bullet  Notes:

Certain of James Shiles (born c1815/18) being parent of Jesse (born 1846) but not sure of James' father being James Shiles (born c1796). The elder James Shiles, though appears to be the only candidate in the 1830 census to have had a child the age of James Shiles born in 1815/18. NOTE that many genealogies try and link this James to Eli Shiles as father and it doesn't work! This James Shiles moved to Wabash Co., IN between 1864 and 1866.
