| Unfortunately, we have not been able to raise sufficient funds to date to erect the proposed monument. We are, however, installing very soon a roadside sign marking the location of the Maxey-Ferguson Cemetery in Spanishburg, WV, where Jeremiah Solesbury and his wife Mary (Clay) Solesbury are buried. Thank you for your message board posting. Also, please join us on Facebook -- just follow the link posted on the Solesbury Monument 2009 web site. | |

| Thanks for posting this page. I especially liked the photo of Jeremiah's gravestone. I put a blurb about your solesburymonument2009.org webpage on my Ancestry.com page.
I was also wondering how "Solesbury" got changed to "Shrewsbury." Any thoughts? -Lydia | |

| We are excited to be a part of this great family. Very interested in helping out and donating some funds. We visited the graves at Nubbins Ridge and would gladly volunteer in helping to clean up, i.e. garbage and rubbish removal (free of charge).
Our line comes from Jeremiah and Mary's son Thomas, who had a son named Jeremiah. His son John Burl (Birl) fathered a son by the name of Phillip Whitfield in 1893. Whitfield's youngest son is Roby R. Shrewsbury which is my father (Tina Shrewsbury Harrell). My two brothers Rondell R. and Jody A. Shrewsbury each have one child. Lindsey Shrewsbury and Justin A. Shrewsbury respectfully. Justin is the 8th direct bloodline to carry on Shrewsbury name. We (Tina Harrell, Jody Shrewsbury and Roby R. Shrewsbury) are looking for any information regarding John B. Shrewsbury B. July 1846 D. July 22, 1902 in Spencer, WV at a Mental State Hospital. No records or burial markers can be found. We wanted to see his grave, but our understanding is the graves were unmarked and possibly built over. The old hospital has long been torn down. Would love to talk to ANYBODY regarding ANYONE of this family. Tina Harrell 304-887-3996 flowerchildtwo_2000@yahoo.com Jody Shrewsbury 304-888-2708 joemissy@hotmail.com Roby R.

| Lois, I'm sorry I didn't make it, would have been great to meet everyone. I have been to the Monuments - took pictures and posted them on our yahoo group site. Your group has accomplished a great deal. It's your monuments that partly inspired us to do the monument at Knubbins Ridge Cemetary. Hope to meet you soon.

| Jo Ellen, I looked for you 6-21 at the Clay Reunion, we had a fairly good crowd it would have been a good opportunity for you to get the word out for your Solesbury/Shrewsbury Monument. We also went to see the Clay Monuments and this would have been a great opportunity for you to see what our group has accomplished and meet some of our dedicated members.
