This will give you links to Tregaron, but can't say I have the old homestead pinpointed. There may not even be any land records to pinpoint it.

Thanks, Martha Dear Judy, Although I do not have my materials "out" right now, I was in Tregaron several years ago. I visited both the sites you mentioned, and my impression then was that there were two Shelby farms near Tregaron. The Derlyn one is now a modern farm, and there was an older farmhouse that has been torn down. We drove to this place by passing the footpath and getting to a road that led up to the farm. The lady who owns the farm with her husband was most cordial, but didn't know the history of the farm. It is certainly Derlyn and still carries that name. The other place at the meeting of the two rivers we could see, but did not have exact enough information to find the place. Derlyn is up on a hill looking down on the river, a beautiful setting and a prosperous farm. The other place lies in the valley, and there are quite a few houses in the area now. The man who owns Derlyn might be a good source of information about the farm if he was home -- I understood it had been in his family for some length of time. Nobody that we talked to had any recollection of the Shelbys. There is a bed and breadfast right near the turn off road that leads up to Derlyn -- Just past the bridge (which is old, but was nevertheless built after our family left Wales.) It turned out to be quite busy even in Tregaron in the summer time and also the fall. The area is remote and old fashioned. We heard quite a lot of Welsh spoken, and that was interesting.

Thanks for sharing your question! That is what this list is intended for. One of the disconcerting thing I'm finding, that while I certainly don't object to people using my data-or I wouldn't be sharing :-)) -I most certainly recognize my own research- despite how it is worded- They could at least use it correctly. I'm in the process of updating my Shelby home page, and adding more data..Will keep you all posted. So as a caution to all, be aware that any of the databases like World Family tree [ancestry.com, Gencircles.com, Ancestral file {LDS church], etc, etc, while good starting points..contain a lot of outdated Shelby info. Also my info is beginning to show up in these databases, with no credit given and/or quoted wrong. So anytime you come across Shelby data you are in doubt about..Post your question here-in hopes of stopping the errors before they get spread around..I don't of course have all the answers...but someone may have.... Judy June, whoever came up with the notion that Evan died in Wales? A PS while I'm at it...Many of the anti-spam software programs target the mail-lists-ours is being included now...as some of the messages are bouncing back to me, as being disabled. SO, if you find your favorite mail lists have suddenly stopped appearing-check how you are filtering your email's... Judy ========== Evan Shelby Sr died at his home, "Maidens Choice". He died Intestate, as sworn by his widow Catherine, and son Evan Shelby, as Administrators of his estate, on 18 Jul 1751. Inventories (1751-2) No. 48 T.A.S., page 332, at the Land Commissioner's office The Inventory of Evan's estate was not very large and didn't appear to be worth a whole lot, but shows he had several slaves. Sons, Moses & John, signed as the nearest kin & recorded 6 Aug 1751. James Davies and Isaac Baker signed as witnesses. The sale took place on 6 Sept 1751, to be held at the dwelling house of Evan Shelby lately deceased... From a few later notations, the sale did not cover all of Evan's debts, as by 1754 Catherine and son Evan were still being sued for his debts. It is unknown if Catherine remained on the home place and died there- Or if she went to live with one of her children. ================ I stumbled across these 'goodies' back in the '80s, while browsing the bookshelves in the library at Bowdain Collage in Brunswick, Maine...They had a couple of books that had been published on the records of The Ohio Company-interesting reading..history on this company is most likely available on the internet now -I haven't looked- Appendix D, p325 [book page]-19 Mar 1754-Frederick Co, MD: Docket: George Mason & The Ohio Company, sue Catherine & Evan Shelby [Jr], Adm's of Evan Shelby on a debt of 4 lbs 15 shillings- Item dated 3 Jul 1750.. p102 [book page]-Court Dockets show that Catherine & her son Evan Jr, were still trying to settle Evan Sr's Estate as late as 19 Mar 1754 in Frederick Co. "against Catherine and Evan Shelby for an old debt of the late Evan Shelby for L14..5 due since July 3, 1750" This is the last record I have found-to date- that mentions Catherine.
