George Washington Short- (1830-1912) Died in Mississippi, Civil War veteran

Mary Short- (1832-

John Short Jr- (1836- Went to Mississippi, Civil War veteran

Minor JacKson Short- (1837-1930) Died in Union County, NC, Civil War veteran (my great grandfather)

Sarah Short- (1840

I am trying to find ancestors of both John and Nancy- can anyone help? Thanks
