children
1(i). Meredith Shirley
born about 1790 likely in South Carolina; He died about
1863 York Co. SC, Meredith Shurley
taught school in a log cabin in the 1840s in the Gold Hill area
of Fort Mill township. It was said he required as strict obedience
of the adults as he did of the children he taught. His primary
textbooks were the Blueback Speller and Pike's Arithmetic. In
1860 Meredith Shurley (b c 1790) was living as a member of the
Ware household and was listed in the U.S. Census as a teacher,
aged 70 years.
Master of Arts thesis, "Cultural
Factors in the History of York County" by Eula B. Thomasson,
Winthrop College, June 1937 - Hickory Grove under Meredith Shurley
may have been the first in the county to offer military instruction.)
In 1848 Meredith Shurley taught school near the residence of
G. C. Leach, Esq. Many grown men and women were pupils. The Berrys,
Leaches, Hemphills, McKinstrys and Whitesides were the most loyal
patrons of the school. For a week before the closing of the school,
Mr. Shurley drilled his pupils in their studies thoroughly. The
boys were put through a military drill. And the teacher was noted
for his interest in the hygenic welfare of his pupils. The last
day of his school in 1848, he drilled the boys for two hours,
despite the fact that it was raining. They used sticks for guns.
Anyone who failed properly to perform his duty in ranks was taken
out and drilled in an "awkward squad". Spelling matches
were popular, and tickets were given out each evening to those
standing at the head of the class. These tickets were kept and
counted before the patrons and trustees at the end of each term
(a term was one-fourth of the time agreed to teach - usually
twelve months). Mr. Shurley boarded among the pupils. The pupils
were proud to have him in their homes, and many times arguments
and perhaps feelings arose between pupils as to who had the right
to his company. In 1849 Mr. Shurley taught school in a log cabin,
built for that purpose, about one-fourth of a mile from Hickory
Grove. He followed the old method of conducting his school. He
would take up school as soon as pupils could get there in the
mornings, and many evenings he did not dismiss the pupils until
the sun went down. In his day he was a first-class teacher. He
was a splendid penman. The Bible, Webster's Spelling Book, Walker's
Dictionary, Pike's and Smiley's Arithmetics were the principle
text books used in his school. Mr. Shurley was good at promised
whippings, many of which he never gave, but when he did, it was
well done. His method of teaching spelling and reading was for
all the pupils to spell or read aloud in learning the lessons.
He often had as many as forty pupils on the floor spelling at
the same time. Frequently a bench ten feet long was crowded with
bare-footed boys, all swinging their feet and swaying their heads,
and spelling at the top of their voices. The old man, when he
had a chance to be heard, would say, 'Hurrah! boys; that's the
way.' Then they would all begin again joined by as many more.

children
2(i). John Rooker Shirley born November 1818;
He was operating a school with many scholars in Fairfield Co
SC in 1850 census; He died March 15, 1863, York District, SC.;
buried Ebenezer Presbyterian Church Cem. Rock Hill York Co
He was doubtless
named for the Rev. John Rooker, founding pastor of the Flint
Hill Baptist Church, located north of what is now Fort Mill and
very near the North Carolina State line. if the name "John
Rooker" came from the Baptist pastor, then the likelihood
is that some of the early Shurleys in York County were of the
Baptist faith. John Rooker Shurley ... was a renowned teacher
and school principal in both Fairfield and York districts. He
founded the Shurley Institute at Winnsboro and then moved it
to Ebenezer, where he was the principal of the Ebenezer Academy
until his death. The latter school was often referred to as "the
Athens of York."

Ann Leitner on 8 December 1847

Ann Fewell on 4 August 1852.

children by Mary Ann Leitner
3(i). Leitner Shirley born 11 November 1848;
age 11 in 1860 census; He died before 1 August 1903
As a young man
he went to live in Brazil with his Leitner cousins who had fled
the South following the Civil War. He did not remain there for
any length of time and returned to the United States with Cephas
J. and Matilda (Rives) Kee, natives of Chester District, S.C.
He followed in
his father's footsteps and conducted several well-known schools
in South Carolina. He was at one time principal of the Ebenezer
Academy. Later he removed to Lancaster County, S.C. where he
operated an excellent school for many years. He called the school
Carolina Academy for it was close to the North Carolina line
and many of his pupils lived in Mecklenburg's Providence community.
Lancaster Ledger,
1 Aug 1903. - The handsome
monument erected at Pleasant Valley church to the memory of Prof.
Leitner Shurley, by his former pupils, will be unveiled with
impressive ceremonies next Thursday. Capt. W. E. Ardrey of Fort
Mill, will act as master of ceremonies, and will make the introductory
speech. Mr. Thomas F. McDow of Yorkville; Mr. Victor S. Bryant
of Durham, N.C. and Mr. James a Bell of Charlotte, all former
pupils of Mr. Shurley, will make addresses appropriate to the
occasion. Mr. Shurley, who spent several years of his life in
South America, was one of the most successful teachers this country
has ever known. He was remarkable for the thoroughness with which
he prepared boys for college. He taught at a private school at
Pleasant Valley for a number of years, which drew a large patronage
from North Carolina, as well as from different parts of this
state. He was idolized by his pupils.
