Scherer/Shearer, etc. Ohio/Indiana area
I have been researching the Shearer name for quite some time and the bricks walls keep popping up.Due to the re-spelling of the last name makes it difficult to be sure if I have the correct people.My ggramma was Grace Myrtle Shearer m. Guy Vernon McKinney in Valpraiso, Ind. her father was John Adam Shearer (Mother Ida Christine Johnson) his father was Jerimiah Jerome Shearer (not sure but think he just went by Jerome) and I believe he was married twice, one wife was Hannah ?.His parents were John & Elizabeth Kiefer Shearer.My ggramma wrote that her Uncle Walter was a political figure in Mississippi and had a plantation down there. Believe the parents of John to be Jacob and Elizabeth Deal/Diehl Shearer).My ggrandparents are buried in Granite City, Illinois.If anyone can help me with this lineage I would greatly appreciate it.
