Age 76.5.21 from St. John's Lutheran Church Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania and place of burial. Name listed as Reuben Shelly in church records, census records list Shelley. While the age listed in the church record is 76.5.21, it was brought to my attention by the below contributor that there is a baptism record from Christ Church in Stroudsburg that lists he was born 7.27.1826 and baptized 11.12. 1826.Therefore I have changed the birth date based on the baptism record.
Wife of Julia Felker.
Reuben Shelley is a brother to my g-g-grandfather, David Shelley- in the early years spelled Shelly, Schelly, Schellie, or Shellie. My dad did two DNA tests: a YDNA through familytreedna, and a broad DNA test through Ancestry. We match with many descendants of Reuben. His parents were Johannes (John) Shelly and Elizabeth Felker. We don't have confirmed death dates for either John or Elizabeth. There is a birth/baptism record for Reuben showing his birth date as July 27th, 1826. I know that conflicts with the record from St John's Lutheran Church.
