Introduction

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following documents are an attempt to get as many of the descendants of  Samuel Shipley and Keturah Sutton as I can in one place on the Web. It is a combination of  my research on my family line as well as a lot of other researchers that were generous enough to send me what information they have on their families.

Most of the information I have tried to verify, but I am sure that the document contains some mistakes. If anyone fines a mistake please let me know and I will correct it on my next upload. Also if anyone has any more information on our line please let me know and I will post it on the website.  

As is normal I have more information on my direct line than anything else. My family line is

Samuel Shipley, Christopher Shipley, Uriah Shipley, Sterling Davis Shipley, Calvin Ember Shipley, Samuel Charles Shipley and Calvin Isaac Shipley. 

I have tried to make sure that living descendants are not included. If one is please let me know and I will delete it.

 

This document is a Family Tree Maker Genealogy Report with all of the information I have on the entries. It is in Generation sequence (Page 1 is Generations 1-4 and page 2 is Generations 5-7) and does not contain an Index or Surname list. Your can search it with a “Control F” or just read it. I have also uploaded the same data in a file that has an index and Surname list but would not be as easy to read. Depending on what you are looking far it may be easier to use it. It is a selection item on my Shipley Family Page.

I hope you enjoy the site and if you would leave us a comment we would appreciate it

Generation No. 1

 

1.  SAMUEL¹ SHIPLEY was born Bet. 1750 - 1751 in Maryland, Annne Arundel or Baltimore Co., and died 25 Feb 1839 in Monroe Co. Kentucky.  He married KETURAH SUTTON 21 Oct 1784 in Saint James Parish Baltimore Co. Maryland, daughter of JOSEPH SUTTON and RUTH ADAMS.  She was born Abt. 1757 in Probably Baltimore Maryland.

 

Notes for SAMUEL SHIPLEY:

                My History of Samuel Shipley and Keturah Sutton

                Of Maryland, Tennessee and Kentucky

 

The following document is a summary of my research on Samuel Shipley and Keturah Sutton.

If you find any thing that needs to be changed, please to let me know.

 

Remember that parts of current Eastern Tennessee in the early years were also North Carolina, Virginia, Land South Of The Ohio River and part of it was called the Sauabble state because nobody could determine what belonged to what. When I state North Carolina/Tennessee it is just a lazy way of putting things.

 

I feel that I have tied Samuel Shipley and Keturah Sutton from their marriage in 1784 in Maryland to their move to Washington Co. North Carolina/Tennessee in late 1784 to Sullivan Co. Tennessee by 1793 to Knox Co. Tennessee in 1799 to Grainger Co. Tennessee in about 1809 to Barren Co. Kentucky in about

1811-1812. Monroe Co. Kentucky was created in 1820 from Barren Co.. Monroe Co. is where Samuel died in 1839. The main thing I tried to prove is that there was only one adult Samuel Shipley in Eastern Tennessee from 1784 to 1810. The only other Samuel was Richard’s son  born about 1785-87.

 

Most of my non-internet research came from visiting the following;

        State Archives in Nashville Tennessee.

        The East Tennessee Historical Center in Knoxville Tennessee.

        The  Barren Co. Kentucky Courthouse and  library.

        The  Monroe County Kentucky Courthouse and library.

        The  Allen Co. Kentucky  Courthouse and library and

        The Clayton Genealogical library in Houston Texas.

 

I live in Texas so it was a fun trip to Tennessee and Kentucky.   

               

Well here goes                                    

 

1750-52 Maryland. Samuel was born in either Anne-Arundle  or Baltimore Co. Maryland. We get his age from the following statement. Samuel stated in his Kentucky pension application in 1831 he was about 80 years old and served in the Maryland line from June 3rd 1778 to March 27th 1779  in the company commanded by Capt. Miles. This ties the Kentucky Samuel in 1831 back to this Maryland Samuel.

 

1752-1778 Maryland. I find nothing conclusive on Samuel during this period. There are several deed transactions and tax records but since there were three or more Samuels living in the area it could be anyone of them.

 

1778 Maryland, Baltimore Co.. Samuel signed the Oath of Allegiance. He stated that there were three people with the same name. I think it was him, Samuel Sr. (of Richard2 of Adam1)  and Samuel Sr.’s son Samuel Jr.

 

1778 Maryland, June 3rd 1778 until March 27th 1779. Samuel was in the Revolutionary War. He was a private in the Maryland Line. His company commander was Capt. Miles and his regiment commander was Colonel Williams. Samuel was discharged near Middlebrooks New Jersey. Samuel signed up for a three year term and I wonder why he was discharged after 9 months? I found several references in Maryland Historical documents about him being in the military.

 

1779 New Jersey, March 27th. Samuel was discharged from the military.

 

1783 Maryland. Tax records showed one Samuel living in Anne-Arundle Co. and another one in Baltimore Co.. Samuel Sr. died in 1780 so I think that one of the above, probably the one in Anne-Arundle was my Samuel and the other was Samuel Jr. of Samuel Sr. This is just a guess. My Samuel showed to own no property at that time.

 

1784 July 31st  Samuel bought 490 acres of land in Washington Co. North Carolina/Tennessee.

 

1784 October 21st  Samuel married Keturah Sutton daughter of Joseph Sutton. This was listed in the Saint James Parish, Baltimore Co. records.

 

1784 -1786  Samuel bought  200 more acres of land in Washington Co. North Carolina/Tennessee. The indenture date was left off the deed so the only date in the deed is where Samuel promised to pay off  the rest of the note by November 13th 1789. He paid taxes on both properties in 1787 so he must have bought it before 1787. The tax list showed two white poles. Edward Shipley and Adam Shipley were witnesses to the transaction. (brothers, cousins?)

 

                                                                Note

 

        It seems that Samuel bought land in Washington Co. North Carolina/Tennessee in 1784 and 1784-1786. He also paid taxes there in 1787. Samuel also got married in Maryland  in 1784 and has three children listed in Saint James Parish Register as born or baptized in 1785-86-88. I do not have an obvious answer to the above except the deeds are signed by Samuel and the Saint James records could have been submitted by Keturah’s father who was a member of the same Parish, or anyone else. If anyone can answer the above for sure I would appreciate it. As you will see later in the document there is a lot of evidence I believe showing that the above Samuel is the same person.

 

 

1785 North Carolina/Tennessee or Maryland. Samuel and Keturah had a son named Christopher Shipley as listed in the Saint James Parish Register in Baltimore Co. Maryland. He married Elizabeth Rutherford in 1811 in Knox Co. Tennessee. He is my direct line.

 

1786 North Carolina/Tennessee or Maryland. Samuel and Keturah had a son named Thomas as listed in the Saint James Parish Register in Baltimore Co. Maryland. He married Lucinda Edington in 1813 in Knox Co. Tennessee.

 

1787 North Carolina/Tennessee. Samuel paid taxes  on 700 acres of land. This was both   his 200 and 490 acres of land purchases combined. This tax list shows Samuel must have purchased the 200 acres of land before 1787. The list also showed two white poles.

 

 1788 North Carolina/Tennessee or Maryland. The Shipley’s of Maryland Book states that a Samuel Shipley was baptized on April 25th 1788.It states that his parents were Samuel and Keturah Shipley. This just happens to be the same date that the Saint James Parish register in Baltimore Co. Maryland lists as the birth date of Benjamin Shipley born to Samuel and Keturah Shipley. I think someone is wrong, probably the Shipley’s of Maryland Book. So far the above on young Samuel is all I have so I am not sure of anything on him or Benjamin.

 

 1788 North Carolina/Tennessee or Maryland. Samuel and ??????  had a son named Benjamin Shipley as listed in the Saint James Parish Register in Baltimore Co. Maryland. If my theory about Samuel moving to Washington Co. North Carolina/Tennessee in 1784 is correct then Benjamin would have been born in Tennessee. In the 1850 census in Sullivan Co. Tennessee I find a Benjamin Shipley married to Hannah. Benjamin showed to be born in 1788 in Tennessee. It is possible that this Benjamin could be Samuel and Keturah’s son .

 

1789 North Carolina/Tennessee. Samuel must have paid off the 200 acres of land he purchased and agreed to pay the balance in 1789  because he still had it in 1790.

 

1789 Samuel had jury duty in Washington Co. North Carolina/Tennessee

 

1790 Samuel had jury duty in Washington Co. North Carolina/Tennessee

 

1790 August 21st Samuel sold his two hundred acres of land in Washington Co. to Thomas Shipley. This transaction was witnessed by Edward and Adam Shipley. Now we have the three more Shipley’s connected again. (brothers cousins?)

 

1790-1793. I find no proof of where he lived, but one item may be a hint of where he might have been. In 1792 a law suit was filed against Samuel in Knox Co. Tennessee for non-payment of a debt. The document was very confusing  and almost unreadable. I do know the case was dismissed . It seemed that they could not find Samuel or something was improper on the document. Also the person who filed the suit was named Alexander Cavitt and he lived Sullivan Co. Tennessee. Alexander Cavitt also sold land to Conrad Shipley in Sullivan Co. (Shipley‘s ferry). I am not sure if Samuel lived in Knox Co. at that time or not.

 

1790-1791 Tennessee. Samuel and Keturah had a daughter named Ruth Shipley who later married Joshua Brown.

 

                                                                   Note

1790 Maryland Census. After all of this talk of three known Samuels in Baltimore or Anne-Arundle County  Maryland and one dying in 1780 leaving two and my Samuel moving to North Carolina/Tennessee leaving one. The 1790 Maryland Census shows two Samuels still living in Maryland each having teenage children. When you have no answer just ignore it and hope for the best..

 

1793  August 19th  Sullivan Co. Tennessee. Samuel  purchased 200 acres of land. It had a ferry on it and was on the Holsten River.

 

1795 Tennessee. Samuel and Keturah had a son named Reuben Shipley. He married Nancy Bailey.

 

1796 Samuel paid taxes on his 200 acres of land in Sullivan Co.

 

1797 Samuel paid taxes on his 200 acres of land in Sullivan Co.

 

1799 July 8th Knox Co. Tennessee.  Samuel purchased 300 acres of land on Roseberry Creek. The deed stated that the land was also know as The Privy Spring.  

 

1799 Tennessee, Sullivan Co. September 27th. Samuel sold his 200 acres of land to Phillip Snapp. The deed stated that Samuel was lately of Sullivan Co. He had just moved to Knox Co. Tennessee.

 

1799 Tennessee Samuel and Keturah had a daughter named  Keturah Shipley. She married Thomas Biggers later in Kentucky.

 

1801 Tennessee, Knox Co.. Samuel was sued for non-payment of a debt. He lost the case. One of many.  (Must be of my line)

 

1801-1802 Tennessee. Samuel and Keturah had a daughter named Prudence Shipley. She married Fleming Smith Page in Kentucky. This was after the death of Dorcus Shipley Page who married Fleming earlier.

 

1802 Tennessee, Knox Co.. Samuel was sued for non-payment of a debt. He also lost that case.

 

                                                                Note

 

1802 August 18th Samuel (the deed states Samuel Shipley of Knox Co. Tennessee) sold the 490 acres of property he purchased in Washington Co. North Carolina/Tennessee on July 31st 1784. He sold the land to an Edward Shipley of Grainger Co. Tennessee. This was probably the same Edward who witnessed his other Washington Co. Transactions.

This is an important find because it ties this Samuel from Washington Co. to Sullivan Co. to Knox Co.

The purchase was witnessed by N. Shipley (Probably Nathan the possible son of Benjamin Shipley and Kitty Hawks). Was he a younger brother of Samuel, Edward, Adam and Thomas???

 

1803 Tennessee, Knox Co.. Samuel paid taxes on his Roseberry Creek property.

 

1803 Tennessee, Knox Co.. Samuel is sued for non-payment of a debt. As usual he lost the suit. The guy had no luck.

 

1803 Tennessee, Knox Co.. Samuel and Keturah had a daughter named Dorcus S. Shipley. She married Fleming S. Page in Kentucky.

 

1804 Tennessee Knox Co.. Samuel paid taxes on his Roseberry Creek property.

 

1804 Tennessee, Knox Co.. Samuel was sued for non-payment of a debt. He lost again!! I would change lawyers!

 

1805 Tennessee, Knox Co. January 18th   Samuel sold his Roseberry Creek property. This is the last time I find Samuel owning property anywhere. He was about 55 years old and I thought it was strange.

 

1806 Tennessee Knox Co.. Samuel was sued for  non-payment of a debt. Same old story he lost.

 

1806 Tennessee Knox Co.. Samuel and Keturah had their last child Asa Shipley. He married Rosannah Bean in Washington Co. Tennessee.

 

1809 Tennessee Grainger Co.. Can you believe it Samuel sued a William Robertson  for something. Of course he lost the case. The guy just cannot catch a break.

 

1810 Tennessee Grainger Co.. Surprise William Robertson sued Samuel and as usual Samuel lost the case.

 

1810 Tennessee Knox Co.. Samuel and his son Christopher were sued for non-payment of a debt. Is it like father like son. Neither one showed up for the hearing so of course they lost the case. I think Samuel was in Grainger Co., but Christopher married Elizabeth  Rutherford in 1811 in Knox Co.. so he must have still been there.

 

                                                                Note

The above law suit places Samuel with his son Christopher in 1810. Also in 1821 Christopher and his brother Thomas are involved in a lawsuit in Knox Co. Tennessee. I believe between the two lawsuits and the two sons marriage in Knox Co. in 1811 and 1813 show that they are part of Samuels and Keturah’s family.  I find no other Shipley’s listed in Knox Co. Tennessee earlier or later.                           

 

1813 Kentucky, Barren Co.. Samuel paid taxes but did not show to own land.

 

                                                                Note

        It seems strange that Samuel would leave Tennessee where he had two or more adult children and move to Kentucky with at least four minor children unless he had relatives in Barren Co. Kentucky. There was a small group of Shipley’s  living in Barren Co. at the time. They were Robert Shipley Sr., Robert Shipley Jr., Joseph Shipley (maybe adult son of Samuel), Nathaniel Shipley, George Shipley and William Shipley. (sons, brothers or cousins?) I think there has to be a family connection there and I hope someone can prove it. I have not so far.

 

1814 Kentucky, Barren Co.. Samuel paid taxes but did not show to own land.

 

1817 Kentucky,  Barren Co.. Samuel signed a document giving his son Joseph permission to act as his agent in the settlement of the estate of Joseph Sutton of Maryland.  Joseph Sutton was  Samuels’s wife Keturah’s  father.

 

1820 Kentucky Monroe Co. (Allen and Monroe Counties were formed from Barren Co. so the Shipley’s living there did not move, the county lines did.) Anyway Samuel showed up in the 1820 Monroe Co. census and still had 4 children living with him. They were Dorcus, Prudence, Keturah and Asa. His daughter Ruth Shipley Brown lived next door, or maybe Samuel and children were living with Joshua and Ruth Shipley Brown.

 

1821-1829 I find nothing on Samuel during these years. It may be because the Monroe Co. courthouse burned about 1860 and most documents were lost.  It could be that Samuel after his children were gone and his wife was dead moved back to where his brothers or other children lived. Samuel was between 70 and 78 years old. Maybe someday I will locate him.

 

1830 Kentucky ,Monroe Co.. Samuel paid taxes but did not show to own land.

 

1830 Kentucky, Monroe Co.. Samuel showed to be living with his son Reuben in the 1830 Monroe Co. Census.

 

                                                                Note

1831 Kentucky, Monroe Co.. Samuel applied for and began receiving pension benefits from the Revolutionary War. He stated he was the Samuel who served with  Capt. Miles in the Maryland line.

This document ties Samuel back to Baltimore Co. Maryland and with the other ties listed above I think it pretty well proves that all of the above Samuels are in fact one Samuel.

 

1831-1839 I have no information on Samuel. The Monroe Co. Courthouse burned about 1860 and most documents were lost. What a shame.

 

1839 Monroe Co. Kentucky. Samuel died at the age of about 89. This showed up in his pension history. He was the longest living person in my direct line.. According to the "Page Family History" the administrator to Samuels estate was Fleming Smith Page, husband of first Dorcus Shipley and after her death her sister Prudence Shipley. Both were daughters of Samuel.

    

Samuel and Keturah’s  children were as follows:

 

My Line-Christopher           B: 1785 NC/Tn.     D: 1839 McMinn co. Tennessee

        Thomas          B: 1786 NC/Tn.     D: Last reference is tax records Knox Co. Tennessee                                                                    1821

        Benjamin        B:1788  NC/Tn.     D: I have no information on him. Just a guess

        Ruth Brown                   B: 1790-91 Tn.       D: 1861 Arkansas

        Reuben                          B: 1795      Tn.       D: 1867 Illinois

        Keturah Biggers           B: 1799      Tn.       D: 1842-1850 Kentucky

        Prudence Page              B: 1801-02 Tn        D: 1864 Kentucky                

        Dorcus Page                 B: 1803      Tn.       D: 1842 Kentucky

        Asa                                 B: 1806      Tn        D:  1860-1870 Tennessee

        Joseph                 B:  ????       ??.                 D:  ?????  Referenced by Samuel in 1817 in Kentucky

        Samuel                                                           I have no information that he existed

        Susan                                                             I think Susan is actually Dorcus S. (Susan) Shipley,  no                                                                       proof.

        William                                                           I have no information that he existed.

 

Questions

                                               

Samuel married Keturah at the age of 34. That seems late for a first marriage. I think that Samuel was married before and that might account for several children that I can find no information on. It is just another guess with no proof.

 

I think that Joseph Shipley a son of Samuel  may have had a wife named Jean or Jane McCracken. If I am right then Joseph was born between 1765 and 1784 (1810 Barren Co. Kentucky Census one male 26-45) and he could not be Keturah’s son. This is just a guess and I hope someone has an answer on Joseph.

 

There was another Joseph in the Campbell Co. Kentucky 1850 census who would have been born in 1790, but he said he was born in Virginia. I cannot place where Samuel was during that time period so it is possible this Joseph was Samuel’s and Keturah’s.

 

Benjamin Shipley married to a Hannah living in Sullivan Co. Tennessee is a question mark. According to the 1850 census he was born in Tennessee in 1788. Since no one else claims him in their family line I wonder if he is Samuel and Keturah’s son. I still think that Samuel moved to Washington Co. North Carolina/Tennessee in about 1784 and had all of his children there.

 

Any comments you have or mistakes  that you  see would be helpful.

Notes for KETURAH SUTTON:

BIOGRAPHY

Daughter of Joseph Sutton b. 1726 Balt. Co. Md. (m - 5-1-1748 Balt.

Co. Md) and Ruth Adams of Md. their other children listed were Henry

b. 1756 & Thomas b. ?

 

As is normal with early females you normally find out very little about them.

 

       

Children of SAMUEL SHIPLEY and KETURAH SUTTON are:

                   i.    JOSEPH² SHIPLEY.

 

Notes for JOSEPH SHIPLEY:

Joseph is listed in a document filed in Barren Co. Kentucky by his father Samuel stating that his beloved son Joseph was to act as his attorney in the settlement of the death benefits of his wife Keturah's fathers estate in Maryland. Her father was named Joseph Sutton and the date on the document was dated Aug of 1816.

Byond the above document I have no proof that Joseph ever existed. Listed below is a couple of possibilities.

 

A Joseph Shipley showed up in the 1808 tax records of Barren Co. Kentucky.

 

A Joseph shows to be in the 1810 Barron Co Kentucky census. He and his wife show to be between 26

and 45 years of age, with one boy under 10 and 3 girls under 10. His wife would have been named Jane McCracken and they lived next door to her brother James McCracken.

 

In the 1820 census the above Joseph seems to have died . His wife Jane is listed along with several Children. Also this Joseph paid taxes on his property 1808 thru 1819 and then he disappears.

 

 1808 Joseph Shipley July 21 120 acres on Walnut Creek.

 1812 Joseph shipley and wife (Jean or Jane) joined Concord Baptist Church Barren Co. 1812-1819

 1814 Joseph Shipley in Benedict Co. tax District Barren Co.

 1815 Joseph was issued a land grant in 1815 for 200, but never paid taxes on more than 124 acres.

 1815 Joseph was taxed with no land in Allen Co. Kentucky

 1816 Joseph was taxe on 200 acres of land in Allen Co.

 1816 he paid taxes on 124 acres,

 1817 for 50 acres and Nathaniel Shipley paid taxes on 25 additional acres of Joseph's land. Allen Co

 1819 Joseph paid taxes on 45 acres and Nathaniel on 20 acres. Allen Co.

 1820 Jane his wife paid taxes on 50 acres and Nathaniel on the 25 acres. Allen Co.

 1822 Jane paid taxes on 40 acres and Nathaniel on 25 acres. Allen Co.

 1823 James (Probably Jane a misprint) paid taxes on 40 acres and Nathaniel on the 25 acres. Allen Co.

 1824 It was back to Jane and Nathaniel on 50 acres and 25 acres. Allen Co.

 

I do not think that this is the right Joseph, but who knows.

 

If this is the right Joseph and he is 26 or more and Samuel and Keturah were married in Mar.1784  and he was born in 1784 or earlier. It does not compute. Could Samuel have had an earlier wife?

 

A Joseph Shipley is in the Campbell Co. Ky 1850 census. In it he states he is 60 years old and was born in Va. I cannot place Samuel from 1790-1793 so he might have been in Virginia. The area that Samuel lived in in late 1793 was sometimes called the Squabble State because Tennessee, North Carolina

and Virginia claimed it for years. So it could be him.

 

 

 

                  ii.    SUSAN SHIPLEY, b. Kentucky; d. Kentucky.

 

Notes for SUSAN SHIPLEY:

I have found nothing on this Susan. I do know her brother Rueben named one of his children Susan so it could be her.  Samuel had a daughter named Dorcus S. Shipley. I think that this was Dorcus Susan

Shipley.

 

 

I have given her a birth and death place of Kentucky for map purposed

 

 

                 iii.    WILLIAM SHIPLEY, b. 1786, Anne Arundle Maryland.

 

Notes for WILLIAM SHIPLEY:

 

Everything is speculation on William. I have no proof that he ever existed. The Shipley's of Maryland book makes a mess of our Samuel and you cannot believe everything they say.

 

 

Ancestry,com listed the following

Mcguire, Hannah married Shipley, William on 13 Apr 1811 in Barren County, Kentucky.

 

Davidson, Rachel married Shipley, William on 19 Nov 1807 in Barren County, Kentucky.

compare the kids in an 1850 census and where they were born.

 

  

 

 

 

 

2.              iv.    CHRISTOPHER SHIPLEY, b. 14 Aug 1785, Washington Co. North Carolina/later Tennessee; d. 30 May 1830, McMinn Co. Tennessee.

                  v.    THOMAS SHIPLEY, b. 30 Dec 1786; m. LUCINDA EDINGTON, 1813, Knox Co. Tennessee.

 

Notes for THOMAS SHIPLEY:

Genforum-Debbie Jackson

Saint James Parish in Baltimore Co. Maryland lists Thomas as being born in Baltimore Co. Maryland and his parents were Samuel and Keturah Shipley.

 

Also the Shipleys of Maryland lists Thomas as being born December 30th 1786.

 

So far the only Thomas I find that fits our family is the one Marrying Lucinda Edington in 1813 in Knox Co. Tennessee.

 

I also found a newspaper clipping in the Knoxville Register in 1819 about a Thomas Shipley selling a one half acre lot in Knoxville.

 

I found where a Thomas Shipley died in Grainger Co. Tennessee in 1835. I havn't checked it out yet.

This Thomas was in the 1830 census also.

 A James Eddington was born in Knox Co. Tenessee 5027-1827. Maybe her family.

Their are a lot of Edingtons in Knox county about the time our family was there and so I think Something will showup soon

 

                 vi.    SAMUEL SHIPLEY, b. Abt. Sep 1788, Baltimore Co. Maryland; d. 1827, Maryland; m. Abt. 1815.

Notes for CHRISTOPHER SHIPLEY:

BIOGRAPHY

Christopher is the last of our direct line discussed in the Shipley's of Maryland Book (1938 Edition) and it only gives his parents name and his date of birth.

 

Saint James Parish Baltimore Co. Maryland Register from 1787 to 1815. The Register states that Shipley, Christopher, b. to Samuel and Keturah, 8/14/1785.

 

If we use the above  records as Christophers place of birth we may be wrong. Christopher's father Samuel purchased land in Washington Co. North Carolina which later became Washington Co. Tennessee. The dates of the land purchases were 1784 and 1784-1786. In 1787 Samuel paid taxes on the lands and showed two white poles (white adult males) living there. When he purchased the land he stated he was a resident of Washington Co. N.C. on both purchases. From the deed and tax records I believe Samuel was living in Washington Co.from late 1784 until about 1790-91.

 

The rest I found from some of our family records and other geneological research areas. Mostly in the Eastern Tennessee Research facility in Knox County Tennessee.

 

   Saint James Parish in Baltimore Co. Maryland states that Samuel and Keturah Shipley had the following children. CHRISTOPHER (1785), Thomas(1786), Benjamin(1788).

 

1785-1807. I can find nothing on Christopher while he was living at home.

 

1807 Knox Co. Tennessee.  Christopher paid taxes on 100 acres of land. I found no deed records of Christopher buying or selling land in Knox Co. Tennessee.  

 

1810 Knox Co. Tennessee.  Christopher and his father Samuel were sued in Knox County Tennessee for non payment of a debt. This document was used as a basis for the reconstructed 1810 Tennessee Census.

       

1811 Knox Co. Tennessee April 20th. Christopher married Betsy (Elizabeth) Rutherford in Knox Co. Tennessee. The bond for the marriage was agreed on and signed by Christopher Shipley and John Rutherford.

 

1812 Knox Co. Tenessee. Christopher was on the Knox Co. Tax list but with no property and one white pole.

 

1821 Knox Co. Tennessee. Christopher and his brother Thomas were sued for  non payment of a debt.

 

1821-1829 Sometime during this time The Shipley family moved into Cherokee Indian Territory in Tennessee.

 

1829-1832 McMinn Co. Tennessee tax list. Christopher was listed in the Tax records index.

 

1829-1830 McMinn Co Tennessee. I found some entries where Christopher had Jury duty. 

 

1830 McMinn Co. Tennessee May 30th.  Christopher signed his last will and testiment and it was probated on June 7th 1830. This was before the 1830 Tennessee Census so only Elizabeth and her family were shown.

 

The Witnesses and Executer to his will were the following men who lived next to them.

One was the brother of Elizabeth, James Rutherford

The other two were friends or family. James Regan and Philip Frye.

Also Edward Rutherford lived next to them and was some relation to Elizabeth

 

I have a copy of the will and will transcribe and list it later.

 

This is all I have on Christopher at this time, but look under his wife Elizabeth for history and census records after his death in 1830.

 

Also in notes from another researcher  concerning Rutherford's --- Christopher Shipley's nephew

Randolph Rutherford sold out in McMinn Co. Tn. in 1851 and moved to

Ozark, Mo. or Douglas Co. Mo. This is where Christophers's son and grandson, Uriah and Sterling Shipley moved to in the early 1850s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes for ELIZABETH(BETSY) RUTHERFORD:

                                                        Elizabeth (Betsy) Rutherford

 

Very little is known about Elizabeth's life except through census records. This is normal as little is ever known of the colonial and pioneer women. Here are the few facts I have gathered about our Elizabeth.

 

She was the daughter of

Randolph Rutherford born . abt 1758 Augusta Co. Virginia and died  Jan 1841

in Wythe Co. Virginia. His  wifed Mary born abt 1782.

 

Elizabeth is listed on 1830, 1840, 1860 Census.

 

1830 Census McMinn Co. Tennessee #183

males  2  (0-5)    years of age. Nehemiah and David  

males  2  (5-10)  years of age.  William and Martin James K.

males  1  (15-20)  years of age.  Thomas C. and Randolph R.

males  1  (20-30)  years of age. Uriah

females 1 (10-15) years of age . Mary (Polly)

females 1 (20-30) years of age .Ann - Daughter in law

females 1 (30-40) years of age . Elizabeth

Uriah and Ann, after they married, must have been living in the

household with his mother and the last daughter of Christopher &

Elizabeth must have not been born until after the death of

Christopherin early 1830.

 

James H. Shipley Christopher's second son, born about 1813 was not in the !830 or 1840 census. He must have moved out earlier than the other Children.

 

1840 Census McMinn County Tennessee #81

 

males  2  (10-15) years of age.  Nehemiah and David F. 

males  1  (15-20) years of age.  Martin James K. 18

females 1 (5-10                         Elizabeth 

females 1 (40-50)                      Elizabeth the Mother

 

1850 Elizabeth was not in the 1850 Census.

  

1860 census McMinn Co. Tennessee (Mc-12-210)

Elizabeth is 65 years old and lives with or next to her son William.

 

1868-1870 Elizabeth died probably in 1867 or 1868.

 

I have the available court documents of the family property settlement.

 

If anyone wants more information on the Rutherfords look in almost any large Genealogy library and there are three large volumes on the Rutherfords. I found one in the Clayton Genealogy Lib. in Houston, Texas and one in The History Center in Knox Co. Tennessee.

 

It is interesting to note that a researcher stated that  a Betsy Rutherford was listed as a member of the Cherokee Nation.

This is the second possibility of our being a part of the Cherokee Nation, But we still do not have any proof.   Oh well.

 

 

       

Children of CHRISTOPHER SHIPLEY and ELIZABETH(BETSY) RUTHERFORD are:

10.              i.    URIAH HART³ SHIPLEY, b. 10 Jun 1810, Knox Co. Tennessee; d. 14 Oct 1882, Springfiel, Conway County, Arkansas.

11.             ii.    RANDOLPH (RANDAL) R. (RUTHERFORD) SHIPLEY, b. Abt. 1815, Tennessee (probably Knox Co.or Indian Territory.); d. Abt. 1855.

12.            iii.    THOMAS C. (CHRISTOPHER) SHIPLEY, b. Abt. 1817, Tennessee (Probably Knox or McMinn County); d. Aft. 1880.

13.            iv.    MARY (POLLY) SHIPLEY, b. 18 Feb 1817, Tennessee(probably Knox Co.); d. 16 Jan 1903, Tennessee.

14.             v.    WILLIAM E. SHIPLEY, b. Abt. 1820, McMinn Co. Tennessee; d. Aft. 1880.

15.            vi.    JAMES HARVEY SHIPLEY, b. Abt. 1813, Tennessee (Probably Knox or McMinn Co.); d. Aft. 1900, Bell Co. Texas.

16.           vii.    MARTIN JAMES SHIPLEY, b. Abt. 1823, McMinn Co. TN.; d. Bet. 1850 - 1860, Tennessee.

               viii.    NEHEMIAH SHIPLEY, b. Abt. 1826, McMinn Co. TN.; d. Bef. 1869; m. EMILENE SCROGGINS, 03 Jan 1856, Rhea Co. Tennessee.

 

Notes for NEHEMIAH SHIPLEY:

 

 

I found in an LDS entry where a Nehemiah Shipley Married an Emilene Scroggins in 1856 in Rhea Co. Tennessee. It stated that Nehemiah died in 1868.

 

In the settlement of his mother Elizabeth's estate it was stated he was deceased.

 

I found a Emilene Shipley as part of the settlement of Christopher Shipleys will in1869-1870. That is all I have on Emilene.

 

 I found an N. Shipley in 1850 McMinn Co. Tennessee Census

single male age 25.

He was just above an E. Shipley single male 31.

Next was John Smith and his wife Elizabeth Shipley (Nehemiah's sister) and her family.

 

N. Shipley's age is right for Nehemiah so I feel sure it is him.

 

 

 

 

17.             ix.    DAVID F. SHIPLEY, b. Abt. 1828, McMinn Co. TN.; d. Bef. 1868.

18.              x.    ELIZABETH SHIPLEY, b. Abt. 1830, McMinn Co. TN..

 

 

3.  BENJAMIN² SHIPLEY (SAMUEL¹) was born 25 Apr 1788 in Tennessee.  He married HANNAH UNKNOWN. 

 

Notes for BENJAMIN SHIPLEY:

 

The following document is a compilation of facts, deduction, and some just plain guesses as to who this Benjamin Shipley really is. I think I am right on it but because of several Benjamins in Tennessee and some conflicting and or missing information it cannot be proven. The tax records I have compiled show that their were only three Benjamins in Washington Co. from about 1816 until 1836. Of those three one sold his land and left around 1825 or so. That left only two. Thanks to the tax records showing that because of two Benjamins in the county they showed one as 'Benjamin of James' and the other as 'Benjamin of Samuel'. The 'Benjamin of Samuel' paid his taxes on 40 acres of land it so allowed me to  identify  our 'Benjamin of Samuel' for a lot of years in Washington County. It looks like our Benjamin moved to Sullivan Co. by 1840 as per census records. From here the tax and deed records alone with other  information get really confusing. I will discuss the confusion as they show up later on in this document.

 

I found a Benjamin Shipley born to a Samuel and ??? in the Saint James Protestant Episcople Parish on April 25,1788. This is the same place that I found Christopher and Thomas, his brothers. Since both Samuel and his wife Keturah were living in Washington Co. Tn by this time. I believe he was born in Tennessee as he states in his 1850 census record.

 

I think the above is the same Benjamin I found in the 1850 Sullivan Co. Census married to a Hannah.

 

                                                Timeline History

 

1788  April 25th Benjamin Shipley was born in Washington Co.  N.C., which later became Tennessee.

 

1788- 1815 Benjamin lived with his family. Around 1810 or 1812 Benjamins father Samuel moved to Grainger Co. Tennessee for a year or so. After that he moved to Barron Co. Kentucky. I find no record of Benjamin living in Barron Co. so I think he probably stayed in Grainger Co. and moved to Washington Co. by 1815. Most of the Tennessee Census from 1800 to 1820 is lost so it is no help.

 

1816 Benjamin paid taxes in Washington Co. Tennessee. He had no land

 

1818 Benjamin paid taxes in Washington Co. Tennessee. He had no land

 

1818 Benjamin paid taxes in Washington Co. Tennessee. He had no land

 

1821 Tax records are in bad shape but I think Benjamin paid taxes in Washington Co.

 

1822 Tax records are in bad shape but I think Benjamin paid taxes in Washington Co.

 

1823 Tax records are in bad shape but I think Benjamin paid taxes in Washington Co.

 

1824-1829 Tax records are missing or unreadable.

1836 Benjamin pays taxes on 40 acres of land in Washington Co. Tennessee

 

1838 Benjamin pays taxes on 40 acres of land in Washington Co. Tennessee

 

Even though the Benjamin below looks like the same Benjamin as above, I cannot be sure. The change in acres (40 to 44)  that he is paying taxes on makes you wonder. Also in 1840 a Benjamin shows up in the 1840 Sullivan Co. Tn. census that is probably our 'Benjamin of Samuel'. Also the same for 1850. It is possible that our Benjamin moved to Sullivan Co. around 1839 and the one Benjamin left in Washington Co. is the 'Benjamin of James'. Also the 'Benjamin of James' later lived and died in Sullivan Co.

1854 Benjamin Shipley sold 40 acres of land to Mary Davidson

 

Here is a guess. I believe that our 'Benjamin of Samuel' in poor health and living in Sullivan Co. finally sold his 40 acres of land to Mary Davidson. The deed states or at least implies that Mary and her family had been living on this 40 acres for some time without owning it. This opinion answers why I did not find earlier where Benjamin sold his land.

 

Benjamin must have died between 1850 and 1860 as he did not show up on the 1860 census.

4.  RUTH² SHIPLEY (SAMUEL¹) was born Bet. 1790 - 1791 in Tennessee, and died Aft. 1861 in West Fork, Washington Co. Arkansas.  She married JOSHUA BROWN 18 Jan 1817 in Barren Co. Kentucky.  He was born 1795 in Tennessee, and died 22 Sep 1862 in West Fork, Washington Co. Arkansas.

 

Notes for RUTH SHIPLEY:

 

    From the information I have garthered it seems that Ruth Shipley was born in Tennessee (probably Knox Co.). She then moved from Tennessee to Barren Co. Kentucky with her father Samuel and several other children. (Reuben, Dorcus, Prudence, Keturah etc.). She married Joshua Brown in Barren Co. Kentucky in Jan of 1817. In the 1820 Monroe Co. Census (in 1820 Monroe was created from a part of Barren Co.) Johua Brown and Ruth are living next door to her father Samuel Shipley. Sometime between 1820 and 1830 Joshua and Ruth moved back to McMinn Co. Tennessee where several of her brothers and other relatives lived. The next I find of them are in the Washington Co. Arkansas census for 1860.

It states that Joshua was 65, a farmer  and born in Tn. Ruth was 70 and born in Tn. Ruth died sometime after 1860 and Joshua ied in 1862.

 

Genforum-Jack E. Burk- Cal. post date Nov. 20, 1998

    States that both Joshua and Ruth were born in Tn. and died in Ark.

I also found them in Monroe co. Kentucky living next to her father Samuel in the 1820 census.

 

Genforum-Debbie Jackson

    She says that Joshua and Ruth were in McMinn Co. from 1813 to 1830, but I found Joshua in the above place so who knows. She also say's that Ruth was born in Maryland.

 

Since I have found most of her brothers and sisters in Knox or McMinn Co. Tennessee between 1788 and 1813 I think she is wrong.

 

Notes for JOSHUA BROWN:

    All I have on Joshua is in  the notes I have written about  his wife Ruth Shipley.

5.  RUEBEN² SHIPLEY (SAMUEL¹) was born 1795 in Tennessee, and died 29 Jan 1867 in Illinois.  He married NANCY A. BAILEY 26 Jul 1817 in Barren Co. Ky. on Aug. 3 1817.  She was born Abt. 1797 in Virginia, and died 09 Mar 1855 in Illinois.

 

Notes for RUEBEN SHIPLEY:

BIOGRAPHY

Rueben was born in Tennessee probably Knox Co. in abt 1795. He moved to Monroe Co. Kentucky before 1820. He probably moved with his father Samuel who moved to Barron Co. Kentucky which part of it became Monroe Co. Kentucky. Samuel was on the Barren Co. tax roles from 1813-1814.  He live in Kentucly to abt 1840 and then moved to Marshall Co. Illinois before 1850. He lived there until his death in 1867.

  From Ancestry.com it shows from Barren Co. records that Rueben married an Anne W. Baily on Aug. 3 1817.

6.  KETURAH² SHIPLEY (SAMUEL¹) was born Abt. 1799 in Tennessee, and died Bet. 1842 - 1850 in Monroe County, Kentucky.  She married THOMAS BIGGERS.  He was born Abt. 1784 in Virginia.

 

Notes for KETURAH SHIPLEY:

     Keturah Shipley was born abt 1799-1801 in Tennessee she moved along with her father Samuel and several other children to Barren/Monroe Co. Kentucky in about 1810. While not much is known about her we do know that she married a Thomas Biggers in Monroe Co. Ky.and had 7 children all listed on this family page. She along with her sister Prudence in 1838-40 were Members of the Mill Creek Baptist Church and later in 1841 became Charter menbers of the "Skaggs Creek Baptist Church" in Tompkinsville, Monroe Co. Kentucky.  Keturah lived the rest of her life in Monroe Co. close to her sisters.  She died somtime between 1842 and 1850 because in 1850 Thomas had a younger wife named Catherine.  This was a time of strife in the area because of the war of 1812 and all of the debates over slavery which led up to the Civil War in 1860. My sources tell that most of the people in Monroe Co. were for the Union and against Slavery. If you were in Kentucky and a Confederate, after the war you were not to welcome and a lot of them moved on to Tennessee, Arkansas and Mo.

     Some guess work must be used to determine that Thomas Biggers was Keturah's husband. The main proof is that every other child of his was named after Keturah or one of her siblings. Her sister Prudence lived three houses down from Thomas in the 1850 census. Prudence her sister in the 1860 census was living with Owen Biggers, Keturah's son. The above leads me to be very sure that Thomas Biggers was Keturah's husband until her death.  At this time no other evidence exists.

 

The 1830 Monroe Co. census for the Thomas Biggers family showed;

 1 Male       age 5 to 9 Owen

 1 Male       age 40-49  Thomas father

 3 Females age 0-4 Ruth, martha and Mary daughters

 1 Female   age 5-9 Keturah daughter

 1 Female   age 30-39 Keturah mother

 

The 1840 Monroe Co. census for the Thomas Biggers family showed;

 1 Male       age 0-4  Thomas son

 1 Male       age 15-19 Owen

 1 Male       age 50-59 Thomas father

 1 Female   age 0-4 Prudence

 1 Female   age 5-9 Parmelia

 3 Females age 10-14 Ruth, martha and Mary

 1 Female   age 15-19 Keturah daughter

 1 Female   age 30-39 Ketutah mother

   

The 1850 Monroe Co. Census for the Thomas Biggers family showed; 

Thomas Biggers age 56 born in Va.

Catherine Biggers age 43 born in Tn.

  The children were

Keturah    age 26 -  Her mothers name.

Owen        age 25

Ruth         age 23 -  Keturah's sister's name.

Martha     age 21

Thomas   age 14 - Keturah's brothers name .

Parmelia  age 12

Prudence age 10 -  Keturah's sisters name.

Roland     age  40 - probably a relative and listed as a laborer and born in Va.

 

Genforum- Marcella Pickerell Headrick.

     Fleming S Page (Son of our Fleming S. Page) married a Mary Virginis Biggers in Monroe Co.

      

 

 

Notes for THOMAS BIGGERS:

In the 1830 census Thomas and Keturah are in Monroe Co. Kentucky

In the 1840 census Thomas and Keturah are in Monroe Co. Kentucky

7.  PRUDENCE T.² SHIPLEY (SAMUEL¹) was born Abt. 1800 in Probably Knox Co Tennessee, and died 12 May 1864 in Monroe Co. Kentucky.  She married FLEMING SMITH PAGE 08 Nov 1842 in Monroe Co. Kentucky.  He was born 14 Feb 1803 in Cumberland Co Kentucky., and died 14 Jun 1857 in Monroe Co, Kentucky.

 

Notes for PRUDENCE T. SHIPLEY:

 Information from the History and Geanology of the Robert and Rachel Page Family (1750-1827), Goochland County, Virginia and Spartan County, South Carolina by Donald W. Page (1992) On page 66 he writes the following.

     Fleming S. Page, son of John Page, was born on Feb 14 1803 in Cumberland Co. Kentucky, and died on June 14 1857 in Monroe Co. Kentucky. He married first Dorcus Shipley on September 5 1822 in Monroe Co. Kentucky. She was born on 14 March 1803 in Kentucky and died April 20, 1842 in Monroe Co Kentucky. She was the daughter of Samuel Shipley of Maryland. He married second her sister Prudence T. Shipley on November 8 1842 in Monroe Co. Kentucky. Prudence died on May 12 1864 in Monroe Co. Kentucky and is bured in Gregory Cementery Near Tompkinsville, Monroe Co. Kentucky.

     Prudence was a member of the Mill Creek Baptist Church from 1838 to 1841 when she and others partitioned the church to aid in the formation of the Skaggs Creek Babtist Church also in Monroe Co. I have an article from the a book of the Monroe Co. History where she and her sister Keturah along with others were charter members of the Skaggs Creek Baptist Church in 1841. In 1840 Prudence was living with her sister and brother-in-law Fleming Page. Probably Dorcus her sister was in poor health and died two years later in 1842. About six months later Prudence married Fleming and helped raise  her sisters children.

 

The only thing that seems odd is that in 1860 after Fleming had died Prudence instead of living with one of her step-children was living with her other sister Keturah's oldest son and his family. Maybe she did not get along with her step children??

9.  ASA² SHIPLEY (SAMUEL¹) was born Abt. 1806 in Knox Co. Tennessee, and died Bet. 1860 - 1870 in Washington Co. Tennessee.  He married ROSANNAH BEAN Abt. 1841 in Tennessee.  She was born Abt. 1806 in Tennessee, and died Aft. 1880 in Washington Co. Tennessee.

 

Notes for ASA SHIPLEY:

    According to the 1860 Census  Asa was born in Knox Co. Tennessee in 1806. He would have moved to Kentucky with his father Samuel and other siblings around 1810-1813. By 1830 he had moved back to Washington Co. Tennessee. The 1820 to 1829 tax records are incomplete or unavailable so the first proof I have of Asa is in the 1830 tax records. He married his wife Rosannah in about 1824-1825. I find him living the rest of his life in Washington Co. Tennessee. He died between 1860 and 1870 and is buried in the Shipley Cementery in Washington Co.. His wife lived for at least 10 years more.

 

     I have no proof that this Asa is our Asa but the time and place of birth and his life in Tennessee point toward it a lot.

 

In the Tennessee Washington Co. 1840 Census I found the following;

Asa Shipley

1 male under 5

1 male 30 to 40 (This would be Asa)

1 Female under 5

2 female 5 to 10

2 female 10 to 15

1 female 30 to 40 (This would be Rosannan Bean)

Missouri.  He married (2) MARY H. HICKS Bet. 1863 - 1865.  She was born Abt. 1825, and died Aft. 1900.

 

Notes for URIAH HART SHIPLEY:

                                       Some Notes on The Life Of  Our Uriah H.  Shipley                                                     and his wives Ann Davis and Mary H. Hicks

 

 

 

 1810-1812  Knox Co. Tennessee. Uriah was born (as recorded on his tombstone June 10 1810). The problem with the above date is that according to Tennessee records his parents were married in 1811. I guess it is possible.   He was the first born of Christopher Shipley and Elizabeth Rutherford.

 

1812-1829 During this time it seems that Christopher and Elizabeth Shipley and family live in first Knox Co. Tennessee until maybe 1820 or so. At that time they moved into Cherokee Indian territory. I think that this later became Bradley County Tennessee.

 

1929-1830 Uriah and Ann Davis get married. One source states that family tradition was that Ann was a full blood Cherokee Indian. This source also states that during the first 10 or 12 years of their marriage they spent living in the Ocoee Indian district in Tennessee. Bradley Co was formed from this district and they are listed as among the first settlers of the Eureka Community. Uriah being a Lay Minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church helped form the Euraka Academy, a church school for the Indian children. During the 1840s the family moved back to McMinn Co.

 

1830 Tennessee, McMinn Co. Census for Elizabeth Shipley (Uriah's mother)  #183

males      2                (0-5)    years of age.           Nehemiah and David  

males      2                (5-10)  years of age.           William and Martin James K.

males      1                (15-20)  years of age.         Thomas C. and Randolph R.

males      1                (20-30)  years of age.         Uriah

females   1              (10-15) years of age .          Mary (Polly)

females   1              (20-30) years of age .          Ann - Daughter in law

females   1              (30-40) years of age .           Elizabeth mother

 

Uriah and Ann, after they married, must have been living in the

household with his mother and the last daughter of Christopher &

Elizabeth must have not been born until after the death of

Christopher in early 1830.

 

 1839 Bradley Co. Tennessee. Uriah and others signed a petition asking for special consideration over some school land that they were living on and the school is going to remove them from it. I have a transcription of the document.

County TN.

 

1850-1851 Uriah's oldest son Sterling Davis moved from Tennessee to Arkansas.

 

1855 McMinn Co. Tennessee. The last record of Uriah in McMinn Co. TN. was in Will Book E (465) in which he was witness to the will of Jacob Buttram 23 Sept. 1855.

 The Douglas Co. - Book A Marriage Records in Ozark Co. (pages 21,34,42,50,51,56,101) show Uriah as a Lay or Circuit Minister who officiated at these weddings.

 

1863 Nov. 23 - Acccording to one source Urish's wife Ann died at this time.

        The same source state that she is probably buried near their home in Spring Creek Township, Just west of country road A, between the villages of Hest and Smallet

 

1863-1865 Missouri, Douglas Co.. Uriah married Mary Hicks. (see 1870 census notes Mary H. 45

1882 October 14th Uaiah died in Springfield Conway County, Arkansas. He is buried in the Springfield Cemetery. He was a Mason. His Headstone is brokern in three pieces but is still very readaable..

His Headstone listed the following:

  At the top was a Mason emblem

  Rev. U. H. Shipley

  Born June 10 1810

  Died Oct. 14 1882

 

1884-1903 Arkansas, Conway Co.. Uriah's wife paid the taxes.

 

1900 Arkansas, Conway Co. Arkansas. Mary Shipley is listed as living alone in the 1900 census.

 

A few intersting footnotes on Uriah.

 

     I found a letter that was sent to the State of Tennessee in 1839 from Bradley Co. asking for relief from a newly formed school district that was trying to take away some land or make them pay more than they thought they should. Uriah and a number other people signed the petition.  From what I could tell it was land that Uriah and other people had settled on and it was Indian land. After the the government moved the Indians to Oklahoma they set up a school district giving all of the land to the school districtand Uriah and others were trying to not lose their land. The Cherokee Indian move was a sad footnote in American History and was called "The Cherokee Trail Of Tears" . Read about it sometime. We were not very nice to the Cherokee Indians. 

 

He was an Episcopal Methodist Minister most of his life and records show that he performed marriages where ever he lived.

 

 We know that Uriahs Shipley's daughter Louisa married Isaac Franks and  Samuel Charles Shipley married Mary Franks. This is one of two places where the Shipley's and Frank's inter-married. There was a letter stating that we might have another Franks in our Ancestry but some information from one of our Second cousins Trudy Shipley Harper cleared that up. It was a stepson of Sterling Davis Shipley talking about Uriah.

 

It is interesting to note that there were few if any schools in the area where Uriah grew up, but he learned to read and write quite well it seems.

 

Listed below are notes from Trudy Shipley Harper, Vicki Karmann and Sybil Shipley Jobe. They repeat some of my above comments but, I think they are interesting just the same.

           

     From Vickie in ref. to note of Sybil Shipley Jobe. Uriah married a Mary

Hicks sometime between 1863 & 1865 (see 1870 census notes Mary H. 45

b. Ala) and that they had no children.

There were no schools in the area where Uriah lived but Uriah learned

to read and write and had a fair education. He later became a lay

minister in the Episcopal Methodist Church South and the Methodist

Protestant Church.

 

Uriah's oldest son Sterling moved to Ark. in the early 1850's and was

in Douglas Co. Mo. by 1857. By 1859 Uriah was in Douglas Co. He bought

40 acres of land (SW SE of S9 twp 25 R 16) from the United States for

$40.00 on Nov. 25, 1859. On the 29 Nov. 1865 Uriah applied for

homestead land. He was issued Homestead Certificates No396... This

land is located on Rippee Creek in the Brown Twp.

They moved to Springfield, Conway Co. Ark. sometime in 1871. Land

records dated Nov. 4, 1871 show that he bought land there.

On Jan. 26 1872 Uriah registered his credentials as an Ordained Deacon

in the Methodist Protestant Church (Deed Book L page 261)

Uriah paid taxes in Conway Co. Ark. in the years of 1874, 1877, 1879.

His wife paid them from 1884-1903. The last record of Uriah in Conway

Co. Ark. is dated Sept. 29, 1880. It is a promissory note. William M.

Shipley is also listed.

1880 Census Conway Co. ark. taken June 11, 1880. They were in Union

Twp. his age is listed as 70, hers as 64 - his occupation is listed as

farmer. Mary is listed alone in the 1900 Conway Co. census.

Notes for MARY LOUISA SHIPLEY:

BIOGRAPHY

Louisa married Issac Lemuel Franks. This is the first established time

that the Shipleys and Franks inter married. The second and later was

Mary Franks and Samuel Charles Shipley.

Louisa's daughter Cynthia Mary Ann Franks (my grandmother) married

Calvin E. Shipley's son Samuel Charles (my grandfather) .

Louisa and Isacc lived in Alabama prior to living in Ark. They came to

Texas from Ark. Dec. 14 1888 and Jan 1889. Louisa was pregnant and

sick at the time and came by train the with smaller children with her Bro-in-law,

Jerry (Jeremiah), Accompaning her. Isacc came by wagon with older

children.

There was a letter dated 4 Jan 1880 by W.A. Hubbird to Isaac Lemuel

Franks stating that his grandpa was a brother to Thomas Shipley.  He

does not give his grandpa's name but this Thomas Shipley might be a

relation to Louisa Shipley.  We do know that Isaac and Louisa's

daughter, Mary, married Samuel Charles Shipley and Charles's father

was named Calvin and was a cousin to Louisa Shipley Franks.  It is

believed that Mary Franks and Charles Shipley (her husb) were third

cousins.

The answer to the above letter came from Trudy Shipley Harper.

Sterling D. Shipley's 2nd wife. was Charlotte Hubbard. Charlotte had a

son by her first husband  whose name was Warren. b. 1857. Sterling and

Charlotte married in Sept. of 1860. The grandfather W. A. (Warren) is

speaking of is Sterling's father Uriah (which was probably the only

grandfather Warren Hubbard knew). Uriah had a brother named Thomas C.

Shipley who was married to Nancy Jane Wattenbarger. So the answer is

we do not have another Franks marriage in the family line.

All of Louisa's children and decendents are in the Franks family

records.

Aside from the below all I have on Randell is he was deceased at the time of the final probation of Christopher's Will in 1870. It stated his wife and children's location  were not known.

 

Somewhere I found where he married a Millie Rudisil in 1835 and a Martha Alice Rudisil in 1850.

The women may be the same. I do not know. Other doucmentation shows her name was Mary Ann Mann.

Am looking for more information on R. Shipley who married Milly (Millie). In 1850 TN census listed with children Amanda (possibly Lamanda) 14, Delila 12, Sarah 10, Alex 6, Francis 5, Rebecca 4, and Doctor (possibly Collins) 4. In my family bible I show a Lamanda Crume who died in Feb 1911 age 75 in Marionville, MO. I show her maiden name was Shipley. Also show Alexander Shipley and his date of death. Show Collins Shipley and his date of death. (Is Doctor Shipley AKA Collins?) Rebecca Shipley, I believe is my Gr Gr Grandmother. She married James Boster. These names and dates coincide with what I found in the 1850 Census.

 

Would like more information on the parents and siblings. Rebecca Shipley Boster's death certificate show Alexander Shipley as her father and Milly Lamb as her mother. Both parents born in TN. Are Randolph Shipley and Alexander Shipley the same person. So many facts match, I feel this could be possible.

 

Any information or leads would be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Joan,

All I know is her name Milly Ann Mann

they were married about 1830-1835.

They are in the 1840 census of McMinn Co. Tn.

Wilma, could you tell me how you know her name was Milly Mann? If you found that somewhere I really would appreciate a copy.

Thank you.

August 6th 2001

Wilma, thank you for replying. I too had found that Randolph's wife, Millie, maiden name was Mann. This came from both a book on the Shipley's as well as the marriage license of William Alexander Shipley (one of Randolph and Millie's sons.) The name Lamb comes from the death certificates of Rebecca Shipley Boster and Amanda Shipley Crume who were 2 of the daughters of Randolph and Millie. Also there is a handwritten note on a piece of paper in our Family Bible that gives the name Lamb. So, have been trying to find the marriage certificate of Randolph and Millie, but so far have had no luck at all.

 

Thanks again for your information.

Joan,

Sorry I got it from a book but can't

remember which one.But this may help

She married a Tilmon Dixon 25 Sept.1855 In

Hamilton Co.Il.then she married a William Cannon 11 Feb.1863 and they moved to Lawrence Co.Mo. where she died.

I didn't write ever thing down because she

was not on my side of the family.

Randolph's brother Thommas is my line

March 19th 2002

 My information about the father of William Alexander Shipley (called Alec), Lamanda, and Becky is from Alec's application for a wedding license to Martha Alice Rudesill. It says his Father's name was Randal. Alec's grandfather Christopher Shipley named his son as Randal.

 

In the county just west of McMinn was a Randolph R. Shipley. He is not the same person. The court house there burned but other records exist to make it clear that each man, Randal and Randolph R. were separate people.

 

I would be interested in any documented source that names the Father of Alec as Randolph.

 

Jean Babcock, the Granddaughter of Alec.

In Reply to: Lamanda Jane Shipley Ill 1835 by R. ay Huffhines  of 1938 

 

 

Ray, Lamanda's parents were Randolph R. Shipley and Milly Ann. I have a possibility of two maiden names for Milly Ann, but so far have not found what I hope to be definitive proof of her maiden name. I have been looking for the marriage certificate of Randolph and Millie and so far have not had any luck.

 

Randolph and Millie were in the 1850 Census of McMinn Co. TN. Amanda age 14, Delilia age, 12, Sarah age 10, Alex age 6, Francis age 5, Rebecca age 4, and Doctor age 1. Randolph and Millie migrated to IL after 1850. Randolph died somewhere during the trip. Millie remarried twice.

 

I am down Rebecca's line and her marriage to James A. Boster.

 

I have additional info on the family, if you are interested. Would be happy to share with you. I have death certificates of Amanda (Lamanda), Rebecca and Alexander as well as obits. Also some additional info on Amanda which I found in My Shipley Family, Genealogical History of the Christopher Shipley Family by Sybil Shipley Jobe.

Notes for UNKNOWN:

Some researchers list Eleanor Rodgers as Thomas's first wife but he would have only been 13 at the time of their marriage so based on what i have read I do not believe that she is his wife.

They state that

Notes for WILLIAM E. SHIPLEY:

 From his birth until after 1850 William lived with his Father and Mother in McMinn Co. Tn

 

If you look at the sequence of the 1850 Mcminn Co. Tn Shipley Census it is as follows

 

N. Shipley male age 25 single (Nehemiah Shipley)

E. Shipley male age 31 single  (William E. Shipley)

John Smith and wife Elizabeth (William and Nehemiah's sister)

 

Then look at the sequence of the 1860 McMinn Co. Tn Shipley Cenus as follows

 

Elizabeth Shipley female age 65 (wife of Christopher)

William Shipley and family (son of above Elizabeth)

John Smith and Elizabeth (sister of William)

I think it's a pretty strong hint that the E. Shipley in 1850 is the same as William in 1860.

 

I found William in 1870 census in Roane Co. Tn married to a Sarah age 30, David age 10 (step son)

Mary E. age 3

 

I found William in 1880 census in Meigs married to a Sarah age 40 Mary E. age 12 stepson David Ball age 19.

Ball was her first married name. I do not know her maiden name

Notes for NANCY ANN SHIPLEY:

She is in the 1870 census next to her father who married a Ball

 

 

       

Children of WILLIAM SHIPLEY and SARAH LANE are:

                  ii.    MARY E⁴ SHIPLEY, b. Abt. 1867.

                 iii.    DAVID BALL, b. Abt. 1860.

Step son to William Shipley

 

 

 

 

15.  JAMES HARVEY³ SHIPLEY (CHRISTOPHER², SAMUEL¹) was born Abt. 1813 in Tennessee (Probably Knox or McMinn Co.), and died Aft. 1900 in Bell Co. Texas.  He married (1) MARY UNKNOWN Abt. 1836.  She was born Abt. 1817 in Tennessee, and died Bef. 1864 in Van Buren Co. Arkansas.  He married (2) MARY ELEN SCARLETT MCCLURE 06 Feb 1864 in Van Buren Arkansas.  She was born 16 Feb 1837 in Indiana, and died 20 Apr 1920 in Bell Co. Texas.

 

Notes for JAMES HARVEY SHIPLEY:

James H. Shipley's life is a mystery. Nothing completely fits, but here is what I think is his history.

It is based on facts, logic, guess work, some luck and the McClure family history in Arkansas and Texas.

                 

                Here is my story on James H. Shipley

 

1813 about, James H, Shipley was born in probably Knox Co. Tennessee. Tax and court records show that his father Christopher was living there until about 1821.

 

1830 He must had left home by 1830 at the age of about 17 and that is why he was not in the 1830 census with his other siblings.

 

1840 I find a James Shipley the right age living in Hamilton Co. Tn next to McMinn Co. where the rest of the clan still lived. This is possibly him although you cannot tell by the census.

 

1840 Hamilton Co. Tennessee Census for James Shipley

males      2              under 5

males      4              20-30

females   1              15-20

females   1              20-30

 

1848 James sell his share of the family estate to his brother Nehemiah Shipley.

Nehemiah in 1870 sells his shares to his brother William.

 

1850 James has already moved to Van Buren Co. Arkansas where he shows up in the

1850 Census of Van Buren Co.

James H. H. Shipley             age 37 farmer b: Tenn          He would be born in about 1813.

Mary                                      age 33             b; Tenn          (Poly??)

Christopher C.                      age 13             b: Tenn          (Named after his Grandfather)

Mary Cadsa ??                     age 78             b: USA           (Probably mother of Mary    }

 

1850-1851 Jame's nephew Sterling Davis son Of Uriah moved to Arkansas in late 1850. (county not known yet), but possibly Van Buren Co.. Sterling later moves on to Ozark and Douglas Missouri and after he fought in the Civil War he moved back to Greene Fulton and Izard Co. Arkansas

 

1857 A James H. Shipley received a BLM land Pat. in Cleburne Co. Ark. next to Van Buren Co. Ark. It could be our John H. Shipley

 

1858 September 18th James son Christopher C. married Sarah McClure.

 

1859 A James H. Shipley received a BLM land Pat. in Cleburne Co. Ark. next to Van Buren Co. Ark. It could be our James  H. Shipley

James H, Shipley                  age 45    

Polly                                       age 43

Christopher                           age 22

Sarah                                      age 19                     Wife of Christopher C. m: 1858         

 

1864 February 6th James H. Shipley married Mary Elen (Scarlett) McClure.

 

1868-1870 James was mentioned in the settlement of his fathers estate in McMinn Co. Tennessee.

He was notified by publication which I think means an ad was ran in the McMinn Co. local paper.

 

1862-1770 Between these years Sterling Davis moved back to Izard Co. and later Fulton Co.Arkansas.

1870-1871 Jame's older brother Uriah Shipley moved from Douglas Co. Missouri to Conway Co. Arkansas which is next to Van Buren Co. where James lived. Uriah died in Conway Co. in 1879.

 

From here on most information comes from the McClure Website.

 

1873-1880 The family moved to Texas

A few notes on Sterling are as follows;

 

                                  "Estate of S.D. Shipley Dec'd"

 

     Now on this day was presented to the court the inventory of the estate of S.D.

     Sterling was a lay Minister for the Methodist Church as was his

father, and he officiated at many marriages in Ozark Co. Mo.

                    

 

     Listed below is input from other sources on Sterling Davis Shipley and Family

History. Some of it is a duplicate of the above but it is still very good reading.

 

     Shipley Family records state that Sterling was a bugler in the civil war, but I find no other record of it.

 

                        Notes from Trudy Shipley Harper and others.

 

     The 1850 Census shows him still living at home 19 yrs. old and not married yet. They left Tennessee after Sept 1, 1850 when he married and went to Arkansas. By 1858 they were in Missouri and went back to Arkansas sometime after Feb. 1870. When he was living with his parents in Bradley Co. Tn, Was when the Cherokee Indians on The "Trail Of Tears" were moved to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi.      Sterling was a wagon-maker and a farmer.

      In the 1860 census for Mo. he is enumerated in Spring Creek Township household #100 (his father was #99). Sterling bought 40 acres of land on Spring Creek in Douglas Co. Mo. for $50.00 from the United States Govt. on Oct. 27, 1857.

     Book K page 341 shows that Homer F. Fellows assigned land to Sterling D. Shipley at no charge on June 23, 1858 in Douglas Co. Mo.. Page 343 shows Sterling D. Shipley Assigns this same land to Nancy Buttram at no charge.

     Sterling married #2 wife Charlotte/Sharlotta Hubbard and was living in Ozark Co. Mo. when he enlisted as a Private in Company C 4th Missouri infantry (CSA) on Feb 15, 1862. He was detailed as a wagon-maker. Sterling and Charlotte's first son, Sterling Price Shipley was only 13 days old when Sterling D. enlisted. Like many returning Confederate veterans, Sterling and his family moved south into Arkansas. after the Civil War. They are listed in Izard Co. Arkansas, Tablerock Township in the 1870 Census. Sometime during the 1870s, he moved the family to Fulton Co. Ark. where he died Dec. 1879. The inventory of his estate is filed in Probate Book A, page 651 in Fulton Co. Ark.

 

                          "Estate of S.D. Shipley Dec'd"

 

     Now on this day was presrnted to the court the inventory of the estate of S.D.
