      My ancestors-emigrants from Wales-were in Lancaster co. 1735; then a son (Rees & Mary Shelby) were in Cumberland County PA by 1750 living in Little Cove. This is a beautiful Little Cove today and I wish I were there again...looking for kinfolks. His parents Evan & Catherine Shelby, siblings: Evan jr., John, Moses, Rachel, Elinor, David, Mary born in America married Adam Alexander ..
      most siblings moved on...Rees & Mary's son Evan married c1760s (not known) and stayed in Little Cove until he remarried to Mary Harrod Newland, widow of Adam. Several lived in Washington Co. PA. in second marriage was a Laurener Newland who married Jesse Pigman Jr of Cumberland Co. PA...etc.
