John Sheely, was born on the farm now owned by David Oyster in 1781. He was married to Elizabeth Cromlich, probably in 1804, as the first child, Andrew, was born in 1806; the other children were Frederick, Barbara, Elizabeth, John, Benjamin, Samuel, Susan, Annie and Catharine. About the time of his marriage John Sheely's father, Andrew Sheely, purchased and presented him with the fine farm on which his grandson now resides, and on which all his brothers and sisters were born. The Sheelys were all men of herculean frame, and have been noted agriculturists from the date of their coming, and have been very prosperous, each of the brothers now residing in the county counting their wealth by the thousands.
