Louisville, KY, copyright 1939.</font></p><p><font face="Arial">On December 13, 1800 the State Legislature of Kentucky passed&nbsp; an act creating a new county to be named Wayne in honor of General Anthony Wayne, Revelutionaryhero. The new county was formed from parts of Pulaski and Cumberland counties. This History was written by Augusta Phillips Johnson from bits and pieces of information provided&nbsp;to her through letters, Bible records, newspaper articles and family stories. </font></p><p><font face="Arial">Pages 235-237:&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot; When Cromwell disbanded his famouns Ironsides, he settled them on the confiscated estates in Northern Ireland. among them were the Shearers, whom we are unable to trace by name throughout the first two generations. They were English Puritians and Presbyterians. They preserve thier identities and traditions to this day, with but little admixture of Scotch-Irish blood on the one hand or Celtic blood on the other. All were first Prespyterians and old line Whigs, in this country, and all seemed to need or care for a stmulant.</font></p><p><font face="Arial">Sometine before the Revolutionary War , about 1740, four brothers of this Puritan stock came to America with their families from the County of Amgh and Province of Ulster, Ireland [this is the county&nbsp;where from where my great,&nbsp;great&nbsp;grandma, Bridget Keenan wrote her letters of thanks. WSB] Their names were 1. George; 2. John; William 1; and James. One settled in New York,&nbsp;two in Pennsylvania and one in&nbsp;South Carolina. The South Carolina Branch of</font><font face="Arial">&nbsp;the family are traceable throughout North Carolina , Kentucky, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska, and the other branches and their families are found in almost every state in the Union. Wherever found they preserve their traditions --- personal, social and religious, and their phyical characteristics, gait and features are easily recognized. &nbsp;These Shearers are not to be confounded with the German Lutherans of about the same name ___ Scherer, Schearer, and Sherer, of whom there are a great number in this Country.</font></p><p><font face="Arial">One of these brothers was the father of William Shearer II who married in Sout Carolina and was the father of William Shearer III. This was the William Christian Shearer III, our ancestor, born about 1760, North Carolina, died about 1830 in Wayne Co. Kentucky, buried at Bethesda Churchyard. William Christian Shearer III was married twice&nbsp;in North Carolina . &quot;first wife Hanna Hoover&quot;, buried in Ashe Co. North Carolina, her children were: Daniel , Jacob, Henry, Sallie, Mary and David. The second wife (from whom J.B. Shearer of Emmerson, Nebraska descended) was a German Hessian, Named Sallie Walters. Her children were:&nbsp; Susan, Jane, Hannah, Soloman, Walter, Margaret, Catherine, William, Hester, Elizabeth and Nancy. </font></p><p><font face="Arial">This William Christian Shearer was one of the early settlers of Wayne County, came about 1812. John Shearer&#39;s family in Monticello are descended from Jacob of the first family (Hannah&#39;s Children). The others from Daniel whose wife was Margaret Vickery, their children bring, Violet Rotten, Polly Huffaker, Adam N., Margaret Huffaker, Rebecca Hicks, Caroline Rankin,&nbsp;Sally Hicks-Marshall, Louisa Simpson, J. Jenkins, Frank, Broyles. </font></p><p><font face="Arial">J.Jenks Shearer married Zeerelda, daughter of Samuel Ingram and Elizabeth Parmley.

The first Robert Shearer in 1790 lived on the hill above the present site of Three Forks Church, and it was in&nbsp;his home that the church was constituted. Robert&#39;s grandfather is said to have lived just below the dam of the A.T.&nbsp; School on New River. &quot; In October 1805 a plan was drawn up for a roof for the Meeting House and &quot;In the following December four dollars in Brother Shearer&#39;s hands were spent for nails for the roof.&quot; On November 3, 1866 Robert Shearer, Eli Brown and Ransom Hayes were appointed commissioners to build a new church.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Comment: This is the only mention I&#39;ve found so far for&nbsp;a Robert Shearer, other than in census records.

William Smith opened the farms now occupied by J, R. Thompson, as eqarly as 1830. Smith was an important man in the early settlement of that neighborhood, but no trace of his descendants is to be found here now. In the same neighborhood, and probably earlier in point of time, was a Mr. Lander. Then, too, we hear of MR. SHEARER in this neighborhood at a very early date. Among the early settlers in this part, Mr. Pogue was farther west: he was near the county line. Down along the creek was Mr. Brewer, and close to the present site of old Conkey Town was Stephen Crane, Thomas W. and&nbsp;JOHN Q.&nbsp;(Quincy) DEAKIN came in 1835.
