    - Jeremiah Shelly married Jane Campbell, daughter of Alexander Campbell? [sic - ? in the text]
    - 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.

The Harman - Harmon, Shelly - Shelley dynasty: families of Tennessee and Kentucky ; a record of Jacob Harman who settled in Knox County, Kentucky prior to 1808 and died in Whitley County (part of Knox County), Kentucky in 1824 ; and Jeremiah Shelly who settled in Jefferson County, Tennessee about 1790 and died Jefferson County, Tennessee in 1803.

    Harman notes that a Jane Shelly was listed as a child and heir of John Benson in his will of 17 Sep 1793 in Guildford County, North Carolina, where Jeremiah Shelly was from. Like other researchers, she has not tried to resolve the possible conflict over Jane's maiden name.
