Another name: Shehorn

[rheanna]

Hello, it has been a while since my last response... I am almost ready to share my complete genealogy info but I have just a couple of gaps to fill yet. One being this...
My gggg grandfather, Benjamin Jones b. 1788 married Winifred Shehorn b. 1792 (both of Greenville Co. VA.). I cannot find any info on the name Shehorn and was wondering if anyone had any info. Was that a name also associated with the Saponi?
Thank you,
Rheanna

You might try the spelling Sehorn or Seahorn, that was a silversmith in Bedford Co. TN in the early 19th century I think. I don't know anything about the background of his family.
