"My g-g-grandfather is Edward Sheels b England 1831/32.   He married
Margaret Johnson April 1856 in Shelby County, TN (Memphis area).   They were
in Tipton Co., TN (it borders Shelby Co. on the North) in 1860.    They had
a daughter, Sarah J., born Dec 1856;   this was the only child they ever
had.   Sarah is my g-grandmother.
  
Sarah married Andrew J. Curtis 1870.   At this time, the name changed to
SCALES.  Edward died between June 1870 and March 1872.   Margaret SCALES
remarried March 1872."  Sue Hill Leach
