Branch 8 - Mary Shirley and Mattie Jane Shirley
Mattie Jane Shirley (on the right) was born 1868 d. age 21 on the day she was to be married.
Mary Shirley on the left was born in 1818 on the Shirley farm in Kentucky and died there about 1900. She was highly respected and loved by all the family.
The story about the picture is, Mattie Jane wouldn't have her picture taken unless Mary sat with her. Mary wouldn't have her picture taken unless she wore the plumed hat Mattie's mother had given her.
