It looks like, according to Ancestry, that Cyrus was born in PA in 1836-37. The 1920 census lists him in Redlands, CA. This Cyrus is listed as a widow in 1920; his wifes name was Mary. There is another Cyrus who lived in Heuneme/Ventura CA in 1900; his wifes name was Sarah and he was born May 1936. No children listed for either. I am not finding the Cyrus in Pima Country. I did, however, find a Charles Shellenberger born Nov 1864 who lived in Prescott in 1900. He was a boarder in someone else's house. I did find a Clyde Shellenberger from Pima County; born 1885 in PA, lived with wife Jane in Pima County per 1910 census. (Jane was born in Ireland). I found another Clyde O. SHellenberger born in Missouri in 1897, died in Colorado Springs in 1937--no indication that he lived in AZ. He has family to this day in Colorado Springs. This Clyde had three daughters though, so none of their last names would be Shellenberger, thus their children would not be Shellenbergers (the last name). Clyde also only had a 1/2 sister, when she married she became McKane, and moved to OK. It looks like Clydes family progression was PA to IL to MO, MO to CO. There is another Shellenberger family from PA that went straight to CO; Charles Nell Shellenberger. He only had one son, one daughter; his son only had a daughter---end of name line there. Charles father, Henry, had lots of siblings but they either did in childhood, had no children, or were girls who did not carry on the family name. They also all remained in PA.
There was a Chesley and Jeanette Shellenberger who came from Colorado Springs to AZ, but they continued on to and died in Alameda, CA. No children listed.
James Shellenberger from Nebraska died in Prescott, AZ in 1920, but it appears he moved to AZ when he was older, no children followed.
Oh--I found Cyrus Shellenbergers info: No birthdate or place, but lived in Michigan as of 1900 census. He lived in Tucson as of his death in 1977; no children listed--his wife was Josephine (no maiden name). His parents were born and died in Michigan, so he must have also been born there. All of Cyrus' siblings died in Michigan. His grandfather was from PA.
I am not finding a connection from Donald to any of these people with the two L's.
With one L I only find three things: Two are Donalds address info for Tucson; the third is for a J. A. Shelenberger from Nebraska, born 1866, who in Miller Valley, Yavapai, AZ in 1920. He was a widow, and was in jail--he is listed as an inmate. No other family info except that his father was from Iowa. That is the ONLY info I am finding for Shelenbergers and AZ. I do not even see Mark Shelenberger listed in Ancestry for AZ; just a Shellenberger, so I really think Shellenberger is the correct spelling for Mark, but not for Donald.
