Shurley Brothers named in 'Early Southern Families'

brothers

1. Edward Shirley - born about 1730s presumably in Ireland or Scotland; He is named as a brother in E.S.F.

2. James Shirley - born about 1730s presumably in Ireland or Scotland; He is named as a brother in E.S.F

4. John Shirley - born about 1730s presumably in Ireland or Scotland; He is named as a brother in E.S.F

5. Richard Shirley - born about 1730s presumably in Ireland or Scotland; He is named as a brother in E.S.F

6. William Stubley Shirley, born 1732 in Ireland or Scotland; He died June 3, 1799 Jones Co GA, Jones county does not exist in 1799

According to the book "Eight Southern Families" William Stubley was born in Ireland in 1732. (Another source says Scotland). He came to America with brothers Edward, James, John and Richard settling in Augusta Co. VA. From there they separated, one going to Kentucky and another to South Carolina. Later Edward, James, John and William settled in GA about 1775. William served as a private in GA troops in the Revolution and was granted 250 acres at the Ford of McBeans Swamp, 140 acres at Chickasaw Old Path, 200 acres each in the Parish of St. Paul and St. George in Georgia.

DNA matches the family of Richard Shirley Branch 1 of Laurens Co SC Editor: I believe some of the Georgia Shirleys shown in this lineage may be children of Richard Shirley of Laurens Co SC, not his brother William Stubley Shirley Sr of this branch and who appears in Richmond Co GA in 1766

1755 - Orange Co NC Tax List - William Stutley Shurley 1 poll, 0 blacks

1766 - Georgia - Read a petition of William Shirley he has been in Province about 10 years had no land granted him and was desirous to obtain land for cultivation having a wife and 5 children praying that 250 acres at the Ford of McBean’s Swamp whereon he was settled and 150 acres at the Chicasaw Old Path where it crosses McBean includeing Kelly’s improvement and to run on both sides of said swamp [250 acres granted by the governor]

1768 - Anson Co NC - Jan 13, 1768 William Stoutley Sherley of St. Paul' Parish, Providence of Georgia, to Micajah Pickett Jr., of the waters of Craven County South Carolina, for 20 pounds, tract on northeast side of Peedee River to west side of Cartledge's Creek, granted to him April 1762. (no acreage given). Isom, Eliz. Picket and John Sutton. Proved by Eliz Pickett. Deed Bk H-1, p. 205

1779 Complaint to Board by William Stubley Shirley …[he] was plundered of a considerable part of his property by persons now inhabitants of South Carolina and forcibly detained him in South Carolina….[Board] recommends that South Carolina assist Shirley in recovery.
