Hi, My name is Johanna Shortle, the spelling may have changed when my grandfather james Shortall came to this country from Ireland.
The story is that James Shortle came from Ireland as a young boy, his parents (unknown) were killed in a fire, he then went to live with the Raker family (relatives?) in St. Louis, MO. later in life to go to Texas and become a cowboy only to end up in Ohio and marry Johanna Pestel and have 2 sons named William and Robert.
Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
