History of the Shuey Family in America, from 1732 to 1876 By Dennis Boeshore Shuey, pg. 135-139:

X. Adam Shuey

Was born September 21st, 1799, and was baptized on the 16th of November, 1799. He was brought up on the farm, his father moving from Lebanon county, Pa., to Montgomery county, Ohio, when he was but five years old. On the 5th of August, 1819, he married Hannah Aley, daughter of Isaac Aley, of Montgomery county, Ohio, but formerly of Washington county, Maryland. They had four children—three daughters and one son. One of these daughters died in infancy; the other children are Mary, Catharine and William J. They are all members of the United Brethren Church. Early in their married life they settled in Miamis- burg, Ohio, where for nineteen years their house was a house of prayer and worship, as well as a home for the weary itinerants of the United Brethren Church. In 1836 they settled near Lagonda, in the vicinity of Springfield, Ohio, where they found no religious organization. In 1843 they were the means of planting there a flourishing church and erecting a house of worship. In 1854 they moved to Dayton, Ohio, where they have since been living, and have been faithful members of the United Brethren Church at that place. During the last three years Mrs. Shuey was comparatively helpless, and during the last thirteen months she was confined to her bed. Death relieved her of her sufferings on the 21st of February, 1876. She died in peace at the age of 76 years, 10 months and 24 days. Mr. Shuey was very devoted to his life companion during her protracted sickness, and he keenly felt all her sufferings.

Mr. Shuey is an industrious man, and is highly respected by all who know him. He is of high standing in his community, and his acquaintances look upon him as being an excellent man and a perfect gentleman. At different times, municipal offices in Dayton were tendered him, and every time he was elected by large majorities, irrespective of party principles. He is of pleasant speech, and well entertains those with whom he converses. He is a devout Christian, and is firm in his religious principles.
