Don't think this is same as at your end.Believe this line of Shearer came to US just before 1870.I know this because first census they appear in is 1870 census.Believe they came into to PA not NY.The family didn't move into NY until 1920s.Great Grandfather worked in PA coal mines.
Are you in Scotland or England?I don't know of any from this line that fought in WWI although it is possible that some of Thomas' brothers or their kids did -- I am just not aware of anyone who did participate in WWI.None from Thomas' line to me did, I know that much.
