My aunt told me that we have an Isaac Shirley that was the
first of our line to come to America. I don't have a date. All
I know is that he's related to the following line (at some point).
James B. Shirley (married to Orpha Vincent) 1830
John M. Shirley (married to Texanna Scott) 1858
Homer Harrison Shirley (married to Trudy Jones) 1892
Glenn Eugene Shirley (married to Juanita Jeanette Campbell) 1921
Doyle Eugene Shirley 1947
April Lynn Shirley Hutson (Me). 1970
Can anyone help?

More information received today:
Issac Shirley was the second son of an English Nobleman. He
wasn't in line for the title or lands, so he left England for
America.Sometime in the 1800's. He came to North Carolina or
South Carolina and setteled on some land. It must have been North
Carolina because he married an Indian named Molly or Minnie Beaver.They
had several children.At least one of those sons must have settled
in Blount County, Tennessee.
I'm not sure if that helps anyone in finding him. ???
Any help is greatly appreciated.
