    Notes:

    Orderly Sgt. Co. B 2nd Tn. Cav.

    Mentioned in Richard Shields Will.

    Entry in deed book: "Husband and wife convey interest to Robert L. Shields at Bird Creek for $100".

    John is probably John Porter son of Richard Shield's second wife and her first husband. The census lists as Shields but the order indicates a logical break in the family relation.
