• Notes

  Ruth (Shiers) McPherson, wife of Daniel McPherson, was the daughter of John Shiers of Sawley, Yorkshire, England and Pennsylvania, a member of the Religious Society of Friends or Quakers. In 1715, John Shiers and his family came to Pennsylvania from England. Although many researchers apply the surname SHIRES to Ruth, it was clearly recorded in England and Pennsylvania Quaker records as SHIERS. Daniel and Ruth (Shiers) McPherson's children (probably among others) included: Ann "Nancy" McPherson married Nathaniel Carter; John McPherson married Mary Green, daughter of John and Abigail (Reeves/Rievs) Green; Mary Ann McPherson; Daniel McPherson, Jr. married Mary Richardson; William McPherson married Margaret Trego and Phoebe Passmore; Stephen McPherson married Mary Pyle; and Othniel McPherson.
