Burial Notes:
The cited source notes there is a William Shelton Farris buried on the Tim Shipley farm on the south side of Rt. 685. However, the dates on the tombstone are 11 Apr 1840 and 31 Dec 1912, which doesn't match the other family records for the subject. Census records for Barren County for 1910 show there were two persons named William Shelton Farris. However, the date of birth per the tombstone does not match the census record for the second William Shelton Farris either. Query who is buriied on Tim Shipley farm.
William married Sarah Ann SMITH on 13 Oct 1859.3 (Sarah Ann SMITH was born in 1840 in Kentucky 3 and died in 1914 3.)
