Surnames: Shirey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3R.2ADE/1778 Message Board Post: I'm looking for any information on G.W. Shirey and if anyone could tell me where Sparta, AL. was or is? I have a copy of a land regristration 1841 which says District of lands subject to sale at Sparta, Alabama and registered at Sparta land office. Abraham Burk apigree of George W. Shirey. I assume this means Burk seller and Shirey buyer. Any other information that anyone might have on the Shirey family.

apigree ? Is this spelled correct?

I believe that should be read assignee: assignee (law) the party to whom something is assigned (e.g., someone to whom a right or property is legally transferred)
