Thank you for your reply. I have subsequently found James Dallas Shirah's parents to be Mary Tyson (1845-1905) and James Magnus Shirer (1858-1894). James Magnus Shirer's parents were Aaron Shirer (1821-1865 approximately) and Mary Zeagler (1826-1890). I am now diligently pursuing the parents of Aaron Shirer.
Any info on that?
