• 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. ---------- Reference: "Shields Family", Christine B. Brown, 6 February 1980, p 79, 81, 97. "Sevier County, Tennessee and Its Heritage", 1994, p 339.
