Dear Sue, site, etc: Hello. Thanks for the messages. Seems "we" were just over this area/subjects/etc short time ago? Maybe not? As I get older, and dumber, I sure get slower. A lot of the answers to those 4 pages of questions are in my piles of research, and will take time to produce. Of course, some answers I do not have. I can start with some easy ones. The Short Family Cemetery was "renamed" or "identified" in the 1950's, by the DAR, because there were two (and only two) Rev War Veterans buried there, John Short Sr, and John Wheeler Sr. The cemetery was located on Short land, and remained Short land untill 1847; when John Short Sr's son William Short died in 1846, his widow kept about 3 acres (out of the remaining 100 acres), and all of the Indiana and Ohio heirs sold their shares. The DAR "tagged" the cemetery the "Wheeler/Short Cemetery" for their identification as they attempted to list all of the Rev War Vets of the whole area. I was lucky enough to have searched for the cemetery about 4 1/2 times, visit and repair at it about 6, 7, times, and unlucky enough to visit it 3 times after its distruction by a bunch of idiots. Mary Tewell, wife of Sanford Tewell, WAS NOT the daughter of John Short Sr and wife Mary (unknown/unrecorded/undocumented maiden name). They had a daughter named Mary, but she never married. She was classified as an "idiot", which in that era meant she could have been "mentally off", or worse, - - - - - - or merely "deaf and dumb", or such. Samuel Short, son of John Short Sr and Mary ( ? ), married 1806 Mason Co Ky, to Frances Tewell. I "indicate" Sanford Tewell as "probable" brother to Frances. I would "guess" Barton Tewell, or John Tewell, both somewhat older than Sanford, as one being a parent, or both older brothers? I never researched them. Sanford Tewells wife, Mary ( ? ), died 1842, Clermont Co Ohio, buried Short Family Cemetery. Sanford went on to Jefferson Co Ind, died there, buried there. I found no "association" or "connection" between the Shorts, and the Tewells and Wheelers, before the late 1790's, in Mason Co Va/Ky (and still is Mason Co Ky.) Mason Co contained some 15 present counties at that time, but the Shorts settled up and back from the Ohio River, at Washington, rather than at Limestone (present Mayfield); present Mason Co. There were several intermarriages between Shorts, Tewells, Wheelers, "Bhymers". Enough for now. Take care. Regards, Dick
