  	David Mears and W.B. Finney were the securities on the M.L.B. of John Mears of Shardock and Sally "Gray" of John. Another record shows John Mears of Shadrock married Sally "Guy" on 4 Jun 1847. Her death records show her as the daughter of John and Betsy Guy. (NOTE: Sally Guy was his wife's niece, who he named in his will. Since her father died when whe was young and since his first wife Scarburgh and he had no children they may have raised his niece, which would explain why he left his niece the balance of his estate after his wife Scarburgh died.)
