Surnames: Shears Chapman Shars Miller Fox Potts Pringle Cave Engle Bennett Malyon
Ruth - My family (Shears in Michigan) came from New York, and some of them also spelled the name Shars and Shares.
Any chance that your family and mine might be related?
I am researching the Jacob & Samantha (Chapman) Shears family who lived in Niagara Co. NY, then Canada, and then in Port Huron Co. Michigan. Their children included: Ann Shears (m. Isaac Miller, m. Nelson Fox); Lucinda Shears (m. Cyrus Pringle); Charles Reuben Shears (m. Kathryn Cave, m. Martha J. Unknown, m. Bessie Engle); John Shears; twins Theadore Shars (m. Maggie Unknown, m. Elizabeth Margaret Bennett); Theadosia Shears (m. Lewis Potts); Edward Shears; Sheldon Shears; and Leroy James Shears (m. Mary Elizabeth Malyon). There may also have been three other daughters.
