My ancestor, David C. Shears at age 4, according to the 1850 Census, was living with a James Bosley in Hardy County WV. By 1860 I believe James had dies according to a will of his father's, Jacob.
I can not find David C. Shears' parents or birth record so I do not know if Bosley was his father if he had just been "taken in"
I am told that either his mother or grandmother was a Native American named "Shawnet" (This is probably a phonetic spelling. This aspect of his heritage is visibly apparent in photos I have of my great grandfather (his son).
I am wandering if any other Shears who know of David or his story. Or if anyone might have some ideas on how to find information about him.
