A John
Shelay appears in 1810 census for Scott County. The 1820 Scott County census
shows John Sheley, Sr. & Jr. and Singleton Sheley. By 1850 John
Sheley, age 35, wife Mary Moore and children; John S. and Robert. I
believe this to me my line. John S. Shely, was in Texas by 1854 and
married to Susannah Rutledge. Also, a William Shely married Mary Ann
Benevedes in Calhoun County, Texas in 1851. This Kentucky family seems to
have been intermixed with the Stapleton family. Let me know of any
information.
