This is a unique spelling, and I used to think someone had misspelled it.....but on the 1790 census there is a Wm Sherely and T (I believe it's Thomas) Sherely in Spartanburg SC. If anyone has any information on these people I would love to hear from you!! And you can view the info I have on the decendants of John Sherely Wood at
