Yes I do have information on the Shearers. I have some of the old bible records (LDS microfische) and have made contact with other Shearers as far west as Washington and as far east as Virginia.... glad to help your friend, let them know. I also own the rootsweb shearer and farthing lists.... both have wonderful researchers on them.
