James, My Shelly Ancestors, Jacob & Judith Shelly & Children, came to Fountain Co., Indiana from Pa., between 1850 & 1860. By 1860 Jacob was 54, Judith was 50, they had several grown children by then. I descend from one there sons George born in 1844. George Married and moved around in Indiana and Illinois. I don't know what happened to the other children. William is a family name, Judith Keener Shellys' Fathers name was William Keener. I believe Jacob and Judith belonged to the United Brethren Church. Jacob had been a Sawyer in his younger years, some of his sons did the same work. They may have moved around for work. This could be your Shelly family. I don't have records of any of the children but George. If your William Dial Shelly was from this family, he would be a Grandson of Jacob and Judith.
