Vera,
The following info from various sources should be of interest to you;
1)From Putnam County Ga Marriages;
Odom B. B. - Sallie Driskell, July 31, 1855
Sherling, Isam W. - Mary Odum, May 14, 1827
2)From the Butts County Ga Tax List, 1828;
William B. Shirling
Richard Shirling
John Shirling
3)From a letter written by Mrs Trudie Holoman, 2-1-1957;
"In marriages-Ga.
Winborne Odom m. Mary Bennett, Murfreesboro, Hertsford Co N.C. to Ga 1817 he died 1827 (he must have married into Shirling family or else why the Winborn O. Shirling in Isom Shierling's bible?)"
4)Last saturday I visited the Ga State Archives and found a claim filed by Richard Shurling for lost property due to Indian depredations.The claim was filed July 22, 1835 for losses that occurred in 1793.The claim was disapproved due to the great delay in submission, plus the appearance thatnumbers were changed in the claim.I will post the entire document her as soon as I can complete the transciption, but the following extract may be germain to your current quest;
