wiley drayton o'shields

false info dishonor my family never ever would i do this for wiley drayton o'shields is my great grandaddy. but when i started doing research family history. which i can back up what i say. you have bible records i think that is just great. because i also have bible records and if you do have then you know what your great grandaddy stated in the family bible about his family. and my great grandaddy stated in the family. what it is it is not dishonor but the dishonor is when we can't face facts or believe what they had to say. if you have bible records then you have already read what i'am going to post. the family bible was in the home of wiley drayton o'shields on the o'shields plantation. he lived on this plantation with his wife julia o'shields she was born 1826 one record and another 1827. and wiley drayton o'shields born 1832. and he died in 1882. julia died 1904. now we shall go to bible records my great grandaddy stated in the family bible that he was the son of -------- nancy o'shields he says nothing about his daddy we think we know but heres where we hit a brick wall. and that is right there is no proof of who his father was. did wiley know yes i think so but he never said. but i know that he knew his mother he lived with his mother. the family bible was place in the home of wiley george simpson o'shields. mr. o'shields was born the youngest son of wiley drayton o'shields. then the family bible was placed in the home of aunt myrtle after she died the family bible was placed in her daughters hand annie wilsons hand. i love my family and honor my family it is not a disgrace to face the truth.
