Not To Overwhelm You

I thought I would share a little bit of fame or I should say past fame. I’m descent of Belle Starr.
My great grand dad Charles Shirley and Belle Starr was first cousin. To the best of my knowledge her and I would be 4th cousin once remove.
There a lot of unanswer question about the Shirley family. My great grand dad we know was born in Indiana, Pennsylvania.
And I was told that he didn’t get a long with his dad and used the Shirley name after some old maid aunt of his.
I understand that his father last name is something like Conklin. I got a copy of his death certificate he died of appendix attack and listed his last name as Shirley.
I tried to find a birth record of him and no luck.
