- The Will of Jeremiah Shelly dated 21 Sep 1797 names his wife, Jean, “my little son Nathan”, and two unnamed daughters. It is believed that they were Mary “Polly” Shelly b. 1787 married Jacob Harman b. 1785; and Elizabeth Shelly. Nathan Shelly b. 1790 married Mary “Polly” Meadors.
- Jean and the three children above are all mentioned in the will of Alexander Campbell dated 10 Aug 1810 and recorded in Will Book A, Knox Co., KY. Jacob Herman is also mentioned in this will.

↑ Assuming Elizabeth is living with her mother in 1810, the earliest she could have been born is about 1794. If she is mentioned in her father's will in 1797, then she would have to have been born before then.
