Cyrus Josiah DeShields/Dashiell/Dayshiell
Would like to correspond with the family of Cyrus Josiah DeShields.Josiah was the son of Joel and Charity DeShields who were born in South Carolina 1782 and 1777-1779. I believe they lived there until about 1815 when they came to Tennessee, possibly to what became Coffee County but Close to Beechgrove, Tennessee.Josiah worked as a farm laborer for probably French Rayburn and Hans Croslin.Part of the family left about 1835-1840 headed for Oregon.Josiah's family stayed in Tennessee and settled in Montgomery Co., Tn and some in Indiana.
Please feel free to contact me, I have info to share.
