NOTE.—On pages 24, 29, for George E. Van Siclen read George W. Van
Siclen. In transmitting her valuable paper on “The Irish Settlers of
Pelham, Mass.,” Miss Linehan of Hartford, Conn., writes relative to
Shays’ Rebellion: “Daniel Shea,” the acknowledged leader, had his
name spelled in various ways. In American histories it is spelled
“Shays.” The writers of these histories have evidently never taken
very great pains to look up this Irishman. I find that the name is
spelled Shea, Sheas, Sha, Shays, Shay, also Shess and Shass.
Spelling in his day was, very evidently, phonetic. As he is said to
have come from Cork, Ireland, I have no doubt whatever but that he
originally spelled his name as they do in that country to-day,—Shea.
In a receipt given before the war he spells the name “Shea.” In a
note given after the war he spells his name “Shays.” My authority,
outside of the receipt and note are the town records of Pelham,
Mass., where the various spelling of the name is given. The
correspondence between him and Gen. Lincoln, 1787, may be found in
the Massachusetts Archives, State House, Boston, Mass.
