About Eli C. Shelby

Eli C. Shelby was morn in Mecklenburg County, NC. and was 17 years old when he, his parents and most of his siblings moved from NC to TN. After marrying Rebecca, he and his (then small) family settled into the 7th (now 3rd) civil district of Hardin County. His farm there was near the settlement of Loweryville in the SE part of the shire. It borders White's Creek which was named for his father-in-law.


Eli's place of birth could be in either Anson or Meckl Co- as his parents are on the 1790 census in Anson, and in Meckl Co in time for the 1800 census.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Jul 3 2022, 17:55:54 UTC
