John Henry Shirley was born on 17 Dec 1865 to Henry S. Shirley and Mary Jane Burress, who were married 25 Feb 1864. After Mary Jane Burress Shirley died, Henry took a second wife, Mary E. Richmond, on 14 July 1872, when John Henry Shirley was six years old. Marriage records are able to validate Henry S. Shirley's two marriages and because both of his spouses were named Mary there can be some attending confusion.
