Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QV.2ADI/609 Message Board Post: We are searching for any information on John Sherley, believed born abt 1831, Ala ??. He married Mahala Hutson age 15 on 4 Oct 1853 in Independence County. Three children, Mary E., b1854, Millie C., b1859, Hiram Edward, b1857. Apparently John died (or something) as Mahala married Richard Avery on 11 Aug 1859, then he died 1860. Hiram later moved to Texas, married twice, had fourteen kids and he is the grandfather to my wife, Frankie Jo, b1937 daughter of William Presley, b1908. We know very little about ggrandpa John except what is stated above. Any help on finding out more about him or what happened to Mahala and the girls would be appreciated. Thanks....
