William Read Shelby passed away 14 Nov 1930, Grand Rapids, MI. His son Cass Knight Shelby, died at the age of 94 in March 1964, in Hollidaysburg, Baker Co, PA. Cass spent the better part of 70 years researching the SHELBY family.. Cass seems to become by SHELBY GURU :-) I have spent the last 30 years as fascinated with the Shelby's as Cass was. I have copies of much of Cass' research papers, and always on the look out for more. I also publish a quarterly newsletter THE SHELBY EXCHANGE. My husband is a descendant of Isaac Shelby, the first Gov of KY. Dispite my efforts, I have yet to find any of the descendants of this family. Judy Trolinger
