2(viii). Lawrence Vance Shirley
born about 1784, Frederick County, Virginia. Lawrence Shirley
sold the 50 acres of land he "became entitled to under the
last Will and Testament of his deceased father Walter Shirley."
The Deed is dated April 6, 1808, and describes Lawrence as "now
of the County of Ross in the State of Ohio" (Deed Book 7,
Page 515). He was paid the sum of $575.00 for the property.
In a second Deed dated February 16, 1812, it appears that the
same property [50 acres] is again sold to the same individual
(Mangus Tate) for the same amount ($575.00) This Deed appears
at an earlier page in the Deed Book(108), but was made at a date
later than the first. A possible explanation for there being
are two Deeds for the same property may lay in the fact that
the earlier one was between Lawrence Shirley and Mangus Tate
alone, and was not recorded until May 24, 1813. Evidently in
order to be binding at the time of recording a wife must also
be named in the Deed. Lawrence and Elizabeth Haynes were married
on May 25, 1808, after the first deed was executed, but well
before it was recorded. Thus the second Deed is between
"Lawrence Shirley and Elizabeth his wife" and Mangus
Tate. As noted in the Deeds above, Lawrence Shirley and his wife
were residing in Ross County, Ohio, before 1808. On May 1, 1813,
Lawrence volunteered for service with a Rifle Company of the
Ohio Militia, commanded by Joseph Chew. A portion of his
application for a War of 1812 Bounty Land Grant dated April 5,
1851, reads as follows:
"...he served in this enlistment about one month,
and that he was honorably disbanded, and that neither he nor
the rest of the company received a written discharge...afterwards
enlisted in the Quarter Masters Department at Franklinton on
the Scioto River sometime in the Month of June, AD 1813...for
a term of three months, and continued in actual service nearly
the full term, being released and allowed to return home a few
day before the expiration of his service account of sickness
in his family." He was released at Basher Mills, North
Fork of Paint Creek, Ohio. At the date of this application
he is shown to be "..aged 66 years, a resident of Middleport,
County of Iroquois and State of Illinois."
Lawrence was still attempting to obtain his war Bounty Land
Grant on June 11, 1855, and at that time was residing in Miami
County, Indiana. He lived in Pickaway Co OH in 1820 census.

the Lawrence Vance Shirley family DNA, so this looks good - but
would like documentary evidence if someone has it.
