in Tregaron, Cardinganshire, Wales in 1709.
Many of them were Baptized in this beautiful
church, still nestled in this tiny community.
Before this date is was SELBY.
The SHELBYs arrived in Pennsylvania by 1735,
purchasing land in Lancaster Co, PA They had a daughter
Mary Baptized in the Christ Church in Philadelphia
in 1735. By 1739 they were in Maryland.
Evan SHELBY and his wife, Catherine MORGAN
are the ancestors of many of the known SHELBYs in the
USA. But have also discovered branches in
Ireland that settled in various parts of Ohio in the early to late 1800s.
