I'm looking for the parents & siblings of Christian Napolean Shires who appears in the 1810 Rowan County, NC census. Family lore has it that C. N. Shires was born in Rowan Co., NC abt. 1771.

He married Sarah Sears (b. 1781), daughter of Christian Sears & Barbara Stutzman, and had children:
Christian Napoleon Shires
Elizabeth
James
David b. 23 JAN 1802 in North Carolina
Jacob b. 11 JUN 1806 in North Carolina
Joel b. 13 OCT 1818 in Tennessee
Peter b. bet. 1810 - 1820
John P. b: BET. 1820 - 1825
Solomon 1822 in Tennessee
Benjamin Franklin b: 1825

A Christian Shier appears in the 1820 Wayne County, Kentucky census. This may or may not be him.

Christian Napoleon Shires & family migrated to Tennessee & are listed in the 1830 Maury County, Tennessee, 1840 & 1850 Marshall County, TN censuses.

Any additional information is appreciated.

Many thanks,
Melissa Speed
