on May 2, 1864 and was mustered in at Camp Chase, Ohio,
on May 14, 1864, for a period of 100 days. When mustered
in he was said to be 38 years old; occupation merchant; had grey
eyes, light hair and complexion, and stood 5 feet 8 inches in
height. There appears in his Civil War Service file a letter
which reads as follows:
"Toledo, Ohio, August 8th, 1864 Hon. E.M. Stanton Sec. of
War - Hon.Sir - Doctor A. McDaniels and Mrs. J.J. Shirley wife
of Captain J.J. Shirely of Company A. 132 Regiment Ohio National
Guard unit writes Washington to obtain a pass to go to Fortress
Monroe to bring her husband home. The Capt. is sick at Che__ake
[?] Hospital Fort Monroe. I need not say that they are
loyal and entitled to the confidence of the Government. I trust
you will give them the pass they ask. - Respectfully __ Ashley"
John was mustered out with the Company on September 10, 1864.
An advertisement in the "Paulding Co. Press" of April
23, 1868, reads: "New Grocery Store - John J. Shirley has
just open a New Grocery Store near his old stand at Antwerp,
Ohio...." The lengthy ad goes on to list a myriad
of products for sale.
John J. Shirley's obituary notice appeared on page 2 of the March
7, 1872, edition of the Antwerp Gazette as follows: "J.J.
Shirley. Died--At Antwerp, March 4, 1872, after a prolonged illness,
John J, Shirley, aged 46 years, 5 months and 13 days. The
deceased has been a resident of Antwerp about fifteen years,
during which time he has been actively engaged in business, and
indeed for eight or ten years he has done the leading business
in Antwerp. At the time of his death he owned a half of
the Stave Factory of Shirley and Harris, was also in the mercantile
business. He has ever been liberal in forwarding all matters
of public interest in Antwerp, and the people will feel his loss
very severely. He was a generous, active, enterprising
business man, and we feel his place will be hard to fill. His
funeral, which took place under the auspices of the Masons, at
the B. _ Church on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, was probably
the largest ever known in Antwerp. Only a small portion
of the crowd could get into the church. The bereaved family
have our deepest sympathy in their affliction."
The March 28th, 1872, edition of the Antwerp Gazette published
on page 2 a resolution of mourning adopted by the Antwerp Lodge
No. 335, F.&A.M., and the October 16, 1873, edition of the
paper carried an item on page 3 remarking on the stone
monument being erected at the cemetery in memory of John J. Shirley.
John J. Shirley did not leave a Will. As a result, the
disposition of his Estate fell to appointed Administrators Marshal
Wilson and Frederick Chapin, and the Probate Court. The
Court records show that John had considerable land and business
holdings. His personal assets were shown to be $26,537.34.
Unfortunately, at his death his personal assets were
"...wholly insufficient to pay his debts and charges of
administering said estate." Lucinda was assigned a
Dower Right of $2,000.00. It is believed that Lavina may
well have ended up with more than just her Dower, for in her
Will she leaves her "Antwerp property" and the rents
and profits from the same to daughter Lavina.
married LUCINDA CATHERINE
PEFLEY69 January 20,
1848 in Defiance County, Ohio70, daughter of JACOB PEFLEY and
MARY MYERS. She was born August 16, 1828 in Virginia, and
died November 20, 1893 in Toledo, Ohio71.
Notes for LUCINDA CATHERINE PEFLEY:
Lucinda Catherine Pefley was born in Viginia (probably in Botetourt
County) on August 16, 1828, to Jacob and Mary (Myers) Pefley.
Lucinda was 4 years old when she, her parents and 2 brothers
removed to Ohio.
The January 20, 1848, marriage of Lucinda Catherine Pefly to
John J. Shirley is recorded in the Defiance County, Ohio, Record
of Marriages Vol. Small 1, page 21. Following the death
of John, Lucinda married 2nd
to the Rev. Charles Hoag (the brother of her son-in-law Myron
Chester Hoag). This marriage took place on October 14, 1873.
The October 23, 1873, edition of the Antwerp Gazette carried
the following item on page 2 concerning her marriage to Charles
Hoag: "Married On Tuesday, Oct. 14th. 1873, at Toledo, Ohio,
by Bro. S.S. Barter, Rev. Charles Hoag, of Central Ohio Conference,
to Mrs. Lucinda C. Shirley, of Antwerp, Ohio. The happy
couple arrived at Antwerp on the 2:30 p.m. train, on Saturday
and repaired to the residence of the bride; and in the evening
a grand reception was given, which was a very fine affair and
reflects great credit upon her children. The invited guests assembled
at an early hour and were ushered into the parlor where the bride
and groom awaited their congratulation. We could not but note
how charming she looked in her quite bridal array, and how her
dark eyes glowed, and her face beamed with joyous trust, giving
us an assurance of happiness unmingled with fear for the future.
The Antwerp Cornet Band was present, and gave their congratulations
in the form of some very fine music, and all passed merrily on
'til the hour of nine when the guest repaired to the dinning
room, where a sumptuous repast was served. The table was
beautifully arranged, and filled with every desirable luxury,
the most attractive feature being the brides cake, in the form
of a beautiful pyramid handsomely decorated, and surmounted by
two clasped hands, a beautiful emblem for the occasion.
The evening passed rapidly away and are ushering in of another
day the guests had all departed, and left behind them their sincere
wishes for their future happiness. May brother Hoag never
have cause to regret his many bachelor days, and in the noonday
of his wedded life, may the sweet golden days glide not too swiftly
away."
Lucinda's obituary appears in the November 23, 1893, edition
of the Antwerp Argus. It reads: "On Monday, Nov. 20,
Mrs. Lucinda C. Hoag died at her home in Toledo, O., aged 65
years, 3 months and 6 days. Her remains were brought to Antwerp,
Wednesday, and funeral services were held in the M.E. church,
Rev. John E. Wean, officiating. Interment took place in the Antwerp
Cemetery. Mrs. Hoag was formerly a resident of Antwerp,
being among the early residents of the village. Her late
husband, Mr. John Shirley, who died some years ago, being one
of the first business men in the town, and many conspicuous marks
of his enterprise are yet seen in the village."
The Lucas County, Ohio, Probate Court held a hearing on December
30, 1893, in the matter of Lucinda's Will (Adm. Docket No. 770,
Vol.2, p. 770). In court Lucinda's Will was produced,
but her signature and those of the witnesses to her signature
"had been, by some person unknown, removed by cutting the
same from said paper-writing." The witnesses were
produced, and the Will accepted. Lucinda bequeathed to
daughter Lavina
her "homestead consisting of a house and barn in North Toledo,
Ohio," together with 14 lots where the house and barn stood.
Lavina also was to receive the rents and profits from her property
until such time as her
daughter Mary reached age 21. Her grand-Daughters L. Clark
was to receive $1,000.00 when aged 21. After Lavina's death,
grand-daughter Mary Hoag was to receive the property givin to
Lavina.
