1. James Shirley Birth: in Marsh
Gibbon, Bucks., England Death: 1814 in Marsh Gibbon, Bucks.,
England
1814 - James Shirley of Marsh Gibbon, labourer, will proved
May 14, 1814. I give unto my son Joseph Shirley all that my cottage
now in tenaments situate in Marsh Gibbon, one in my occupation,
the other in the tenure of John Roberts, with all gardens (etc)
for all the term estate and interest therein. I give unto my
son Thomas Shirley one shilling. I give unto my son James Shirley
one shilling. I give unto my son William Shirley one shilling.
I give unto my said son Joseph Shirley all my household goods
and furniture chattles and personal estate and effects. appoint
my said son Joseph Shirley sole executor. 6 November 1810.

have been 66 at time of mention in his father's will. Is Joseph
Shirley (see next lineage) the correct generation for sons mentioned
in the above 1810 will of father James Shirley?
