(5) James F Young, of Avon, Fulton Co. Illinois, dated ____ Bk U-475 attained the age of 21 yrs, one of the grandchildren of Mrs Margaret Young, late of Lewisburg, Pa. Discharge to George E Shively, my Gdn. I understand the legal descriptions, including the bits of acres & perches (what, no chains to go with the perches?) and I think that this is perhaps sometimes giving the history of land transfers concerning a particular property. The most confusing thing to me is the deed from Robert Badger and his wife Sarah Ann in 1872 to George H Shively. I have three (direct line) Robert Badgers but none with a wife named Sarah Ann. The only one whose name I don't know (I thought) died too early to be signing deeds in 1872. Now, if his wife were named Susannah, it would fit in nicely, because George Shively was his father-in-law. But the only George H I have is a son of Benjamin Shively and his wife, Barbara Shively Shively. No dates for him, alas. I think I know who George Shively is (my direct line). Born 1788, died Nov 1854. His mother is one of those Schmidt/Smiths. His wife is Rachel Sties (1790-1861). That fits with the 2nd deed. I'm not sure who Christian M Shively is because I've got so many Christian Shivelys, and I'm not too sure about Jacob S Shively. There are a lot of Jacobs too. These Shivelys had big families and kept using the same names over and over. John Wesley Baker (no dates) married Rachel Ann Shively July 11, 1865, at Lewisburg, PA. Rachel Ann was born June 19, 1846, White Spring, Union Co. PA, died March 6 1921, Huefner, PA. She is d/o John Shively (1814-1893) and Sarah Catherman Shively, according to my records. That would make her a granddaughter of my George I think. Apparently she owned an undivided one-third of the real estate (82 acres) and deeded her third to Jacob S Shively. I'm very curious about who Nancy Smith is, since I'm always looking for descendants of the Schmidts who turned into Smiths---three of them married Shively siblings. Could she be one of those? And I've never heard the name Klose before. There were some Royers in Buffalo Valley, including one who married into the Shively family. Anyway, at this moment I'm simply confused. I may write to the county court house to obtain copies of the deeds, particularly those involving the Badger name. What else can I learn from this information I've already got?

This fits something I found that didn't directly fit my Kentucky research In 1780, Daniel Boone persuaded a number of families at Fort Redstone and Unionville to go to Kentucky (became the Low Dutch Colony - they went to Shelby Co KY) - these included the 4 sons of a Michael Schaeufle (Shively) - BUT about 1750, a Philip Shively moved to near Fort Redstone (now Brownsville, Union Co PA - on the Monongehela River) - I don't know if this had anything to do with the Michael Shively family also coming to Fort Redstone, so there were Shivelys there - very early Merle C Rummel > I've found some information on line but am not sure what it means.
