Sharon It was not clear to me whether you are pursuing Shurley or Perry descendants of Thaddeus Shurley I am a descensdant of Thaddeus Surley (1757-1840) and his son Meredith (1790-1860) and would like to know more about Meridith's wife Elizabeth Walston (c1794->1863) as well as Thaddeus' wife Elizabeth. Thanks, John Bowen.

By 1850 they are living in Pontotoc Co., MS. In the household at that time are Philemon, 19; Frederick, 17; Nancy, 14; Rhoda, 12; Rebecca, 10; Temperance, 7; and Ruth, 5.

It would appear that several of the children might have been old enough to have married and perhaps stayed in SC when the parents and younger children moved to MS. > >Any help would be appreciated. > >Thank you, Sharon Bryant > > >============================== >To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > >
