Query Posted by Sharon Herndon on July 20, 2002 at 17:09:48:

Burton Shirley(my great grandfather) was born in 1857 in Washington County Arkansas. Married Eliizabeth Reed on March 9, 1876 in Washington County. Elizabeth was born May 1, 1859 & died in 1900. Their children were Jay Hugh, Miley, Oscar, Buck, Parce, Wade. And three daughters, Sallie Melissa Deann(my grandmother), a sister Jennie & a sister Anna. We never knew anything about the sisters, little about the brothers & less about Burton. Although I have learned that Jennie was Jennie Sherley Knox from Forsyth, MO. I do know he did remarry. I would be interested to know who his second wife was & their children. My grandmother married Hugh White Coffman from Wise County TX. It's strange with the big Shirley website that I can't find any names that fit with this family. We always spelled it Sherley. My grandmothers son was named Sherley Coffman & is buried at Cottondale Cemetery in Wise County. Betty posted a picture of Burton & his sons & my grandmother on her website. Thanks for any information. Sharon Srygley Herndon

Hi Tom, I'm your cousin Cindy from California. My grandma was your dad's sister, Lottie Lois Sherley/Shirley (Mallon). My mom, Sherley Mae Davis (Bietz), was Lottie's daughter. I'm told I look like Lottie and she was my favorite! A few years before she passed on she said that she had heard we were related to Belle Starr (Shirley). I asked my "Uncle Buck" Keith (actually cousin) if he'd ever heard that and he hadn't. I figured since they've all passed on except Buck, that I should try to find out for my family's sake. If you have any info on the family, please send it to me. I know that Buck still owns the old family homestead outside of Stigler, OK. I'm going to be talking to him soon about that since Belle Starr is buried somewhere around the Eufuala/Stigler area. Please email me when you can! Take Care, Cindy Clark

My name is Thomas Burton Sherley. My father was Thomas Alonzo Sherley (known as Alonzo, Lonnie, and T.A.), son of Taylor Buck Sherley known as Buck. I don't have a lot of info regarding my ancestry on my father's side. I was excited to see the photograph of Burton and his sons. I have the same photo and I had the names but did I didn't know which names went with which person. I didn't realize that Burton (my ggfather) had a second wife. I would be extremely grateful for any information that you find regarding my Sherley ancestry. I did find Oscar Sherley listed as "Osker" (22 years old) in the 1910 Census for Oklahoma, Adair county, Wauhillau township. This census entry shows Burton living with Oscar in 1910. It also shows that Burton (52 years old in 1910) was born in Missouri and that his father was born in Tennessee and that his mother was born in N. Carolina.
Thanks, Tom. (tshrly@swbell.net)
