Jacob Calvin Shire was my gr. gr. grandfather.His son Jason Eugene Shire was my great grandfather.I have Jacob Calvin's DOB as Jan 4, 1958 in Illinois.I have Emma Catherine Wade as his first wife. I'd be interested to know if it is supposed to be Emily or not. She was born in 1859 and died in 1905 at the age of 55.Jacob's second wife was Rosetta B. Eaton.They had no children.Jacob died Dec 30, 1915.Emma Catherine Wade is buried @ Paris, IL and Jacob is buried @ Wilkin Cemetery (Prairie Grove Southern Bapt Church) in Crawford County, IL.
Jacob's father was David B. Shire b Mar 12 1830 in eastern Pennsylvania.David B. died June 14 1914 in Hutsonville, IL.David's wife was Sarah Dershan or Durhan and that is all I know about her.They were married February 27 1853 in Darke COunty, Ohio.David and Sarah had four children, including Jacob Calvin.David was remarried to a Iva Ann Bowman Mar 4 1860 in Crawford County, IL.Together they had seven children.I also have information on David B. Shire's parents.Father was Jacob Shire b Jan 18, 1809 in Pennsylvania and d. Feb 9 1867 in Crawford County, IL.David B. Shire's mother was a Catherine Boyer.Jacob & Catherin Boyer wed Aug 20 1829 in Rapho Township in Lancaster County, PA.
That is all I can type for now.I hope this helps.E-mail me if you have any more questions.
