It is pure conjecture she is. There is no proof or any documentation for this hypothesis other than the close proximity of Hardeman (Hardy) Hughs to Benjamin Shipley, son of Hannah Retta, in the 1830 Hamilton County, Tennessee census. Hardeman Hughs may be a son of Francis Hughes; that is not proved either. In 1860 Nathan Shipley, son of Hannah Retta, was living next door to John Hughes born about 1779 and the son of Francis Hughes. Ephraim Hughes, son of John Hughes, son of Francis Hughes lived in the same town.

Memories and Stories

Francis Hughes was born in Shenandoah County, VA in the year 1759. At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, he was living in Western Burke (then Rowan) County, NC. He later was "unsettled", but apparently was residing in the Watauga area of east Tennessee, then North Carolina.

Francis Hughes first entered military service in Burke County, NC in June 1776. He served as a ranger on the western Catawba Frontier, scouting against the hostile Cherokee and Creek Indians. He served in Capt. Penland's Company. In August 1776, Hughes joined up with Rutherford's troops and took part in the Cherokee Expedition of August-October 1776, In his pension declaration, he mentions an engagement in which eighteen Indians were killed.

In January 1777, he enlisted in Col. John Seviers Regiment. Their purpose was to clear the Watauga Settlements from Indian incursions. He helped to erect and and garrison a fort on the Nolachukey River (at Gallaker's orGallagher's).

In September 1780, Hughes volunteered under Col. Sevier (Capt. Samuel William's Company) and took part in the great King's Mountain Expedition of September and October 1780. The march culminated in the American Victory at King's Mountain, SC on October 7, 1780.

His final tour of duty was for a period of one month under Col. Sevier. This consisted of a short march to Cherokee country and back.

About the second marriage: A woman named Mary Ann "Dolly" Miller, the wife of Thornton Miller, claimed that she was a half-sister to John Hughes, the son of Francis Hughes and Rebecca Allen. As Kay White has noted,

"Francis, in his will, listed ALL of his living legal heirs - IF Mary Ann was living at the time of the Will (1841), she was not his daughter, although she could have possibly been a step-daughter - IF she was deceased at that time, the possibility of either does exist - this bears further study." (12)

Francis without a will:

"Francis Hughes did not leave a will. The document referred to as a will was actually a court declartion made by Francis' children. They went to court to swear that they were the only living, legal heirs in order to collect their father's pension. It is known that they did not include a half sister, Mary Ann (Polly) Hughes who married Thornton Miller."
--Jeanne Bowman Overbay, Feb. 26, 2000

Francis Hughes is documented in Revolutionary War Soldiers of Western North Carolina.

Francis Hughes apparently moved from Burke County, NC to Watauga some time during the war... He was in Greene Co TN, by 1782.... He continued to reside in East Tennessee for the remainder of his life.

"Francis Hughs" appears in Greene Co TN's 1797 tax list in Captain Jas. Penney's Company as owning 1210 acres, 1 white poll, and 3 black polls.

On July 21, 1833, as a resident of Greene County, TN, age 74 years, he applied for a Federal pension. He was awarded an annual pension of $51.66. In his pension application children are mentioned, but not by name. (See below).(6)

Francis Hughes died January 25, 1841... while residing with his daughter Margaret in Bledsoe County, TN. His wife predeceased him. His heirs were as follows: John Hughes, Margaret Hughes, Ingabow Hixon and Rebecca Hixon.

Francis Hughes pension record, as documented by Descendants of John Hewes, privately published by Eben Putanm, New York, 1913, Call Number Cs71.H892:

"Francis Hughes was of Green County, Tenn., 21 July, 1833, then aged 74 years, when he applied for pension, alleging that he resided in Burke County, N. C., in June, 1776, when he enlisted as a ranger in North Carolina, under Capt. Penland, in the command of Gen. McDowell, and served two months and a half against the Cherokee and Creek Indians.

"On his return from this tour of service, he met the troops under Gen. Rutherford on their march to the Cherokee Nation, and volunteered under Rutherford. The expedition proceeded to the "Nation." In the overhill towns the Indians embodied, and an engagement ensued in which the Indians were defeated with a loss of 18 killed. This tour of service lasted from August, 1776, to December, 1776, four months.

"In Jan., 1777, he volunteered under Col. John Sevier to retake the western settlements on the Watoga. Seviers' force was employed in building a fort for defense at "Gallaker's" on "Nola Sheeky" river, in the present State of Tennessee. Hughes was stationed there for twelve months.

"Under the Act of North Carolina calling for new levies, he volunteered in Sept., 1780, for an expedition, under Col. Sevier, against Ferguson. He was in Capt. Samuel Williams' company and marched with Campbell's Virginia troops across the "Yellow Mountains" into North Carolina, and there met the militia under General McDowell, and in October was present at the battle of King's Mountain.

"After the battle he helped guard the prisoners on the march to the "Barrix" for exchange, serving three months. In the winter of 1780 he again volunteered and was led by Col. Sevier against the Cherokee Indians and marched to the borders of their country, but the Indians had retired. He was one month in this service. His total service was 21 months and 14 days.

"He was born in Shenandoah Co Va., in 1759, and had lived in Washington County, afterward in Greene County. He was living in 1839. "

Francis Hughes may have used his Revolutionary War service to qualify for work as a ranger, as noted in the following passages from Goodspeed's History of Greene County, 1887:

> "In 1783, the General Assembly of North Carolina passed an act dividing Washington County for the second time, and establishing the county of Greene. On the third Monday of August, the court of pleas and quarter sessions met at the house of Robert Carr, which stood near to what is known as the Big Spring in Greeneville.

"The magistrates present were Joseph Hardin, John Newman, George Doherty, James Houston, Amos Bird and Asahel Rawlings. Daniel Kennedy was elected clerk; James Wilson, sheriff; William Cocke, attorney for the State; Joseph Hardin, Jr., entry taker; Isaac Taylor, surveyor, Richard Woods, register, and Francis Hughes, ranger."

> "In May, 1785, the county was reorganized under the State of Franklin, and all the officers who were reappointed were required to take a new oath of office. The magistrates who appeared and qualified were Joseph Hardin, George Doherty, Benjamin and John Gist, Newman, Asabel Rawlings, John Maughon, James Patterson, John Weir and David Craig.

"The old county officers were removed except Daniel Kennedy, clerk and Francis Hughes, ranger. The county, as a whole, was the most loyal to the Franklin government of any of the counties composing the State, and jealously guarded against anything tending to weaken its influence or authority."

Land Grant Records for Francis Hughes are as follows: (5)

1. Washington Co., TN NC Grant #262 - 99 acres - Oct 24, 1782. Watauga Bk. 252
2. Washington Co., TN NC Grant #362 - 99 acres - 24 Oct, 1782. Bk 1 p. 567 - probably same grant as #1.
3. Greene Co., TN NC Grant #1115 - 640 acres - 12 July 1793. Bk 6 p. 463

The third record above is known to be for land on the Mill Fork of the Big Limestone Creek, Greene Co TN.

Ephriam Hughes 1873 - 1908 Lizzie Lewis 35 35 Elizabeth "Lizzie" Lewis was born the 15th of February, 1873 in Crawford County, Arkansas, the second child of David Walker Lewis and Eliza Jane Shipley.  She married Joseph Leander Kimes the 3rd of April, 1890 in Crawford County, Arkansas.  He was born the 31st of December, 1869 in Chester, Crawford County, Arkansas, the second son of David G. Kimes and Nancy Evalyn Elkins.   He was twenty and she was just barely seventeen.

Nine months after their wedding, Emmett DeWitt was born the 25th of December 1890.  He was a very large baby and it was an extremely difficult birth for the young, petite, Lizzie.  By the time the doctor extracted him, Lizzie was torn apart and a portion of Emmett's skull was caved in.  The next eleven years brought six more children:  Moody born in 1892, Woodworth born in 1894, Sylvine born in 1895, Herbert born in 1897, Vincent born in 1899, and Edith born in 1901.  Five years later Theodore was born in 1906.  All eight of their children were born near Chester, in Crawford County, Arkansas.

They lived in the Ozarks of Arkansas in a canyon between two hills called Poe Hollow for at least part of their marriage.  The small town of Chester was the closest place where there was a store.   Land built a small home out in the country.  Here there was no electricity, indoor plumbing, running water, or telephones.  Cooking and heating were done with wood; kerosene lamps provided light at night.  Like most people in the area, they kept a supply of food from their garden, raised pigs, chickens, and had a cow.  We can only imagine what hard work it was caring for seven children under the age of eleven while doing the daily washing, cooking, cleaning, making of clothing, and vegetable gardening.  It was also the woman's job to preserve food for the winter months.  Land had to farm, care for the livestock, hunt, and work for some hard cash.  They had the necessities of life, but except for a pump organ they had few luxuries.

Virginia Pierce Kimes said,"Lizzie was a good cook and I have heard the children tell about her good "light bread" (yeast rising bread).  According to the kids, my Mom (Land’s second wife) could never make it as good as Lizzie did."  She was also a good seamstress who taught her girls how to sew and be good homemakers and housekeepers.  By the time Woodie was grown she was an expert seamstress and made her living sewing.  Lizzie taught Emmett the keyboard on the family pump organ.

Land and Lizzie were members of the Methodist Church who raised their children to be good people.  Land was well educated considering the times; he was a Methodist minister for much of the time he was in Arkansas.  He probably gave it up after the church was able to send in traveling ministers.  According to family tradition, Lizzie was often asked to pray in church because her prayers were so beautiful.  Vincent said that the family always joined hands at the table while his dad said the prayer before their meal.

After the birth of their eighth child, Lizzie’s health deteriorated. Susan Kimes Burgess says, "I remember it being said that Lizzie had a chronic bladder infection that lasted for years.  I don’t know if this is true."  Lizzie became very depressed.  According to Leander’s second wife, Vady, who attended the same church, Lizzie looked terrible those last weeks.   Sixteen months after Theodore's birth, while Land and the older boys were working in the fields and the girls were busy in other parts of the house or yard Lizzie slit her throat in the dining room the 28th of March, 1908. 

She is buried in the Kimes Cemetery (also called Westview Cemetery), Crawford County, Arkansas.

I wonder if Lizzie suffered from celiac disease that contributed to her suffering and death. 1852 - 1928 Thomas Henry Kimes 75 75 Thomas Henry Kimes was born the 1st of May, 1852 in Van Buren, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.   He married 1) Alice Shipley in the fall of 1876.  She was born in 1860 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA to Benjamin Franklin Shipley, Jr. and Mary Sharp Lester.  Mary Sharp Lester was the sister of Mildred Ann Elizabeth Lester, a direct ancestor of Elizabeth Lewis, first wife of Joseph Leander Kimes.   In December of 1888 Thomas sold out and went to California.  Alice died there in childbirth the 7th of June, 1889 at the age of 28 years.  She is buried in California.  Thomas and Alice had seven children:  Dora Gertrude, Cornelius, F.M., Joseph Lafayette, George Washington, Charles W., and Benjamin Valentine.

After Alice died Thomas brought his motherless children back to Arkansas in September of 1889.  He then married 2) Lucy Virginia Griffin the 7th of December, 1891 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.   She was previously married to John Shields.  Lucy was born the 21st of February, 1860 in Missouri to ________ Griffin and Susan Hall.  Thomas and Lucy had two children: David Oscar and Ethel Elizabeth.  Virginia Pierce remembers,

"Edith Barbar and I walked across the hill to the home of Uncle Thomas and Aunt Lucy one Saturday and spent the night there and walked back to our homes on Sunday.  These old people were very gracious to us kids (11 and 13).  We had a good time visiting with them and eating a delicious dinner and breakfast.  (This was during the time when everyone was supposed to have been so poor in the Ozarks.)"

If Thomas married Alice Shipley in about 1876 why is she still living with her parents under the name Alice Shipley and where are Dora Gertrude and James Cornelius?  I have been unable to find Thomas, Valentine Jr., John L., and Martha Kimes on the 1880 census index.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1848 - 1919 David Walker LEWIS 70 70 David Walker Lewis was born the 11th of August, 1848 in Cedar Creek, Arkansas to James M. Lewis and Catherine McCurdy.  David had a troubled childhood.  His parents, James and Catherine Lewis had marital difficulties and were separated when he was very young.  He is found twice in the 1850 census, once living in a household headed by his mother with two siblings and living next door to her parents, and again in a household headed by his father living with who is believed to be his father's sister and next door to his father's supposed brother.  His father died about 1854.  His mother married 2) John Boen about 1855 and died in 1858 after having three more children.  In 1860 he is found living with his sister "Winney", Buena Vista Lewis, in the home of Andrew T. and Elizabeth Willey.

David married Eliza Jane Shipley the 11th of August, 1870 in Crawford County, Arkansas.  She was born the __ of July, 1852 (1)  in Lees Creek, Upper Township, Crawford County, Arkansas to Nathan Pascal Shipley, Sr. and Elizabeth Mildred Lester.  Eliza Jane saw tragedy in her early life too.  Her father was murdered during the Civil War when she was only ten years old.  The family oral history says he was hanged by bushwhackers in front of the family along with his brother, Richard Shipley.  According to family oral tradition Eliza lived with other family members after this.  Her mother was very poor and after her house burned down she lived with David and Eliza for awhile.  Supposedly, Eliza purchased her parents' property.  In 1880 Eliza's mother and her three brothers were living next door to David and Eliza. 

David patented 120 acres in Crawford County, Arkansas September 18, 1894.  They had eleven children all born in Crawford County, Arkansas: 

1. Roseltha Delcie b. August 20, 1871
2. Elizabeth "Lizzie" b. February 15, 1873
3.  William Franklin b. July 17, 1875
4. Gertrude Ellen b. January 11, 1879
5. Henry Davis Baskum b. February 25, 1881
6. Moody b. February 8, 1883

9, Harvey Leander b. August 13, 1890
10. Thomas Wesley b. February 18, 1893
11. Joseph Webber b. July 16, 1895

David died the 2nd of March, 1919 in Chester, Crawford County, Arkansas(2) and is buried in Oliver Cemetery in Crawford County, Arkansas.(3)  Eliza died the 20th of August, 1931 at 435 So. Valencia, Burbank, California.  She was buried the 22nd of August, 1931 in Valhalla Cemetery, North Hollywood, California.  According to family folklore there was "a falling out" amongst the descendants.(4)  Apparently, when David died he owned a large acreage.  In his will he left it to his wife and children.  When Eliza died some of the living siblings arranged to have the children of their deceased sisters, Elizabeth and Roseltha, left out of the disbursement.  This created a rift that split the family apart.

Footnotes:
(1)  Eliza's death certificate #31-04 3891 indicates she was 82 years old when she died, incorrectly making her birth year 1849.  The cemetery lists her birthday as the 8th of August, 1849.  Some Lewis family researchers list it as the 18th of August, 1852.  The 1860 census lists her age as 8 years and the 1870 census lists it as 18, making her birth year 1852.  In the 1900 census she gave her birth date as July, 1853.  In Sarah Shipley's pension application No. 379,798, p.41, the 20th of March, 1890, Eliza states, "I will be 37 years old in July:"  This would make her birthday, July 1853.  July 1853 makes her just 6 months older than her brother, William Lester, which seems very unlikely, therefore I put her birth year as 1852 (9 months after her parents marriage).

DEPOSITION ________
Case of                   Sarah Shipley                             ,   No.          379,798             

On this              20th                     day of                Mch.              , 1890 , at
     near Chester                            , County of                 Crawford                      ,
State of            Ark.                             , before me,           H. N. Patton                   , a
Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared         D. W.               
              Lewis                                 , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this Special Examination of
aforesaid pension claim, deposes and says:   I am 40 years old past : occupation
farmer  :  P. O. address Chester Crawford Co. Ark.
     I knew James Shipley all my life.  During
the war we were separated.  I did not know him
after the war until about a year before he died.
During that time his health did not seem to be
good.  From his appearance he seemed to be consumption.
He seemed to be disposed to a cough.
     I sat up with him one night; some 3 or 4 days,
as well as I recollect, before he died.  He seemed quite
restless and the misery seemed to be in his head +
side, can't say which side.  He was of a dark red color
and appeared to have a high fever.  It was my under-
standing that he died with some kind of fever, but I
don't remember what kind of fever.  He was not
sick but a short time.  The night I sat up with him
I noticed no particular offensive smell, more
than a fever smell attending all such cases.  I
don't remember of him having any breaking out.  If
there had been any large sores or scabs on his face
or hands I might have noticed it, but I don't remember
any now.  Since his death I have heard one or two speak
about him having some kind of a breaking out, but
I know nothing personal about it.  At the time of
his death I did not hear it mentioned that a "breaking
out" was the cause of his death.
     No Sir.  I never made an affidavit in this case
that I remember of.  Yes Sir, I wrote that signature.  I had
Page     39    Deposition    L   


Page      40  
forgotten about making an affidavit. Since hearing
affidavit read I remember of making a statement once.
The question was asked me about him being "broken out":  I told
them I heard he was, but then I knew nothing personally
about it.  There is a little exaggeration there.  I never noticed
any breaking out.  I never testified either to the Co or
regt. that Shipley belonged for I didn't know.  Former
affidavit is correct as to his supporting his mother
and the amount of property +c.
     I married Claimants granddaughter.  I
have no interest in the claim.
     I have understood the questions asked and
my answers have been correctly recorded in this affidavit.
                         D. W. Lewis

Eliza's death certificate #31-04 3891 indicates she was 82 years old when she died, incorrectly making her birth year 1849.  The cemetery lists her birthday as the 8th of August, 1849.  Some Lewis family researchers list it as the 18th of August, 1852.  The 1860 census lists her age as 8 years and the 1870 census lists it as 18, making her birth year 1852.  In the 1900 census she gave her birth date as July, 1853.  In Sarah Shipley's pension application No. 379,798, p.41, the 20th of March, 1890, Eliza states, "I will be 37 years old in July:"  This would make her birthday, July 1853.  July 1853 makes her just 6 months older than her brother, William Lester, which seems very unlikely, therefore I put her birth year as 1852 (9 months after her parents marriage).

DEPOSITION ________
Case of                   Sarah Shipley                             ,   No.          379,798             

On this             20th                     day of              Mch.               , 1890, at near
               Chester                             , County of                 Crawford                         ,
State of            Ark.                              , before me,         H. N. Patton                    , a
Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared            Eliza                   
                    Lewis                             , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to her during this Special Examination of
aforesaid pension claim, deposes and says:  I will be 37 years old in July  :
married lady  :  P. O. address Chester Crawford Co. Ark.
     The claimt. is my grandma.  James Shipley, her
son, died at my mothers house - Betsey Shipley.  He
was taken sick suddenly and lived about 19 days.
I was not at home when he was taken sick, but went
home the next day I think.  It was said that he died
with some kind of fever, pneumonia I think.  I
don't recollect the date of his death; he died in the fall and
I was 18 in July following.  I remember that he was
out of his right mind most of the time.  I know he
was when I went home.  I cant tell for certain how he
complained but I think the misery was in his left side.
The talk was that the cause of his being sick was
being out in the army.  I think he did maybe have some
lung trouble.  I did the work and ma staid with him.
No Sir:  I don't recollect of him having any breaking out.
There was none on his face that I recollect of.  After
his death you could smell him all over the house.
They just thought he had some kind of fever but I can't
say whether it was pneumonia or not.  Dr. Bashon came
to see him, but came too late.
     James health was not good before he got sick.  I don't
recollect just how he complained only he complained
of not being very well.  He never looked very healthy.
     I have no interest in the claim.
I have understood the questions asked
and my answers have been correctly

Mother's Maiden Name:    Shipley
Father's Surname:   Lewis 1875 - 1928 William Franklin Lewis 52 52 Something is wrong with the information about this family.  Pearlie Lee Tennessee Lewis is listed as widowed in the 1900 census when she is found living with her parents but then in 1920 she is listed with two Lewis sons born after 1900 so how could she be widowed?  Also other researchers say that Franklin Lewis died in 1928 because of the Texas death certificate of a William Franklin Lewis born in 1875 in Arkansas to a father, D W Lewis and died 1928 in Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas.  The Franklin Lewis found in the 1880 census for Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas is not the Franklin who married Susie since his death record gives his full name as Frank Redmond Lewis b. 1873 and died 1958. 

Arkansas Marriages 1851-1900 on Ancestry.com, c.1998-2000 MyFamily.com Inc. and its subsidiaries lists a marriage for Franklin A. Lewis and Tennie McCaslin the 4th of May, 1896 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  His name is definitely written Franklin A. Lewis in the original marriage record for Franklin and Tennie. 

It is not proved that William Franklin Lewis is the same person as Franklin Lewis, son of David Walker Lewis but I am now using his birth and death dates for Franklin A. Lewis.  It appears they are the same person.  I have found no other Franklin Lewis who fits William Franklin Lewis.  Did he change his name to William Franklin????  It appears from the death certificate for William Franklin Lewis that he was mentally ill.  He was said to be insane for several years before he drowned himself.  Elizabeth Lewis, sister to Franklin A. Lewis also killed herself.

Social Security Number: 547-46-6939 1827 - 1863 Nathan Pascal SHIPLEY 35 35 Nathan Pascal Shipley, Sr. was born the 27th of May, 1827(1)  near Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee, USA(2)  the first child of Benjamin Franklin Shipley, Sr. and Sarah Sally Burkett.(3)   Nathan is listed as a laborer living with the Lester family on the 1850 Arkansas census.(4)   He married Elizabeth "Betsey"(5)  Mildred Lester(6)  the 28th of October, 1851 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  Elizabeth was born the 31st of July, 1831(7)  in Cedarville, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA the first child of William Thomas Lester and Margaret Elizabeth Talkington.  She was the sister of Mary Sharp Lester, the wife of Benjamin Shipley, Jr., Nathan's brother.  Elizabeth could read and write.  They had six children all born in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA who also all became literate.  Eliza Jane was born in 1852; William Lester was born in 1854, Thomas Wilson was born in 1855, James Wright was born in 1858, Nathan Pascal, Jr. was born in 1860, and Jefferson S. was born in 1862.  In 1858 Nathan received a land warrant for section 2-11-31 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.(8)  

In 1860 Nathan's mother, Sarah, was living with Nathan and Elizabeth or in a dwelling next door to them (probably on Nathan's property).(9)   His two younger brothers were living with Sarah:  James age 12 and Elijah age 10.  Sarah "Sally" Shipley had been abandoned by her husband and left quite destitute.  She had no land of her own. 

Nathan died the 22nd of February, 1863 in Crawford County Arkansas at the age of 35.  There are several conflicting versions about Nathan's early death(10)  but the one that seems most likely is that Nathan was hanged with his brother, Richard, by bushwhackers (more criminals than soldiers) during the Civil War.(11)   Relatives, who live out in the area, say they can show the spot where the two were hanged.  Richard Shipley deserted the Confederates and was hanged by the rebels according to military records and Susan Arabella's testimony from the James Shipley pension record.(12)   She was Nathan's sister and the wife of 1) Young E. Reynolds and later, 2) William Thomas Crabtree.

Sarah Caroline "Sally" Shipley Bowers related this story to R. Cecil Shipley the 9th of June, 1998.(13)   She said in 1959, six years before his death, her father, Benjamin Harrison Shipley, Sr. told her of a conversation he had with his father, William Lester Shipley, when William was lucid and mentally capable.  She said her father was still disturbed by the story and found it difficult to discuss.  William was nine when his father, Nathan Pascal Shipley died.

"William Lester, father of Elizabeth Lester who married Nathan Pascal Shipley, owned the land around where Oliver Cemetery is located today.  Nathan Shipley helped William Lester clear the land.  Eventually, he married Elizabeth Lester and they bought 120 acres in Chester, Arkansas, at $1.25 per acre.  Nathan and Elizabeth homesteaded another 80 acres so that they had 200 acres.

Chester, Arkansas is situated in a mountainous region containing numerous caves.  During the Civil War bushwhackers lived in the caves and stored stolen goods in them.  The bushwhackers raped and pillaged at will in the area surrounding Chester.  Eventually, the Federal troops moved into the area and began raiding the caves and capturing the goods and ammunition stored in them.  The bushwhackers believed Young Reynolds was a spy and had told the Federals which caves to raid and search.  Young Reynolds was married to Nathan's sister, Susan Arabella Shipley. 

A group of bushwhackers rode into the yard of Elizabeth and Nathan Pascal Shipley at first light on the morning of February 22, 1863.  The bushwhackers roused all of the family from sleep and herded them outside into the front yard.  The family included Nathan Shipley, Elizabeth Shipley, their six children ages 1 through 10, and Richard Shipley, the brother of Nathan.  The bushwhackers hanged Nathan and Richard in the front yard in front of the rest of the family. (Young E. Runnels/Reynolds was also murdered in 1863.)

Later, the Shipley house burned and Elizabeth lived with Eliza Jane Shipley, older sister of William Lester Shipley, who married David Walker Lewis.  Later, Eliza supposedly bought the Shipley property."

Sally Shipley Bowers said she doubts that Nathan Shipley voluntarily was involved in activities for either side during the war.  He wanted to live in the mountains and not be involved in the war.  She also doubts the story about Nathan going to Little Rock and organizing a company of men to fight with the Federals.  She didn't know how Young Reynolds died.

Elisabeth Minerva Shipley said,

"My great grandfather was about 5 when Nathan was murdered.  Elizabeth lived on the farm with Jefferson, her youngest child.  The other children were dispersed among family members.  Jefferson was supposed to care for his mother, but he was lazy.  Elizabeth died of a broken back when she tried to lift a sack of potatoes in her old age."

After the Civil War, Nathan's mother and brother, Sarah and James, lived on Elizabeth's property for two or three years until they moved to government land nearby.(14)   It appears that James was in poor health and often unable to work.  They were very poor.  When James became ill in 1869, Elizabeth cared for him in her home for about three weeks until he died.  Sarah said that a grandchild was living with her when James died.(15)   Could this have been one of Elizabeth's fatherless children?  In 1880 Elizabeth had three sons living with her:  Thomas, James, and Jefferson.(16)   They were working on the farm.  Eliza Jane and her family lived next door.(17)   William Lester Shipley was living with the Albert Rainwater family in Lees Creek where he worked on their farm.  Elizabeth died the 1st of October, 1882(18)  in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  Nathan and she are both buried in Oliver Cemetery near Cedarville, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.

(2)  From Lynne Chandler:  Eloda (Lavender) Shipley’s family notes state:
                              " Note Always
     Rev. T. W. Shipley states his father Nathan born near Knoxville Tenn and that the family was from Baltymore Md.  never failed to      stress the blue-blood that was in the family-
     Also made mention often of the three brothers who came to America from England.
     All Shipleys up to his generation tall slender build - blond hair light blue eyes.  Noted for their good speaking voices. Singing                    voices - splendid manners.  In fact rather snobbish.
     However there is much to be proud of in your Shipley blood."

(10)  One unsubstantiated version says that he was forced to fight with the Confederates during the battle of Prairie Grove.  He subsequently went to Little Rock and organized a company of 100 men ready to enlist with the North.  The men were planning to elect a captain.  Everyone suspected that Nathan would be elected, but a rival wanted to be captain.  The men took turns cooking meals for the company.  When it was the turn of the rival to cook, he prepared Nathan a plate of poisoned food.  [Lynne Chandler has a note from someone that says, "Elizabeth Lester Shipley couldn’t get a pension because she couldn’t prove Nathan died a Union soldier.  He died of a poisoned drink.  Old Nathan got up a company of 100 men for the union (after being forced to fight for Confederates at Prairie Grove)."]  Another version says it was at a celebration dinner that he was poisoned.

(11)  Lynne Chandler has a letter written by William Curtis Shipley where he says, "The Lester’s & Shipley’s were Northern Methodist or Republican Methodist, had no slaves & had union sympathies.  Nathan Shipley and his brother Richard Shipley were killed in their front yard during the civil war.  Elizabeth Shipley was left with several small children, Nathan P. Shipley, James Wright Shipley, William Lester & T. Wilson Shipley among them."

The following information is from A History of Hamilton County, Tennessee, USA by James W. Livingwood, Memphis State University Press, Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee, USA, 38152, ©1981.

1819 - The north bank of the Tennessee River opposite an island called Oo-le-quah by the Cherokees (Dallas Island) was marked off as the reservation of Fox Taylor.  It was later transferred to his brother, Richard.  Richard later sold it to Asabel Rawlings. (p68)

1821 - 821 people lived in Hamilton County, mostly in the Sale Creek area.  (Page 400)  The first court was supposedly held at the tavern of Hasten Poe on Poe's Cross Roads, now the town of Daisy.  (Page 89-90)

By 1823 - The state legislature changed the location of the court to the home of John Mitchell, about one mile from the place then being used. (Page 90)

"1822 Asabel Rawlings became postmaster at the new office at Hamilton County Courthouse.  Eleven years later the name of the village changed to Dallas. . . .The next year the little town of about two hundred inhabitants proudly reported having one lawyer, two doctors, four stores, two taverns, and a blacksmith shop.  A century later it became a deserted village under the waters of the Chickamauga Lake."  (Page 90)

"Igou bought a lot in Dallas from Nathan Shipley."

1871 Dallas Island was part of James County unitl James County merged with Hamilton County in 1919.  (Page 1)

1881 - South of Soddy a cluster of homes was named the town of Daisy.  Page 266

1936 - Construction started on the Chickamauga Dam.(Page 399) 900 families and 425 graves were moved.  Wolftever, Soddy, Sale, and Oppossum creeks became embayments, with water pushed up to the town of Soddy.  The old Indian site of Dallas appears only as a small island. (Page 400)

Retro was a railroad station for the Cincinnati Railroad.  The name was later changed to Bakewell.  (Page 265)

"The cemetery is called Retro Hughes Cemetery.  William Nathan Shipley and Nathan Taylor Shipley, sons of Nathan Shipley, are buried here.  Other Shipley may be buried there as most of the tombstones have been destroyed."

"When the Welsh arrived, the village of Soddy consisted of only a few scattered houses"  Page 266

"Some researchers believe Hannah Hughes was Welsh."

1969 - The towns of Soddy and Daisy incorporated to form a twin city.  (Page 426)

Find A Grave Memorial# 29627712 1831 - 1882 Elizabeth Mildred LESTER 51 51 Elizabeth "Betsey"(1)  Mildred Lester(2) was born the 31st of July, 1831(3)  in Cedarville, Crawford County, Arkansas, the first child of William Thomas Lester and Margaret Elizabeth Talkington.  She could read and write.  William Lester, father of Elizabeth Lester, owned the land around where Oliver Cemetery is located today.  Nathan Pascal Shipley, Sr. helped William Lester clear the land.  He is listed as a laborer living with the Lester family on the 1850 Arkansas census.(4)  He married Elizabeth Lester the 28th of October, 1851 in Crawford County, Arkansas and they bought 120 acres in Chester, Arkansas, at $1.25 per acre.  Nathan and Elizabeth homesteaded another 80 acres so that they had 200 acres.

Nathan was born the 27th of May, 1827(5)  near Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee(6)  the first child of Benjamin Franklin Shipley, Sr. and Sarah Sally Burkett.(7)   He was the brother of Benjamin Shipley, Jr. who married Elizabeth's sister, Mary Sharp Lester.   Nathan and Elizabeth had six children all born in Crawford County, Arkansas who also all became literate.  Eliza Jane was born in 1852; William Lester was born in 1854, Thomas Wilson was born in 1855, James Wright was born in 1858, Nathan Pascal, Jr. was born in 1860, and Jefferson S. was born in 1862.  In 1858 Nathan received a land warrant for section 2-11-31 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.(8) 

In 1860 Nathan's mother, Sarah, was living with Nathan and Elizabeth or in a dwelling next door to them (probably on Nathan's property).   His two younger brothers were living with Sarah:  James age 12 and Elijah age 10.  Sarah "Sally" Shipley had been abandoned by her husband and left quite destitute.  She had no land of her own.

Nathan died the 22nd of February, 1863 in Crawford County, Arkansas at the age of 35.
Later, the Shipley house burned and Elizabeth lived with Eliza Jane Shipley who married David Walker Lewis.  Later, Eliza supposedly bought the Shipley property."

Elisabeth Minerva Shipley said,

"My great grandfather was about 5 when Nathan was murdered.  Elizabeth lived on the farm with Jefferson, her youngest child.  The other children were dispersed among family members.  Jefferson was supposed to care for his mother, but he was lazy.  Elizabeth died of a broken back when she tried to lift a sack of potatoes in her old age."

After the Civil War, Nathan's mother and brother, Sarah and James, lived on Elizabeth's property for two or three years until they moved to government land nearby.(9)   It appears that James was in poor health and often unable to work.  They were very poor.  When James became ill in 1869, Elizabeth cared for him in her home for about three weeks until he died.  Sarah said that a grandchild was living with her when James died.(10)   Could this have been one of Elizabeth's fatherless children?  In 1880 Elizabeth had three sons living with her:  Thomas, James, and Jefferson.(11)   They were working on the farm.  Eliza Jane and her family lived next door.(12)   William Lester Shipley was living with the Albert Rainwater family in Lees Creek where he worked on their farm.  Elizabeth died the 1st of October, 1882(13)  in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  Nathan and she are both buried in Oliver Cemetery near Cedarville, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.

"All the family spoke of how sweet, kind, patient, and loving Juda was but William was bad tempered and hot-headed.  Ethel always said her dad was pretty hard on the boys, using the razor strap freely."(6)   He was elected Justice of the Peace of Cedar Creek Township in Crawford County, Arkansas the 6th of September, 1886.(7)   He was literate and helped his grandmother, Sarah Shipley, apply for a pension as a dependent of her son, James.  In 1890 the special examiner for the case described William this way:

"W.L. Shipley, an imspossible (sic) person whose standing for truth is not good in his community.  He is not "overly" bright being rather a "smart aleck," ...W. L. Shipley would stoop to almost anything to gain his point and it would not surprise me that he offered witnesses money to testify.  He testifies himself that in case his grandmother got a full pension he was to get $50."(8)

William and Juda later lived in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas where he worked as a butcher.(9)   She died the 11th of September, 1942 in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas.  He died the 10th of June, 1938 in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas. They are both buried in the Forest Park Cemetery in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas.(10)

Hn. Green B. Raum
     Commissioner of Pensions
          Washington D.C.
Sir:
     I have the honor to return this paper
and to submit my report in the above indicate
claim, which was referred to the S.E. Div to
determine incurrence of soldiers disability
in service and also dependence, contributions
date + cause of death.
     The claimant was properly notified
and her rights fully explained to her.
     Claimant is pretty old and was in
quite feeble health when I was there.  The
case was opened up in March and
on account of the comrades living in
so many different localities I have been
unable to complete it until now.
     A short history of this event seems
to be:  that several years prior to the war
Page 3

Claimants husband, being a pretty hard
case, left her and never returned, or aided
her in anyway in caring for the little
ones; but when the war came up James,
to soldier, and "Lige" were her only support
and dependence.  "Lige" is about a half witted
fellow not smart or intelligent by
any means; that James was vaccinnated
while in the service, but how, when or by
whose orders the testimony fails to show, and
his mother went after him, brought him
home and nursed him until his arm
got well; that in 1869 - Sept. while pulling
fodder for a brother, decd. he became
overheated, took suddenly sick at his
Aunts, decd. and died of typhoid fever
in 19 days there after; that Claimt. Never
applied for back bounty and never filed
her claim for pension, as a dependent
mother, until Sept. 1888.
     John T. Dotson, a comrade of doubtful
veracity, testifies before me that soldier was
vaccinnated at Waldron Scott Co. Ark in Sept.
1864; that soldier died of fever + had no
sores, pimples or blisters on him +c.  Compare
this with his former affidavit (B.J. 6)
     Wm. Y. Oliver a comrade of good repute
testifies that he only knows that soldier was
vaccinnated by hearsay.  However was one
on his arm 5 or 6 months before he (depment)
Page 4


Enlisted (Oct. 1864) and never saw anything
but the scar after enlistment.  Never saw
any skin eruptions +c. Vaccinnated in right
arm this time (In BJ.7)
     This claim has been worked up
by a grandson, W.L. Shipley, an imspossible person
whose standing for truth is not good in his
community.  He is not "overly" bright
being rather a "smart aleck", if I am
permitted to use that expression.  Wm Oliver
(B.J. 7) told me in a conversation after I had
taken his evidence that they had promisd
him $10.00 for making the affidavit in case
the claim was allowed.  He could not be
qualified which one of the family it was,
but was under the impression it was "Lige"
the half witted fellow.  W. L. Shipley would
stoop to almost anything to gain his point
and it would not surprise me that he offered
witnesses money to testify.  He testifies himself that
in case his grandmother got a full pension
he was to get $50.
     In coming to a conclusion in this
case, I will briefly say, that in my
opinion, the soldier was vaccinnated
while in the service, but that it never
hurt him in the least - nothing spurious
about the virus.  It is a fact that soldiers
brother, Park Shipley, decd. had a terrible skin
disease and died a terrible death.  I believe
they are trying to mixed these two brothers up
Page 5


that soldier died in Sept. 1869
of typhoid fever brought on no doubt
by over exhaustion ?  ??? pulling fodder
and that his death causes no way
connected with the service.  I believe
the claim to be spurious and void
of merit, and I there fore recommend
rejection.
Very respectfully
H. N. Patton
Special Examiner

PS. Geo. Wells + W N. Moore (Inlist) knew
nothing for or against and I did not take
their evidence.

DEPOSITION ________
Case of                   Sarah Shipley                             ,   No.          379,798           

On this              22                       day of                Mch.                , 1890 , at
                 Chester                            , County of               Crawford                        ,
State of             Ark.                               , before me,          H. N. Patton                , a
Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared             W. L.               
               Shipley                                , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this Special Examination of aforesaid
pension claim, deposes and says:  I am 36 years old  :  occupation
farmer  :  P. O. address Chester Crawford Co, Ark.
     The claimant is my grandma.
James Shipley died at my mothers.  He was
working at our house when he was taken sick.
I wouldn't be qualified whether he was pulling fodder
or not; Why yes I've heard it said that he was over heated
pulling fodder but I couldn't swear to it.  It was
supposed that he died from the effects of vaccinnation.
I have heard some say that it might have been
some kind of fever that he died with but I don't know
of course.  I was only 16 years old but I helped
to wait on him.  I did not help wash and dress him
but I was present.  I can't say how long he was sick.
I did not know how he acted when he was first
taken.  I can't say whether he was taken suddenly
or not.  It has been too long ago.  He might have
been complaining 2 or 3 wks for what I know.  I
have assisted the old lady in getting up her claim.
I can't ????? give you any of the symptoms of his
last illness - it has been too long ago.  Quite a long
time before he was taken sick I saw him take off his
shirt a hundred times and wring it.  I've seen him
work for hrs at a time without any shirt on. And I remember
his body was of a purple color all over.  I would never
have noticed it, but then I heard him speak about
it and I heard him ask my ma to look at his
hands + body.  At the time of this death I noticed
Page     46   Deposition    O  

Page    47   
some little breaking out around on his face like.  I
can't say where abouts on his face.  It was just blisters.
I cant tell you whether there were any sores or ulcers
or scabs on his face.  He was just broke out like
measles or something.  Why yes I noticed a sore
on his arm, the same arm that I was vaccinnated
in.  That was after he was dead.  Well, it was a scar
and sore together.  There were little sores broke out all
around that scar where he was vaccinnated.  That
scar was just below the elbow and was about 4 inches
long + 1 ½ inches across.  I wouldn't swear point blank
to anything.  That is all the sores or ulcers I noticed on
him.  I can't give any of the symptoms of his last illness
other than above stated.  Cant say whether he was feverish
+ wanted water, or whether he complained of his left side
or of his breast.  I never noticed any thing the matter with
his lungs.  All I ever noticed was his body was
purple + he had a breaking out.  Yes, Sir I have heard
James Shipley speak about old Nan. Blevins, but I don't
remember any thing about it now.  Well, I cant tell you what
kind of a character she has.  She is considered a pretty straight
old lady as far as I know.
     I have heard former affidavit read and the
facts therein are correct.
The old lady told me if I'd get up the evidence
she would pay me well for it.  She told me that if she got
a part pension she would give me $25.00 and if she would
get a full pension she would give me $50.00.  It was just a
verbal contract.  Taylor was her Agt.
I have understood the questions asked, and you
have written my answers down correctly.

Being duly sworn, declare in relation to aforesaid case, as follows:

Am nephew of deceased soldier.  Know him and
Claimant from my earliest recollection which is distinct
back to 1866.  Soldier rented land from my mother and
lived on our place two or three years, he finally made
a settlement on government lands near us and lived
with his mother the claimant until he died.
Said soldier was Claimants entire support as long as
he lived.  Claimant and said soldier were very
poor people and were dependent on his daily labor
for a living.  All the property they had would not
amount to over $50 they had one or two cows and one pony.
Claimant has no property now except her weaving Apponl
Not worth $10.00.  He was in bad health all the time
Seemed in great suffering.  I have heard him say fifty times
That he was vaccinated with poisonous matter.  When
he would work one day he would be laid up for a day
or so

      He   further declare that  he has  no interes in said case, and is not concerned in
its prosecution.  From 1866 to time of his death said soldier
was not able to do ½  work of an ordinary well man.
He was frequently every month layed up not able
to do any work at all.  His left arm was
disabled looked red like you would peel off an old
sore that arm was sore all the time

DEPOSITION ________
Case of Sarah Shipley,   No. 379,798             

On this 20 day of Mch., 1890, at
Near Chester, County of Crawford,
State of Ark., before me, H. N. Patton, a
Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared J. W. Shipley, who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this Special Examination of aforesaid pension claim, deposes and says:  I will be 31 years old the 23rd of July next:  occupation farmer:  P.O. address Chester Crawford Co Ark.
     The claimant is my grand mother.  Uncle James Shipley died at my mother's house.  He had come over there one night to stay all night.  We were all stringing beans and he remarked that he wanted to help string them because he wanted to eat a big mess to morrow.  He was taken sick ???? night and he was out of his head and it took two or three to hold him in bed.  I know that he got so bad that I went after his mother that night.  I was scared out of my head almost and being so young I don't remember how he complained.  I know he throwed up green looking stuff that night.  He was sick at mothers house something over two wks. Before he died.  They didn't have any doctor until it was too late.  Bashom doctored him.  He was down helping his brother Park Shipley, dec'd. pulling fodder about a wk. before he was taken sick at our house and he said he worked a little too hard.  He never was a stout man since the war and when he would work a little too hard it would lay him up. 
                He had no breaking out that I recollect of seeing.  I don't remember seeing any sores or scabs on his face  Before or after he died.  I don't know the cause of his disability.  I think the army exposure was the cause of it.  I heard him "Cuss" old Mrs. Betsey Blevins because he said she was the cause of him going into the army.  She scared him into it

Page     37    Deposition    K   

Page      38   
and made him believe the rebels were coming after him.  If it had not been for her he would not have gone into the army.  He blamed his disability on to her because she scared him into the army.  Oh yes she was a decent woman.  She was a woman of good character.  I never
heard him "cuss" any other woman.  I heard him say that he "Cussed" her in the army; that is it had not been for her he would have been a stout man to day.  I didn't mean to say that I heard him "Cuss" Mrs. Blevins.  I heard him say he had cussed her (Mrs. Blevins) while he was in the service.
     I never heard of what complaint he died.  I have no interest in the claim.
     I have understood the questions asked.  And my answers have been correctly recorded in this affidavit.

             Chester                              , County of               Crawford                           ,

this month  :  occupation teacher:  P.O. address
Chester Crawford Co. Ark.
     The claimant in this case is my grandmother.
I was but 10 years old when my Uncle James Shipley
died, but I remember where the bed was and just how
he looked.  He died at my mother's house and I was
present when he died.  He died of some kind of fever
but I don't know whether it was pneumonia or typhoid.
I know he was sick a wk or over, but that is guess
work.  I saw them dress him and I remember his legs
and arms were very small - nothing but skin + bones
and his limbs were spotted - black spotted.  I don't
remember that there were any sores or ulcers on his
legs or arms.  I can't remember seeing any breaking
out on his face.  I heard them talking about him being
broke out on the breast.  He made our house his home
nearly.  He had been working pulling fodder somewhere
and he came to our house that night - the night he
was taken sick.  I think he was pulling fodder for
my Uncle Park Shipley, dec'd.  I don't remember how
he acted when taken sick.  I remember about him
taking sick at our house sometime in the night and
remaining there until he died and it was always my
understanding that he died with some kind of fever
either pneumonia or typhoid, and I heard that he overheated
himself pulling fodder - all of them were talking about
it while he was sick.  And that is about all I do know.

Kimes Boys' Father Killed at Bowlegs
Neiley Kimes shot by officers while resisting arrest on bootlegging charge

Another chapter was written Thursday in the Kimes family criminal history, when Neiley Kimes, father of George and Matthew Kimes was shot by an officer while resisting arrest at Bow Legs. The Southwest American had the following article regarding the killing in Friday morning's edition:

Neiley Kimes, father of George and Matthew Kimes, Oklahoma bandits, now in the state penitentiary at McAlester, was shot and killed late last Thursday near Bowlegs, an oil town, by Jack Sparks, Deputy sheriff of Seminole County.

Shaw Nelm, Jim Clinton and Sparks went to raid an establishment Kimes maintained near Bowlegs, after watching him for several days as a bootleg suspect.

As the officers approached, Kimes emerged from the building and raised an automatic to fire at Nelm, the deputies said. At the same time another man, who has not been identified, ran from the house and attacked Clinton with an axe.

Sparks fired, he says, as Kimes raised his gun to shoot Nelm, and then went to the assistance of Clinton. The man with the axe was captured, but refused to give his name, while a third man who ran from the house during the fighting, escaped.

Nellie and Jessie Kimes, who were at the home at the time of the shooting, were taken to Wewoka by the deputies, because they are said to have thrown glass fruit jars at the officers during the fight, but they were released later.

Kimes had been convicted and fined a few days ago by Justice of the Peace Cose of Bowlegs on a liquor charge. He had promised to return later and pay the fine, but had not kept his promise, and because of this deputies had secured a search warrant, intending to raid the Kimes place again and bring him in to pay the fine as well as search for liquor, they said.

Neiley Kimes, who was shot and killed by a deputy sheriff near Bowlegs, Thursday afternoon, left Van Buren, several months ago, following the death of his wife, who died May 31, 1927.

The parents of George and Matthew Kimes were residents of Van Buren durng the career of their sons as bank bandits. At the time of his mother's death, Matthew Kimes was a fugitive from justice. When he was captured several weeks later he declared that he was in Van Buren the night his mother died. A sister Nellie Kimes resides in Van Buren.

March 4, 1928
Nellie Kimes, pretty sister of the famed Kimes brothers bank robbers, is in jail in Holdenville charged with two other persons in the slaying of George Epperley, Hughes County farmer. Nellie moved to Sasakwa from Van Buren, Arkansas, when her mother died and her brothers were sent to prison. She has been working in oil field dance halls around Sasakwa, she told peace officers.

April 10, 1928
Nellie Kimes went to trial in Holdenville today, one of three charged with the death of a man beaten and stabbed to death east of Sasakwa.

June 24, 1928
C. Kimes, father of famous outlaw Matt Kimes was shot to death late yesterday at his home on Little River south of Bowlegs, Kimes is reported to have been resisting arrest.

June 25, 1928
Nellie and Jessie Kimes, daughters of Cornelius Kimes, father of Matt Kimes, watched as deputy sheriff Jake Sparks shot and killed Kimes on Little River south of Bowlegs yesterday. Both girls were at their father’s home when officers arrived. Kimes resisted the raid and was shot and killed. The girls threw fruit jars at the officers.

July 14, 1928
The Producer reported ouster charges will be filed against Grady Nelson, Brown Township constable who was involved with the recently discharged "dollar deputies."

Three of the "dollar deputies" may be charged with murder in the recent death of Cornelius Kimes, father of Matt Kimes. The Producer reported the elder Kimes was killed at his home south of Bowlegs recently when he resisted a raid on his home by the deputies.
July 17, 1928

Nellie Kimes went to Oklahoma City Monday. She will tell Edwin Dabney, attorney general, and W.O. Gordon, his assistant, who is investigating conditions in Seminole county, about the killing of her father, Cornelious Kimes by Jack Sparks, Shaw Nelms and Jim Clinton.

Nellie, a good looking girl of 17, low voiced and a bit crumpled after her recent experience, was located by Jake Sims, police chief Sunday.

Sims accompanied her to Oklahoma City and will be present at the hearing.

Nellie, after visiting an uncle near McAlester, and spending a day with her brothers at the penitentiary, returned to Seminole last Tuesday, but departed that night while officers searched for her, here and elsewhere in the state.

The girl is the most wanted person in Oklahoma. She was not wanted for crime, but to help clear up the shooting of here father by Jack Sparks, Shaw Nelms and Jim Clinton, one time Dollar Deputies.

Nellie witnessed the slaying of her father, but she refused to talk for publication.

Jack Sparks shot Cornelious Kimes down without warning or without provocation, according to witnesses, who told their story to Edwin Dabney, attorney general, and Home Bishop, county attorney, at Oklahoma City Monday.

"They shot him down like a mad dog," one witness was quoted as saying. Warrants were issued here Monday night by Homer Bishop, county attorney, for the arrest of Sparks, Shaw Nelms and Jim Clinton, charging them with the murder of Kimes.

The complaint was signed by Nellie Kimes, daughter of the dead man. The warrants were placed in the hands of J.A. Doyle, sheriff of Seminole county, with instructions to serve them at once
  July 26, 1928

Jess Pollock, city police desk sergeant, was returning Nellie and Jesse Kimes from Ponca City to Seminole to testify in the shooting of the girl’s father. Pollock’s car, hitting a curve at top of a hill, turned over twice "spreading the occupants over the landscape." No one was seriously injured.

William McAlister, was born in Scotland, according to family records, or Dorcester Co., MD, based on his Revolutionary War pension application, on March 23, 1762. The family version portrays William emigrating with brother James to Fort Baltimore, MD c. 1778. He then enlisted as a private for two and a half years in the American patriots army before his discharge in 1780. He migrated to North Carolina while brother James went to Kentucky two years later. William married Martha Hambright in 1783 and their first son, Athial, was born the following year, reportedly in MD. Following were John (1787), William (1788, NC), Jessie (1791, NC), Mary (1795), Martha (1800) and Ezekiel (1802). The eighth and final child was Wesley (Aug. 15, 1802 - Sept. 6, 1880), the great-grandfather of Tull Campbell. William McAlister later remarried to Henrietta Shipley on May 5, 1828 in Hamilton Co., TN and was awarded in Revolutionary pension in September 1832. William McALLISTER died Oct. 3, 1842, in Bradley or McMinn Co., TN, at the home of his youngest son, Wesley in 1840.
(It is proved he lived in Bradley County, Tennessee in 1842 because of a lawsuit.)

Wesley McAlister married Sarah Hellum/Hellams (March 27, 1806-Jan. 29, 1898) about 1822 in GA or McMinn Co., TN near the Georgia border. Tully's maternal grandfather, William H. McAlister (Dec. 15, 1823 - Aug. 30, 1895), moved to Georgia, where he met his wife Sarah A. (Sept. 1, 1836 - after 1900) and raised their children.

Good Digging In
The National Archives
by Robert M. McAllister
August, 2001

  The records which most genealogists use at the National Archives (NA) in Washington, DC, and in the Regional Centers, are the microfilmed census and other material, like military service records. There are a lot of other paper records of interest to genealogical researchers, some of which are poorly indexed. To help genealogists locate these records, some authors have published finding aids, which are used by a small staff of research assistants. In two recent trips to the NA, I was fortunate in being helped by two of the latter.

                 Wanda Shelton asked me to locate five pension records in a group referred to as the "Lost Pensions." My first attempt to locate these records was on Monday, August 27. Room 410 in the NA is the place to find the indexes, and where the Reference Service Slips are filled out, so that the actual records can be brought to Room 203 for your inspection, and copying. After describing what I wanted, the reference assistants brought out a well-thumbed book, "Records of the Accounting Officers of the Department of the Treasury, Inventory 14 (Revised), Record Group 217," compiled by William F. Sherman, with additions and index by Craig R. Scott, CGRS, Willow Bend Books, Lovettsville, VA, 1997. It appeared that Entry #722, Final Payment Vouchers, Third Auditors Office, contained what I wanted.

                 After submitting the service slips, I went to Room 203 and waited for the records to be brought to my desk. Three McAllister files were in the retrieved records. The first file in Box 12 consisted of papers describing the pension awarded William McCallister (W10) on September 18, 1833. His pension was eighty dollars a year, paid for wounds and disabilities received for services rendered to the United States during the Revolutionary War. He had served in Captain Sullivan's Infantry Company. He had been residing in Bradley County,TN for five years, and before that he lived in McMinn County, TN. The original pension was approved by Lewis Cass, Secretary of War. In 1842, a further confirmation of the pension was signed by a Justice of the Peace in Bradley County, and was witnessed by John Hambright. The last item in the file was a voucher for $40.00, dated October 31, 1842. William had died on October 3, 1842.

                 I should emphasize that I reviewed the actual paper records. They have not been microfilmed.

                 The second file, in Box 17, was for James McAllister who died in Henry County, KY, on November 30, 1849. A certificate filed in Jefferson County, KY named the estate administrator. The form for recording his death, and ending of his pension payments of twenty dollars a month, noted that he left no widow. There is no record of this James McAllister in the CMA computer data base.

                 The third file, also in Box 17, was for John McAlister, who died in Logan County, KY, on November 27, 1828. Other Kentucky counties in which records were filed were Todd and Fayette. Ephraim McAllister, a son of John, certified the date of death. John had been receiving a Revolutionary War pension of eight dollars a month since July 21, 1818. There is no record of this John McAlister in the CMA computer data base.

                 I could find no index for this series, Entry #722, Final Payment Vouchers. There may be more McAllister records in them.

                 After copying these files, I returned to Room 410, where I reviewed the reference book cited above. The exact description of the five files in Wanda Shelton's request, "Settled Accounts for Payment of Accrued Pensions," was found in Entry #724, rather than #722. I decided to return and copy the files in that group.

                 On Friday, August 31, I went back to NA Room 410, filled out the slips for the five files in Entry #724, and turned them in. Mr. Charles Johnson who had helped me on August 27, decided to take me into the stacks to locate the boxes. Using the Box numbers in Wanda's request, which were the same as in Craig Scott's book in the NA copy of "Lost Pensions," we could not locate any of the files. We returned to Room 410, where we talked to the research specialist who had worked with Scott when the records were indexed. He told us that the box numbers had been changed. He helped us to determine the correct ones. With this new information, we went back into the stacks, and found the files we were looking for. Mr. Johnson put the boxes on a cart and took them to Room 203, where I signed them out for review.

                 The first file (#2658, in Box 272) was for Henrietta, widow of William McAllister (W10). Essentially, the file contains the records for stopping William's Revolutionary War veteran's pension of eighty dollars a month, since Henrietta had died on November 15, 1858. The correspondence continued into 1860. There is no information in the file mentioning anyone of interest other than Henrietta and William.

                 The second file (#8105, in Box 58) was for Joseph McAllister (J18), who died in Pulaski, KY, July 22, 1833. Although he left no widow, the following children, with their counties of residence, are contained in the documents: Robert (Pulaski); Harvey (Pulaski) George (Knox, KY); John (Greenup, KY) and Adam (Dixon, TN). Witnesses to one of the documents were Joseph M., James and Nathaniel McAlister, and Jefferson Gilmore. These McAllisters were probably Joseph's brothers. Nancy Gilmore had been Joseph's wife. I believe that Nathaniel is N07, and that James may be JA03. Joseph had been awarded a pension of eighty dollars a month on March 3, 1831. His five sons probably continued to receive an equal share that amount for the rest of their lives. Although Joseph and Nancy Gilmore McAllister had a daughter Martha, she is not mentioned in the documents, probably because she died before 1833.

                 The third file (#6587, in Box 273) was for Daniel McAlister (D14) of Shelby County, KY, who died August 21, 1846. He had lived there for forty one years, and had come from Virginia. His wife Susan had died several years prior to1846. His heirs were his daughters Lucy Carson and Nancy Harris. They applied for the balance of his pension of thirty six dollars a month, in Oldham County, KY. The D14 file in the CMA computer data base does not list Daniel's wife's name. The death dates for their son Samuel and daughter Susannah can be shown as prior to August 1846.

                 The fourth file (#1548 in Box 220) was for John McAlllister (A17-3) of Richmond County, NC, who died December 24, 1848. He had lived in Richmond County for sixty years before his death and had previously resided in Kintyre, Scotland. His widow Sarah made a claim for the continuation of his pension of sixty dollars a month, on March 15, 1852.

                 The fifth file (#6759 in Box 274) was for John McCallister, discharged Private of Captain Nesmith's Company of Oregon Mounted Volunteers. The papers were filed in Marion County, Oregon Territory. John McCallister had fought in the Indian War with the Yakima Indians on the Rogue River in southwest Oregon near the California border in 1853. There is no family file in the CMA data base for this John McCallister.

                 The research in the NA was well worth the effort. Solid, well-documented information was discovered about four CMA family lines, plus some information about three families we did not even know existed.

                 This experience taught me that it pays to be persistent, even when researching in the National Archives.

William McAlister Fought In The Revolutionary War
Monday, September 02, 2002 - by John Wilson

William McAlister was a Revolutionary War soldier who made his way from Maryland to Bradley County. A number of his descendants have been prominent in Hamilton County. The name has been spelled variously.

William McAlister was born March 23, 1762 in Dorchestor County, Md. He married Henrietta Shipley on May 8, 1828, in Hamilton County. She died Nov. 15, 1857, in Hamilton County.
William McAlister applied for a Revolutionary War pension in 1832 while living in McMinn County. He and died Oct. 3, 1842, in Bradley County. Henrietta applied for a pension as his wife in 1853 and received the pension. After her death, Gilbert W. Dearing was the administrator of her estate after she died Nov. 15, 1857, in Hamilton County.

Appearing in the early Tennessee censuses were James G. McAlister, born in the 1770s; Athiel McAlister and William McAlister Jr., born in the 1780s, and a James McAlister, born in the 1790s. Wesley, James B., Jesse, Charles R. and John S. McAlister were born in the 1800s.

Andrew Jackson McAllister was born near Madisonville in Monroe County. He was likely a descendant of the Revolutionary War soldier. He moved when a boy with his parents to near Harrison in Hamilton County. Some of the McAllisters fought on the Union side, including William McAllister, father of A.J. McAllester. William McAllister died at the notorious prison camp that the Confederates operated at Andersonville in South Georgia. His widow was Eliza Ann Wilson McAllister. His other children included Pulaski G., Amanda, Teresa, Elizabeth, Malinda, Thomas, William W., James Buchanan and Mary. Pulaski fought for the Union Army with Company G of the Fifth Tennessee Infantry. He married Laura, who was from North Carolina. James Buchanan McAllister worked first as a brakeman and later as a passenger conductor for the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad. He lived at St. Elmo. His first wife, Marilla J. Pinion, was from Georgia and was the daughter of Berry Jefferson Pinion. After she died, he married Hester Browning, who lived from 1872 to 1936. James Buchanan McAllister had a son, William Thomas McAllister, who also lived at Chattanooga and worked for the railroad. He was a member of First Christian Church. He married Mary Crabtree. Their daughter, Caroline, married George W. Wallace. Another son of James Buchanan McAllister was Paul Newton McAllister, who died in 1909. Other children of James Buchanan McAllister were J.B., who lived at Memphis; a daughter who married C.E. Harvey; a daughter who married William Miller, and a daughter, Rachel Caroline, who was an unmarried schoolteacher who died in 1957. James Buchanan McAllister died in 1941.

Teresa, daughter of William and Eliza Ann McAllister, married John H. Templeton, and they moved to Jasper County, Mo. John H. Templeton was a son of Wiley Templeton, who formerly lived near the McAllisters , but later moved to Missouri also. Malinda, daughter of William and Eliza McAllister, married Linnaeus Risley. Elizabeth, another daughter of William and Eliza McAllister, lived with the Risleys in Chattanooga, but she died on March 3, 1880, of consumption. Mary, the youngest daughter of William and Eliza Ann McAllister, married Thomas S. Haydon in 1880. He died in the late 1890s and she was a widow for many years. She died in Chattanooga on Dec. 11, 1931. She had two daughters, Bessie and Myrtle Alice. Bessie married Fred A. Tomlinson. She died at the home of her sister on Dec. 8, 1940. Myrtle Alice married William T. Watts and later Val Demar Johnson.

A.J. McAllister lived at Harrison until 1867 when he moved into Chattanooga and opened a grocery. He had earlier been a railroad worker and “was a great favorite of the railroad men.” But he had to leave railroading after he lost a leg in the war while fighting for the Union. A.J. McAllister “always took an active interest in public affairs.” He was a longtime member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

A.J. McAllister married Martha Jane McNabb, who had first been married to James Arthur Bell. He died in 1876. She was from a prominent pioneer Hamilton County family. Her parents, Major Robert Lusk McNabb and Eliza Boyd McNabb, were early residents at Ooltewah, having moved there the year of the Indian removal. Martha Jane McNabb Bell McAllister was also active in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. She was for many years a member of the Woman’s Club at Chattanooga. She wrote a number of unpublished poems and wrote several plays that were performed by womens’ organizations of her church. She died in 1937 after suffering a heart attack. Her children by her first marriage were Arthur Bell, who was superintendent of the McAllester Hosiery Mill, and Nellie E. Bell, principal of H. Clay Evans School.

The sons of A.J. McAllister and Martha Jane McNabb Bell McAlleste were Samuel J. and William Lusk, and the daughters were Mary E. and Edith. Mary married a dentist, Dr. Charles E. Smith. Edith married Joseph P. Adkins, an Army officer who committed suicide. She later married L.D. Miller, a Chattanooga attorney who became Criminal Court judge.

A.J. McAllister was living on Early Street in Chattanooga when he died of Bright’s disease in 1905. He was 59. The funeral was conducted by Dr. E.G. McLean at the McAllister residence. He was buried at Forest Hills Cemetery in St. Elmo. Some leading citizens served as pallbearers, including W.J. Dobbs, Hiram D. Rider, D.E. Lee, W.B. Cox, Kelly O’Rear, William G. Oehmig, T.F. Ware and G.F. Alexander.

Samuel J. McAllester, son of A.J., was born Aug. 7, 1884, in Chattanooga. He graduated from the University of Tennessee after finishing high school with the class of 1901. He taught science and history at Chattanooga High School and for four years was a teacher of mathematics and history at Baylor School. Sam McAllester decided to switch from teaching to the law. His law training was at the University of Chattanooga, then he began his law career in 1912. His specialty was corporation law. In 1913, he married Margaret Spears, daughter of attorney William Douglas Spears. W.D. Spears was the senior partner in the Chattanooga law firm of Spears, Moore, Rebman and Williams. W.D. Spears was a three-sport athlete at McCallie School, then he was an All-American football player at Vanderbilt University. Sons of Samuel McAllester were Samuel J. and Spears McAllester. Margaret Spears McAllester died in 1922 when her sons were still young. She attended the Christian Church, while Samuel J. McAllester was at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Samuel J. McAllester was active in Republican politics and became United States Commissioner for the district and a judge in Bankruptcy Court.

The younger brother, William Lusk McAllester, was born December 29, 1889, on College Hill. He was an outstanding athlete, playing baseball, football and basketball in high school. He went to City High and then to Baylor, but he transferred back to City when his brother became athletic director there. He played three sports at the University of Chattanooga for two years. But he then decided to play baseball professionally, joining Knoxville of the Appalachian League. He later played for Montgomery, then he was spotted by big league scouts. In the spring of 1913, he joined the St. Louis Browns as a catcher. William McAllester played against Ty Cobb and Casey Stengel was his teammate at Montgomery. He remembered Walter Johnson as the greatest pitcher he ever saw. He played the full season and reported the following spring to St. Petersburg for spring training. But he ruined his baseball career when he hurt his arm and shoulder in a hard slide during practice. William L. McAllester returned to Chattanooga and went into coaching. He helped his brother, Sam, at Baylor, then he coached at City and later at McCallie. In 1921, he coached McCallie to the Southern championship. While at City, his greatest ambition was to beat McCallie. He discovered a natural open field runner, who was a deaf mute – Louis “Dummy” Davis. He kept Davis a secret until the day of the game, when the surprise player led City to a 49-6 trouncing of the Blue Tornado. He was football coach at the University of Chattanooga for three years, then was succeeded by Frank Thomas. William McAllester went to law school at night and earned a degree at the Chattanooga College of Law. But in 1921 he turned his attention to business, founding the Southern Hosiery Mills. The name was later changed to McAllester Hosiery Mills. He remained passionate about sports, and for many years he funded the “Knothole Gang” that allowed youngsters to get into ballgames and to take part themselves.

William Lusk McAllester in 1923 married Winifred Ewing, daughter of H.O. Ewing. They made their home on Lookout Mountain at 814 W. Brow Road. They had a daughter, Ewing, and three sons, William L. Jr. and twins Robert McNabb and Chamberlain. All three sons were 6’2” and played prep football at Choate, the Yale preparatory school. They then all graduated from Yale. At one time, each owned and flew his own airplane. William L. Jr. was a vice president of McAllester Hosiery Mills and he founded McAllester Electronics. The McAllester twins set up a Chattanooga law office. Ewing McAllester was the best all-around athlete at Vassar. She was twice city tennis champion and state champion, and she also won the state title in North Carolina.  1850 - 1927 William Loransie Dow Coatney 76 76 William Loransie Dowe(1)  Coatney was purportedly born out of wedlock the 10th of November, 1850 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA(2)  to Elizabeth Jane Coatney and an unknown significant other.(3)   Elizabeth's parents raised him. 

Elizabeth Jane Coatney was born in January, 1832 in Cedar County, Missouri, USA to George Washington Coatney and Margaret Ann Smith.(4)   Her father was born about 1803 in Tennessee(5)  or North Carolina.(6)   He married Margaret about 1830 in Kentucky.  She was born about 1808(7)  in Kentucky.  Family oral tradition is that she was a Cherokee Indian.  George and Margaret had at least nine children.  Nancy Ann was born about 1830 in Kentucky or Tennessee.(8)   They then moved to Missouri where Elizabeth Jane was born in 1832, James Francis was born in 1834, and William Turentine was born in 1837.  The family moved to Arkansas between February 1837 and 1838.  George is listed on the 1839 Crawford County tax list.(9)    Here the rest of the children were born:  Mary E. about 1838, Melinda Catherine in 1841, Martha Smith about 1842, Lucinda Rogers in 1846, and Cynthia Emeline about 1848.  (It is possible that William Loransie was born to George and Margaret in either 1850 or 1853 instead of being Elizabeth's child.)  Margaret died the 12th of October, 1887 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  George died the 20th of June, 1888 in Rudy, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA. They are both buried in Oliver Springs Cemetery, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA. (10)

If William Loransie Dowe Coatney was born in 1850, he was two years old when, Elizabeth, married Mark H. Curry the 23rd of April, 1853 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  He was born in October 1820 in Orange County, Indiana, USA.  They lived next door to George and Margaret in 1860.(11)  Mark and Elizabeth had eight children:  Manerva Ann in 1855, Mary E. in 1857, George W. in 1859, Susan Clementine in 1861, Abraham L. in 1862, Jesse M. about 1865, John S. in 1870, and Martha Margaret in 1876.  Elizabeth died after the 20th of January, 1898 in Arkansas.  Mark died the 27th of October, 1904 in Taney County, Missouri, USA.

William Loransie married 1) Lisa Jane Heaton about 1872 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.(12)  She was born about 1853 in Missouri or Arkansas.   They had two daughters.  Laura Melcenie Coatney was born the 6th of January, 1873 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  She married James William Blevins the 26th of October, 1891 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA and they had nine children.  Laura died the 6th of March, 1959 and is buried in Ulan Cemetery, in Ulan, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, USA.  Nothing is known about the second daughter, Mary Coatney.  It may be that Lisa and the child died from birth complications.

William Loransie married 2) Julietta Dade Reynolds(13)  the 1st of January, 1879 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.(14)   She was born the 21st of December, 1858 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA, the third child of Young E. Reynolds and Susan Arabella Shipley.(15)   William Loransie and Julietta had ten children all born in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA:  Arizona, Lucinda Arbella, Hattie, Dola Missouri, Delpha A., Iva Easter, Loransie Dow, Julie, Ky, and Robert Sy.  On the 29th of February, 1892 William received 180 acres in Crawford County, which he had homesteaded.(16)   He died the 30th of September, 1927 in Crawford County Arkansas(17)  and was buried in Morrison Cemetery in Hobbtown, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.(18)   Julietta died the 15th of November, 1930 in Reeds Spring, Stone County, Missouri, USA and is also buried in Morrison Cemetery in Hobbtown, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.(19)

(2)  Census, 1860, AR, Crawford County. Cedar Creek Township, page 755k Lorenzo D 10 AR.
There is controversy about his birth date and identification of his parents.  The headstone has the 10th of November, 1853.  If this is in fact his birth year, he would probably not be Elizabeth's son since she married in 1853 and he would be George and Margaret's son.   From Tonia Holleman in an e-mail dated July 4, 1997:  "William Dow was Elizabeth's son but George and Margaret took him.  Grandma Cluck, Tommie, said he was her cousin.  While family members may have difficulty in remembering the birth year it would seem that remembering the correct month and day would be easier.  Therefore November 10 is used.  Since the headstone information may be off by three years I will use 1850 as the year from the 1860 census information."   Goodspeed's History of 1889 lists the nine children of George and Margaret but William Loransie is not among them.

(18)  There is a headstone at Morrison Cemetery.  However, the death certificate indicates burial at Mt.

McCurry.  Perhaps that is all his son L.D. could think of at the time.  They lived close to both cemeteries.  There are no records of a Mt. McCurry burial.

(19)  Headstone in Morrison Cemetery, Rudy, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.



All the following information is from Virginia (Kimes) Pierce:
"William Loransie Dow Coatney and Julietta Dade Reynolds are the parents of  Loransie Dow Coatney,  husband of Sylvine Kimes, daughter of Joseph Leander Kimes and Elizabeth Lewis.

There is some confusion as to his correct name.  Juanita, his granddaughter, told me (Virginia Pierce) his name was Joseph William Dow Coatney.  Other researchers say it is William Loransie Dow Coatney.
A copy of the death certificate sent me by one of the researchers, Vontrece Miller, shows different data than that given me by Juanita and Elsie. It gives the name of the deceased as W.( then there is an L written over another initial, which I cannot make out).  Also, it shows the date of death as September 30, 1927, instead of what we have as 30 Sept. 1930.  Also it says he was  buried in Mt. McCurry Cemetery on 10-1-27, instead of the Morrison Cemetery.  It gives his wife's name as Julia, which is what we have.  It gives his age as 77, which is what we have. It gives the name of the undertaker as Alma Hdw.Co., Alma, Arkansas, File #348, Registrar Mrs. T.N.McAlister.
I am sending the copy of the death certificate to Elsie and Juanita Coatney.  Maybe Elsie and Juanita can straighten this out.

In a letter received from Cliff Bowlin, who is researching the Coatney lines, he said:
"As of now I have Elizabeth Jane Coatney and an unknown significant other as the parents of William Loransie Dow Coatney.  This from Loretta Hilbert's gedcom dated July 2, 1997:  Lisa Evans family history says William Loransie Dow Coatney is Elizabeth's son, but he was taken and raised by his grandparents, George Washington Coatney and Margaret Ann Smith.  He is not listed as a child of G.W. and Margaret in Goodspeed's Biography.  This from Tonia Holleman in an e-mail dated July 4, 1997:  William Dow was Elizabeth's son but George and Margaret took him.  Grandma Cluck, Tommie, said he was her cousin. Also William had two daughters by his first marriage... we found that in our notes.  William L. received 180 acres, in Section 26, Township 11N. Range 31W, in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA on 29 Feb. 1892, under the act of 20 May 1862, Homestead Entry Orig."

From Jenny Garner's gedcom:  William was born out of wedlock, no one knows who his father was.

Note:  Elizabeth Jane Coatney is a daughter of George Washington Coatney and Margaret Smith.

Following is an email received from Cliff Bowlin dated July 27, 1997:
"Yes, Elizabeth Jane was the oldest of the children of George Washington and Margaret Smith Coatney.
William Loransie Dow Coatney was born on 10 November 1850 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  There are differences in the birthdate.  Until a better source is found the use of the 1860 census seems the best choice.
The 1850 year of birth also makes more sense than 1853.  If he ws born 10 Nov. 1853, after his mother's marriage to Mark Curry (23 April 1853) it would seem probable that he would have remained with Elizabeth and Mark, rather than being raised by his grandparents. While family members may have difficulty in remembering the birth year it would seem that remembering the correct month and day would be easier.  Therefore, November 10 is used.  Since the headstone information is off by three years in death, it appears that the birth year of 1853 was used to "force" the dates to agree with the 77 years listed on the death certificate.  Based on the 10 Nov. 1850 birthdate and the death date of 30 Sep 1927, the age at death was 76 years 10 months and 20 days, very close to 77 years.  He died on 30 Sep 1927 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  Death certificate in possession of Vontrece Miller shows death 30 Sep. 1927.  He was buried on 1 Oct. 1927 in Morrison Cemetery, Hobbtown, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  There is a headstone at Morrison Cemetery.  However the death certificate indicates burial at Mt. McCurry Cemetery.

William Loransie Dow Coatney was first married to Lisa Jane Heaton about 1872 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.
Lisa Jane Heaton was born about 1853 in Arkansas.  Information found in 1870 Washington County, Arkansas, USA census.
William Loransie Dow Coatney and Lisa Jane Heaton had the following children:
Laura Melcenie Coatney
Mary Coatney was born about 1874 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.

He was married to Julietta Dade Reynolds (daughter of Young E. Reynolds and Susan Arbella Shipley) on 1 Jan. 1879 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  Julietta Dade Reynolds was born on 21 Dec. 1858 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  She died on 5 Nov. 1830 in Reeds Springs, Stone, Missouri.  She was buried in Morrison Cemetery, Hobbtown, Crawford, AR.  William Loransie Dow Coatney and Julietta Dade Reynolds had the following children:
Arizona Coatney
Lucinda Arbella Coatney
Delpha A. Coatney
Iva Easter Coatney
Loransie Dow Coatney
Julie Coatney was born in 1897 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  She died about 1909 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  She is buried in Morrison Cemetery, Hobbtown, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA

There is controversy about his birth date.  The headstone has the 10th of November, 1853.  If this is in fact the date, he could not be Elizabeth’s son and would then be George and Margaret’s son.   There are those who favor this scenario.  From Tonia Holleman in an e-mail dated July 4, 1997:  William Dow was Elizabeth’s son but George and Margaret took him.  Grandma Cluck, Tommie, said he was her cousin.  While family members may have difficulty in remembering the birth year it would seem that remembering the correct month and day would be easier.  Therefore November 10 is used.  Since the headstone information may be off by three years I will use 1850 as the year from the 1860 census information.

There is a headstone at Morrison Cemetery.  However, the death certificate indicates burial at Mt. McCurry Cemetery.  An e-mail from Kathleen O’Kelley, dated 17 Jul 1997 indicates the following:  No proof of Dow Coatney’s place of burial, but Cleo had told Elsie that he attended the funeral at Morrison.  Juanita Coatney Teague Gregory attended the funeral at Morrison.  Eva Brammer Cluck attended the funeral at Morrison.  Albert and Julia Bowen O’Kelley told me it was at Morrison.  The headstones are at Morrison (the old ones and the new ones).   The death certificate does say Mt. McCurry.  Perhaps that is all his son L.D. could think of at the time.  They lived close to both cemeteries.  There are no records of a Mt. McCurry burial." 1858 - 1930 Julietta Dade Reynolds\ Runnels 71 71 1860 Census:  Lees Creek, Crawford, Arkansas; Roll: M653_40; Page: 730; Image: 137. enumerated August 4, 1860

This description of Benjamin, Sr. is found in Hamilton County Pioneers:(7) "about 6 feet, stoutly built, rather rawboned, is considered a stout man, his skin is tolerably fair, and somewhat freckled but generally sunburnt, fair hair and pale blue or grey eyes, surly countenance, given to intoxication, on all occasions boisterous and uncontrollable when drinking, and is a sort of a blacksmith."

In 1830 Benjamin was living in Hamilton County with five people in his household:  he, Sarah, Nathan Pascal and two older girls who can't be their children.(8)   Dallas, Hamilton County, Tennessee, USA was a town of about 200 inhabitants including one lawyer, two doctors, four stores, two taverns, and a blacksmith shop in 1834.(9)   In August of 1833 Benjamin sold his blacksmith tools to clear a $50 debt.(10)

On the 23rd of June, 1838 Benjamin shot Archibald McCallie in the arm and hip.(11)    Then in August 1838, a $100 reward was offered for the apprehension of Benjamin Shipley for the attempted murder of Archibald McCallie.(12)   Ben fled to Arkansas in 1838 or 1839.   Sarah and their six children soon followed him.  The family settled in Vineyard Township in Washington County, Arkansas, USA.(13)    Here Hannah Retta "Heneratta" was born in 1842 and Richard was born about 1844.  They moved to Jasper Township in neighboring Crawford County, Arkansas, USA before the birth of James about 1845.  Elijah was born in 1848 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.

Sometime between 1840 and 1850 Benjamin became blind.  In the 1850 Crawford County census he is listed as a blind grocer.(14)   According to Rufus Houston London, "The old man had his eyes put out in a drunken spree with grease + pepper." (15)  Ben became despondent and restless, deserting Sarah and abandoning his family before 1854.  Sarah was left to care for Richard, James, and Elijah.  Susan said her father left her mother when Elijah was four years old, making it 1852.(16)   He moved to Franklin County, Arkansas, USA where he lived with other women but visited Sally now and again.  During one of these visits she became pregnant with Thomas who was born about 1854 and died two or three weeks later probably due to their poverty and malnutrition. 

Sarah tells about their relationship in her Civil War pension deposition No. 379,798 dated the 19th of March, 1890.(17)

"My husband was Benjamin Shipley.  I don't know whether or not I know when I was married to Ben Shipley.  The Lord knows how long I lived with him, I don't.  My maiden name was Burkett, and we were married at Dallas, Hamilton Co.,Tenn. by Squire Jones.  My 3rd child was just 3 wks old at the time the "Stars fell".  I had eleven children by Shipley.  He was blind and couldn't content himself and he kept moving about.  He and a man quarreled and he shot the man and he then left me in Tennessee and came to Ark.  Afterwards I came to Ark. to join him.  He went blind after we came to Ark.  He died a year or two ago in Mulberry in Franklin Co. Ark.  We were separated several years.  I don't know whether we were separated in the time of the war or not.  I believe I was by myself then.  My youngest child is named Thomas and he was born after my husband left me.  I can't say how long afterwards.  I know I was by myself.  It could not have been long.  Ben had not left me for good then -- he kept coming back or forward before the child was born.   It died in 2 or 3 wks after it was born.  When my husband left me he link up with another woman but he was never married to her.  She died and he then wanted to come home but I wouldn't let him.  He was not living with me when my son James died and had not lived with me for several years before James died.
James was never married, consequently left no widow, child or children surviving him."

Elisabeth Minerva Shipley told this story,

"Ben was indifferent to Sarah at best.  She said he became desolate and lost hope after he became blind.  Soon after becoming blind, Ben deserted Sarah and lived with other women, but did not marry any.  Ben also lived some with his daughter, Hannah Retta Shipley Newton.  I can not say where Ben lived when he died except that he lived in Franklin County.  He would wander back and forth to Sarah.  Sarah became pregnant with Thomas who was born in 1854, but he died almost immediately as he and Sarah were malnourished."

In 1870 a Benjamin Shipley was listed on the Franklin County, Mulberry census.  He was blind and had a woman, Mary Burket, living with him listed as a housekeeper.  This is probably our Ben although his age was listed as 49 and Benjamin would have been about 65.(18)   Ben died the 26th of August, 1881 in Mulberry, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA and was buried in White Rock Cemetery, behind White Rock Community Church, near Lone Elm Community, Franklin County, Arkansas, USA.(19)

In the 1860 Crawford County census Sarah Shipley was living with, or next door to her son, Nathan Shipley and his wife "Betsey" Elizabeth.  Sarah was listed as 65 years old, birthplace unknown.  She had James, age 12 and Elijah, age 10 living with her.  After James was mustered out of the federal army he and his mother rented land from "Betsey" for two or three years, Nathan was deceased.  James then settled on government land near Betsey where he and his mother lived until he died in September of 1869.  It appears that James was in poor health and often unable to work.  They were "very poor people - dependent on his daily labor for their living."(20)   James died in 1869 and their combined property was worth less than $50.  They had one or two cows and a pony.(21)   According to Sarah's 1890 deposition she had two horses, two or three cows, a yoke of steers and some hogs but no land when James died, but this seems like an exaggeration for the benefit of the examiner.  She says a grandchild lived with her at the time of James' death.
 
Sarah continued living in the Crawford County area until at least 1890.  She was treated by Dr. Harrison of Cedarville, Arkansas in 1884.(22)   In 1888 she applied for James' Civil War pension as his dependent.  She was very "feeble" when her deposition was taken the 19th of March, 1890.   She was living 7 miles west of Chester at the time.  She had been confined to the house for the past two or three weeks.  "I am able to sit up a part of the time.  I sat up a little while this morning."  She died in Arkansas after the 19th of March, 1890 but the location of her grave is unknown.


Footnotes:

(1)  Tombstone has the birth year as 1805.  The birth and death dates are in different styles, possibly indicating birth date was inscribed before death.  The 1850 census indicates his birth year is 1807.    The unpublished Genealogical Research Documents of Grace Thirsaline Shipley Collins and Barbara Alice Collins, 1930-1980, have his birthplace as Sullivan County, but there is no known proof.

(2)  All information on Benjamin Shipley and his descendants is from a gedcom from R. Cecil Shipley, unless otherwise noted.  His primary sources were: 1) C. M. Crawley,  2) Sarah Burkett Shipley, Deposition Number 379798 for Pension, May 31, 1890, 3) Census records, 4) Birth records, 5) Death records, 6) Tombstones, 7) Family Bible records, 8) Wills and estate records, 9) Land records, 10) Elisabeth Shipley Collins, 11) Lynne Chandler, 12) Vontrece Miller, 13) Rick Albright, and 14) Holly Breidenbach.

(3)  Sarah gives Dallas as her place of marriage in her pension deposition.

(4)  In her affidavit for the James Shipley pension record, Sarah says she thinks she was born in 1811 in Oats Harvest in Tennessee.  Current research indicates Oats Harvest refers to a time as there is no record of a place named Oats Harvest.

(5)  According to James Likens <JDL04747@@pomona.edu>;  "I know that George Washington, Jackson, and Sarah Burkett (mother of Ibbey Jane Shipley) are siblings and that they were from Tennessee.  I am using circumstantial evidence that William was their brother, and that Matthias Burkett and Susanna McNeese were their parents. This evidence is age, location and naming patterns.   MATTHIAS BARKET/BURKET/BURKETT  was born in Greene County, Tennessee, USA, and died Aft. 1870.  He married SUSANNA MCNEESE January 16, 1805 in Greene County, Tennessee, USA.  She died Aft. 1870.  It has not been proved that Mathias Burket/Burkett and Susanna McNeese are the parents of William Burkett. Other children may be Louisa b 1807 and m John Turnbow, 1827, Perry County, Tennessee, USA; and Peggy b ?, married Charles Walker, 18 Nov 1824, Greene County, Tennessee, USA.  Source: Lucy Haney at <madewell32 at hotmail dot com>."

somewhat freckled but generally sunburnt, fair hair and pale blue or grey eyes, surly countenance, given to intoxication, on all occasions boisterous and uncontrollable when drinking, and is a sort of a blacksmith."

Elijah Hale Shipley is a grandson of Benjamin Shipley, born 1730 in Maryland.  Some persons speculate Benjamin 1730 had a son Richard who may have been born about 1750 and who may be the father of our Richard Shipley, Sr.

George Washington Burkett b Jul 15, 1814, Sarah Burkett b abt 1809 and Jackson Burkett b abt 1807 were siblings born in Tennessee.  (I have not seen proof of this statement but George and Jackson were living beside each other in 1850 and a daughter of Sarah was living in George's household in 1850.)  They may have been siblings of William Burkett b abt 1806 in Greene or Maury County, Tennessee. All four of them may have been the children of Mathias Burkett and Susanna McNeese who married in Maury County, TN on Jan 16, 1805. George, Sarah and Jackson moved to Madison County, Arkansas. William moved to White County, Arkansas.

Sarah tells about their relationship in her Civil War pension deposition No. 379798 the 19th of March, 1890.

"My husband was Benjamin Shipley.  I don’t know whether or not I know when I was married to Ben Shipley.  The Lord knows how long I lived with him, I don’t.  My maiden name was Burkett and we was married at Dallas, Hamilton Co., Tennessee by Squire Jones.  My third child was just three weeks old at the time the stars fell.  I had eleven children by Shipley.  He was blind and couldn’t content himself and he kept moving about.  He and a man quarreled and he shot the man and he then left me in Tennessee and he came to Arkansas.  Afterwards I came to Arkansas to join him.  He went blind after we came to Arkansas.  He died a year or two ago in Mulberry in Franklin County, Arkansas, USA.  We were separated several years.  I don’t know whether we were separated in the time of the war or not.  I believe I was by myself then.  My youngest child is named Thomas and he was born after my husband left me.  I can’t say how long afterwards.  I know I was by myself.  It could not have been long.  Ben had not left me for good then - he kept coming back and forward before the child was born.  It died in two or three weeks after it was born.  When my husband left me he link up with another woman, but he was never, married to her.  She died and he then wanted to come home but I wouldn’t let him.  He was not living with me when James died.  James was never married, consequently left no widow, child or children surviving him."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elisabeth Minerva Shipley told this story,
"Ben was indifferent to Sarah at best.  She said he became desolate and lost hope after he became blind.  Soon after becoming blind, Ben deserted Sarah and lived with other women, but did not marry any.  Ben also lived some with his daughter, Hannah Retta Shipley Newton.  I can not say where Ben lived when he died except that he lived in Franklin County.  He would wander back and forth to Sarah.  Sarah became pregnant with Thomas who was born in 1854, but he died almost immediately as he and Sarah were malnourished."

Case of                   Sarah Shipley                             ,   No.          379,798             

On this                19th                     day of                 March              , 1890, at
         7 mi. W. of Chester                  , County of                 Crawford                        ,
State of                  Arkansas                       , before me,            H.N. Patton            , a
Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared           Mrs. Sarah      
             Shipley - Claimant                 , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to her during this Special Examination of aforesaid
pension claim, deposes and says:  I don't know how old I am.  I am
going on 70 odd.  I was born in oats harvest in
1811 I think  :   widow  :   P.O. address Chester Crawford
Co. Ark.
I claim a pension as a dependent mother of
James Shipley, my son, who died of disease contracted
in the service.  He died of smallpox or whatever you
called it.  He was broken out all in scabs under his arms,
over his face and about all over him.  He got the
disease at Ft. Smith - Ark.  He sent for me to come to see him
and I went and staid with him in the tents until he
got able and I then brought him home with me.  I expect
there were sores on him when I went to see him.  There must
have been.  I could not say whether I saw any sores on
him at that time or not.  I expect there was though.  Poor
fellow he didn't want to go to the hospital and that is the
reason he sent for me.  I believe they called the disease
small pox.  He was rotten with it I know.  I forget the
year that I went too see him.  I don't know "pint blank".  I brought
him with me, and them places I've been telling you of broke
out again, under his arms and over his face + about
just like blisters, and he got so we couldn't move him
without his "hollerin".  Yes Sir, he had been vaccinnated.
There was a heap of the soldiers at Fort Smith got vaccinnated
and I think James did to.  "I don't know nothing."   I have
been sick and am so old that I don't recollect much.
I don't remember the date -  of his death -, but I think it
was in Aug.  We were pulling fodder at the time. The cause of death
    Page     7      Deposition      A    


Page    8   
was the breaking out and his being in the army.  I had four
boys in the army, and they all died after they came out of
the service.  We had a doctor over here somewhere but
I don't know his name.  to give him some treatment.  That
was a night or two, or day or two, or a wk before James died.
He lived out here at Chester.  He was never stout after
he came out of the army.  "He lived till he died."  He was able
to go about like the rest of the soldiers.  He had this breaking out
until he died. He was mortified poor fellow.  They couldn't
put his shoes on after he died without pulling his feet
off, he was so mortified.  He was scabs all over.
Yes, his arm was all raw when I came to see him at Ft. Smith -
and it liked to have come off.  I don't remember which
arm it was.
I don't remember "pint blank" when he enlisted.  He
was old enough to go into the army, but I can't say how old
he was when he enlisted.  He wasn't of age, - was just
a boy.  He lived at home with me and he made corn,
or helped, for all of us -- helped to make a living like
a child ought to do.  He sent me $2.00 or $3.00 after he went into
the service. I ought to know who he sent it by but I don't.  That
is all he ever sent me.  It was silver money I believe.  I
depended in part on James for my support because he worked
at home to make the living.  I don't know the Co or Regt. he belonged to.
I don't know where my girls were when James
enlisted.  They were with their Pa where ever he was.
I only had one child at home when James enlisted,
and that was Elijah.  He was younger than James.  Me
and him, that child, went to Ft. Smith to tend to James.
My husband was Benjamin Shipley.  I don't
know whether or not I know when I was married to

Ben Shipley.  The Lord knows how long I lived with
him,  I don't.  My maiden name was Burkett, and we
were married at Dallas, Hamilton Co.,Tenn. by Squire Jones.
My 3rd child was just 3 wks old at the time the
"Stars fell".  I had eleven children by Shipley.  He
was blind and couldn't content himself and he kept
moving about.  He and a man quarreled and he shot
the man and he then left me in Tennessee and
came to Ark.  Afterwards I came to Ark. to join him.  He
went blind after we came to Ark.  He died a year
or two ago in Mulberry in Franklin Co. Ark.  We
were separated several years.  I don't know whether
we were separated in the time of the war or not.  I
believe I was by myself then.  My youngest child
is named Thomas and he was born after my
husband left me.  I can't say how long afterwards.  I
know I was by myself.  It could not have been long.  Ben
had not left me for good then -- he kept coming back
or forward before the child was born.   It died in 2 or 3
wks after it was born.  When my husband left me
he link up with another woman but he was never
married to her.  She died and he then wanted to come
home but I wouldn't let him.  He was not living with
me when my son James died and had not lived
with me for several years before James died.
James was never married, consequently
left no widow, child or children surviving him.

       Page    11   
After he came from the war he settled a place up here
on the mountain and I kept house for him and he
made the living, and that is the way I got along.
     Yes, I owned right smart property when James
died I owned no land.  We just settled a claim.
I had two horses, one which I would not take
$100.00 for, if I had it here to day.  I had one colt; 2 or 3
milch cows; one yoke of steers - medium sized cattle
Oh yes we had hogs, but I don't know how many - Enough
to make my own meat.  Had no sheep - didn't want them.
Me + James made our own meat.  I can't tell you
how much my property was worth at his death.  I
had no money in interest.  I have a cow + a calf
now; that is all I need.  I don't know what my
income was when James died.  We made use
of all we made.  When James died I had a
little grand child living with me; that was the
extent of my family.
     My neighbors from the time James came out of
the army up to his death were Betsey Shipley, died -
Well I don't know any body else now.  Every body that
heard of it came to see him in his last illness
but I can't name them now.
     I have never remarried since my husbands
death; neither have I lived with or cohabited with
any man since my husband abandoned me.
     I never aided or abetted the rebellion.  I was never any rebel.

Obituary   1943-12-1; Chicago Tribune (IL); SHIPLEY
Charles V. Shipley, late of 520 N. Michigan avenue, beloved husband of Margaret Shipley, nee Mott; dear father of Frances and Charles Shipley Jr. Services Monday, 2 p.m., at chapel, 1820 S. Michigan avenue.  Information, Cal. 4030.

1943-12-11 Chicago Tribune (IL)
Charles V. Shipley

Charles V. Shipley, 56 years old, managing director of the Canadian enterprises of the Sheldon Claire company, 520 North Michigan avenue, died yesterday in Wesley Memorial hospital. He is survived by his widow, Margaret, 640 North Wabash avenue; a daughter, Frances, and a son, Charles Jr. The funeral will be held Monday at 2 p.m. in the chapel at 1820 South Michigan avenue.

Notes:        
It is said that Charles was to have re-married.  His Father, Thomas W. Shipley states in a letter that  “C.V’s wife died in London”. I think her
death was before he came to the States in 1939, as he was traveling alone.

Charles’s sister Eva Shipley Bowler and her husband Paul were also living in the Chicago area, In the 1930’s.

Charles states in documents that his date of birth is 29th of October. Some have it noted as the 19th of October.

Martha married Herman Harvey Leonard February 26, 1885.  He was born the 16th of September, 1863 in Jefferson, Hillsdale County, Michigan to William Kenyen Leonard and Clarinda Unice Black.  They had six children:  Jessie born about 1885 in Texas, Lottie born about 1887 in Oklahoma, Marques Del (known as Mark, Del, and Marcus) born in 1888 in Oklahoma, Pearl born about 1890 in Oklahoma, George, and Bertha.  Martha died the 8th of November, 1936 in Fullerton, Orange County, California.  Herman died the 26th of October, 1943 in Colton, San Bernardino County, California.  They are both buried in Anaheim Cemetery, Anaheim, Orange County, California.

Footnotes:

(1) The marriage to James Wright Shipley recorded in the Crawford County, Arkansas Marriage Records is quite controversial amongst family genealogists.  Some say it never happened and all Martha's children belong to Herman Leonard.  Others say that Lillian is Shipley's daughter.

From Leila Menzies, January 5, 2004
The 1930 census shows Herman H. Leonard and his wife Martha A. Leonard having very diffrent years given for their age at first marriage.  Herman, age 66, says he was 21 when he wed, making the year he first married 1885, Martha, age 72, says she was 24 making the year she first married in 1882.  Suddenly I was a lot more inclined to believe the marriage to James Wright Shipley.

Then I looked up J.W. Shipley in Crawford Arkansas census for 1880 and found him living as a nephew in the next family below Mattie Bowin(that's how it was spelled that year!)with the Lesters.  I understand his mother's maiden name was Lester.  I also gather from other Shipley researchers that James W. was also listed with his mother on the 1880 census; but because I had only the marriage record, I tried looking for just J.W.   Martha A. who was living with her brother J.B. LOUIS (it should be Lewis (not Louis), but that's how it got spelled).  So now I could see how they might have met.

The final coincidence was finding a posting on ancestry.com from a Dianne Lieber who put up Charles Clinton Bonham and his wife Lilly Mae Shipley.  I'm hoping to hear back from Dianne soon.  But I'm beginning to think maybe there were two marriages for Martha! 1882 - 1950 Lillian Mae Shipley 67 67 1900 United States Census: Union, Washita, Oklahoma; Roll: 1342; Page: 13A; Enumeration District: 0211; FHL microfilm: 1241342

State (Year) SSN issued:      Montana (Before 1951) ~1911 Helen M. Shipley ~1909 Fleta E. Shipley ~1907 Edward L. Shipley ~1775 - 1820 Richard SHIPLEY 45 45 Our earliest documented Shipley ancestor is Richard Shipley.(1)   He was born about 1775, probably in Maryland.  Some Shipley families migrated into the overmountain area of North Carolina towards the end of the Revolutionary War, but we have no known documentation connecting our Richard Shipley to any of these families.  Some researchers speculate that he descends from Adam Shipley of Maryland.(2)   Richard may have resided in Sullivan or Washington County, in what is now Tennessee, prior to his arrival in what is now Rhea County, Tennessee, USA.

He married Hannah Retta Hughes.(3)   She was born about 1780 in Tennessee.  It is believed that the Hughes family was Welsh.  Hannah's name may have been one word, such as: Henrietta, Hanretta, Hannahretta, Hannaitta, etc.  Hannah Retta is the form used by one granddaughter.  Richard and Hannah had at least four sons, all of whom were born in Tennessee.  Benjamin Franklin, Sr. was born in 1805, Nathan was born about 1807, William Park was born about 1812, and Richard, Jr. was born in 1814.  Probably, there were other children in this family, most likely daughters.

By 1819 Richard was in Rhea County, Tennessee, USA where he is documented as paying taxes.(4)   The tax information indicates he didn't own land or a slave and that his sons were less than 16 years of age.  He probably died during the latter part of 1819.  He was killed by Abraham Mitchell, near the home of John Payne.(5)   This was the first homicide in Rhea County.  His estate was put up for sale in early 1820 and brought $277.56 ½ .  $255.43 ¾ was disbursed to settle the estate and Hannah received  $22.12 ¾.  Richard's burial place is unknown.  Hannah Retta/Henrietta married William McAllister May 8, 1828 in Hamilton County, Tennessee.  She died November 15, 1858 or possibly 1857 in Tennessee. 

The inventory of Richard's belongings was:(6) 

…2 horse creatures, 7 head of cattle, 11 head of hogs, 1 rifle gun, a shot pouch, 175 bu corn, 1 bead & some furniture, 1 pewter dish, 5 plates pewter, some delf ware, some forks & knives, 1 bar share plow, 2 shovels, 3 good swingle trees, 2 hoes, 1 pr gears, 1 single chain trace, 4 blade slacks, 2 pots, 1 oven & lid, 1 large cow hide, some leather, 1 hand saw, 2 augers, 2 chisels, 1 hammer, 1 pr pot hooks, 1 saddle, 2 falling axes, 4 piggeons, 1 churn, 3 barrels, 1 flax wheel, 1 coffe pot, which was ordered to be sold…

Hamilton County, Tennessee  was separated from Rhea County in 1819.  The four known sons of Richard and Hannah lived in the part of Tennessee that became Hamilton County.  In 1828 Nathan Shipley acquired 200 acres of land on the lower side of Opossum Creek.  He operated a mill in Bakewell, Hamilton County, Tennessee  and the Shipley mill wheel still exists.  Benjamin Shipley was a blacksmith in Dallas, Tennessee.  Other Shipley families, primarily descendants of Eli Shipley, lived nearby on Sale Creek.  Of the 821 people who resided in Hamilton County in 1821, most of them lived in the Sale Creek area.(9)   All of these locations are a few miles northwest of present day Chattanooga, Tennessee.  The Opossum Creek area where Nathan, Benjamin, William Park and Richard Shipley lived is about 20 miles south of Dayton and 40 miles north of Chattanooga. 

Our Shipley family on Opossum Creek had financial and legal problems.  Benjamin shot a man during a quarrel and fled to Arkansas about 1839.  William Park was murdered or committed suicide in 1843 in Hamilton County.   Richard migrated to Missouri before 1843 and later to Iowa.   Nathan stayed in Hamilton County, eventually losing all his property at public auction by the end of 1844.  The Shipley families of Sale Creek were unaffected by this ordeal and continued to be successful farmers and merchants.

Known children of Richard Shipley, Sr. and Hannah Retta Hughes:(10)

1. Benjamin Franklin Shipley, Sr. was born the 1st of January, 1805 in  Tennessee.(11)   He died the 26th of August, 1881 in Mulberry, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.
2. Nathan Shipley was born about 1807 in Tennessee.  Nathan died after 1880 in Hamilton County, Tennessee, USA.    
3. William Park Shipley was born about 1812 in Tennessee.  He was murdered or committed suicide the 25th of March 1843 in Hamilton County, Tennessee, USA.    
4. Richard Shipley, Jr. was born the 15th of November, 1814 in Tennessee. He died the 13th of January, 1908 in Clio, Wayne County, Iowa, USA. 

Footnotes:

(1) Most information on the Shipley lineage is from a gedcom from R. Cecil Shipley unless otherwise noted.  I have footnoted his sources when known.  The biography of Richard Shipley and Hannah Retta Hughes was researched and written by R. Cecil Shipley.

(2)  "The first permanent settlement in Tennessee was made in 1769 on Boone Creek by Capt. William Bean, who came in that year from Pittsylvania County, Va. His son, Russell Bean, is said to have been the first white child born in the State. Soon after Bean made his settlement, in 1770 and 1771, James Robertson. Landon Carter and others, laid the foundation of the Watauga settlements, which at first were mainly in what is now Carter County. The steady stream of emigrants from the older States, however, soon forced these to overflow into the territory now embraced in Washington and Greene Counties. In 1772 Jacob Brown, with one or two families from North Carolina, located upon the north bank of the Nolachucky River, which up to this time had remained undisturbed by the white man. Mr. Brown had been a small merchant, and brought with him a packhorse loaded with goods with which he soon purchased from the Indians a lease of a large body of land lying on both sides of the Nolachucky. In 1775 he obtained one deed signed by the chief men of the Cherokee Nation, embracing the greater part of the present Washington County west of the Big Limestone, and another deed for the land lying between the Big Limestone and a line drawn from a point on the Nolachucky Mountains north 32 degrees west to the mouth of Camp Creek; thence across the river; thence northwest to the dividing ridge between Lick Creek and Watauga or Holston; thence up the dividing ridge to the rest of the said Brown's land. This land Mr. Brown sold to settlers at a small price. The government of North Carolina, however, refused to recognize the validity of this deed, and continued to make grants in the territory covered by that instrument."   Goodspeed's History of  Tennessee, The Goodspeed Publishing Company, Chicago, 1887, pages 797-1,317.
Benjamin Shipley was born in Maryland about 1730, married Kitty Unknown and Elizabeth Unknown, and died in Washington County, Tennessee, USA.  Margaret Bean, granddaughter of William Bean, married Elijah Hale Shipley, grandson of  Benjamin Shipley (1730).  Elijah Shipley migrated to Arkansas about the same time as our beloved Blind Ben (son of our Richard Shipley, Sr.) and both appear on the 1840 census in Arkansas.  Some researchers believe Elijah and Blind Ben were related, perhaps cousins.  Some researchers believe this Benjamin Shipley (1730) was the progenitor of all Shipley in the overmountain area.  However, other researchers believe several members of the Shipley family migrated to the overmountain area.  This Benjamin (1730) had a son named Richard who would have been born about the same time as our Richard, but there is no proof that they are the same person.

(3)  The death certificate for Richard Shipley, who was born 15 Nov 1814 in Tennessee and died in Clio, Iowa on 13 Jan 1908, clearly states he was the son of Richard Shipley and Hannah Hughes.  The informant was Richard Jr.'s daughter, Mrs. Rittie Shipley Preston.  Source:  Rick Albright, KD6DKC at aol dot com.

(10)  Richard is proven as the father for Richard Jr., William Park, and Nathan.  Richard Jr. wrote a letter to George Roller Shipley, son of William Park Shipley, and referred to him as nephew.  According to John Wilson in Hamilton County Pioneers, p265, Richard Jr. and Nathan were in business together as N. Shipley and Brother in Hamilton County.  Benjamin is included as a child of Richard and Hannah based on family naming patterns and associations among these four in Hamilton County.  These associations come from Hamilton County deeds, which show them selling land to each other and being witnesses for each other.

Research of R. Cecil Shipley as of April 2005:
Several Shipley have immigrated to the American Colonies or America.  Seems like the first was a John Shipley who settled in Massachusetts.  There was a John Shipley in Van Buren before our Blind Ben settled in Washington County, Arkansas, but I have no idea who he is.  I wrote to every Shipley in Crawford County only to discover that I am related to none of them.  Also, unrelated Shipley immigrated to Missouri, to Iowa, to Kentucky, to Tennessee, etc..  Of interest to us, Adam Shipley emigrated from England to the Maryland Colony in America.  Eventually, Adam Shipley received 50 acres of land for his servitude.  Adam married Lois, amassed large tracts of
property, left many descendants, and died before 1698.  A large genealogy of the descendants of Adam Shipley is available on the Internet. Today this family is known collectively as the Shipley of Maryland.

Records document that Benjamin Shipley, born about 1730 in Maryland, resided in what is now Washington County, Tennessee, towards the end of the eighteenth century.  His son, Nathan Shipley, was an officer of the court and his name appears in many records. Benjamin had a son named Richard Shipley.   A large genealogy of the descendants of Benjamin Shipley is available on the Internet.  Some persons speculate that Benjamin is a descendant of Adam Shipley of Maryland.

Records document that Eli Shipley owned property in what is now Sullivan County, Tennessee, towards the end of the eighteenth century.  A large genealogy of the descendants of Eli Shipley is available on the Internet.  Eli was married in Maryland and his first son, Benjamin Franklin Shipley, was born in Maryland.  Some persons speculate that Eli is a descendant of Adam Shipley of Maryland.  About 1840, several of this Shipley family embarked in several boats and floated down the Tennessee River intending to settle in Alabama.  Some of the boats floundered in Hamilton County, Tennessee and the persons in these boats decided to stay in that area.  The other boats continued to what is now Limestone County, Alabama.  The Shipley who stayed in Hamilton County settled in the area around the town of Sale Creek.  These Shipley married the Varner, Crawley, Isles, Aslinger, and Francisco families.  After the War Between the States some members of this family moved to McDonald County, Missouri.  Today this Shipley family is collectively known as the Sale Creek Shipley.

Court  records document that in February 1820 the Rhea County Quarterly Court paid $5 for the disposition of the body of Richard Shipley.  Richard was killed in Rhea County, Tennessee, in 1819-1820 by Abraham Mitchell near John Payne's home.  This is the earliest proven ancestor of our Shipley family.  Some persons speculate that Richard is a descendant of Adam Shipley of Maryland.  This Richard Shipley married Hannah Hughes and had several children; including sons, Richard, Jr., Benjamin Franklin, Nathan, and William Parker.  Benjamin migrated to Arkansas about 1839 after shooting Andrew McCallie, Richard, Jr. migrated to Iowa about 1840, William died suddenly and mysteriously in 1843, and Nathan remained in Hamilton County and survived bankruptcy.  The Shipley from this family lived primarily around the towns of Soddy and Daisy, now Soddy Daisy, Hamilton County, Tennessee.  Today this Shipley is collectively known as the Soddy Shipley.

There are several other disconnected Shipley families in eastern Tennessee which can not document ancestry to the Sullivan County Shipley, the Washington County Shipley, the Sale Creek Shipley, the Soddy Shipley, or the Shipley of Maryland.  This is a result of lost documents due to wars, nature, and neglect.  Some persons speculate that all of these Shipley are descendants of Adam Shipley of Maryland.  Some current researchers are using DNA testing to assist in determining relationships among these various lines.

On the envelope this is written:
"Postmaster, If Mr. George Shipley
or some of his family cannot be found, please open and read and answer.
& obliged
               Richard Shipley,
               Clio Iowa." ~1780 - 1857 Henrietta HUGHES 77 77 Hannah Retta Hughes was born about 1780 in Tennessee.  Her parents may be Francis Hughes and Rebecca Allen although this is not proved.  She married Richard Shipley, Sr. about 1804 in Tennessee.  They had four known sons:  Benjamin Franklin, Nathan, William Park, and Richard, Jr. as well as at least one possible daughter, Elizabeth.  Richard, Sr. was murdered about 1819.  Hannah then married William McAllister.  There is conflicting information about this marriage.  In some documents it is listed as May 5 or 8, 1825 and in other documents it is given as May 8, 1828.  Her death date, as documented in the Revolutionary War pension papers of William McAllister, is Nov. 15, 1858 in Tennessee.

(Is Hannah Retta Hughes a child of Francis Hughes born about 1759???  It is pure conjecture she is.  There is no proof or any documentation for this hypothesis other than the close proximity of Hardeman (Hardy) Hughs to Benjamin Shipley, son of Hannah Retta, in the 1830 Hamilton County, Tennessee census.  Hardeman Hughs may be a son of Francis Hughes; that is not proved either.  In 1860 Nathan Shipley, son of Hannah Retta, was living next door to John Hughes born about 1779 and the son of Francis Hughes.  Ephraim Hughes, son of John Hughes, son of Francis Hughes lived in the same town.)

Hughes family may have been Welsh according to R. Cecil Shipley.

Application
This document is the basis of Henrietta's pension claim and states, in part:

"On this 4 day of October, A.D., one thousand eight hundred and fifty five, personally appeared before me, a Justice of the Peace within and for said county and State aforesaid Henrietta McAllister, aged 67 years, a resident of Hamilton county, in the State of Tennessee, who being duly sworn according to law, declares that she is the widow of William McAllister deceased, who was a private in the Company of Captain [the Captain's name appears to have never been filled in] in the Revolution in the [space], commanded by [space], in the war with Great Britain in 1776.

".............."

"She further states that she was married to the said William McAllister in Hamilton County, Tenn., on the 8th day of May, A. D. 1828 by one Robert Patterson, a Justice of the Peace and that her name before her marriage was Henrietta Shipley; that her said husband died at Bradley County, Tennessee on the 3rd day of October, A. D. 1842, and that she is now a widow.

"She further declares that she has never before made application for bounty land under any other act of Congress nor has not ever received any Bounty Land.

"She makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the bounty land to which she may be entitled under the "act approved March 3, 1855".  She further says she has no public or private Record of marriage [Note: given the context in which this document is written and the flavor of the other documents in file, I interpret this to mean she has no public or private record of marriage to William and that it is not intended to indicate whether she may or may not have record of marriage to any other man.] and says she applies for a pension under the act of Congress passed the 3rd of March 1853 and a pension was allowed her her pension [not sure of the penmanship here];certificate was dated the 30th day of September 1853 for Eighty Dollars per annum; and proof of marriage made by G. W. and Joseph Campbell which she declares is now in the pension office."

This declaration is then signed by Henrietta McAllister by her "X".

At the bottom of the document, written in longhand, are the comments "....On this 4th day of October .... personally appeared before me ...... Joseph Campbell and Robert Bean who both reside in this County and are entitled to full credit and who say ....... they were personally acquainted with William McAllister who was a pensioner of the U.S. and say that the said William McAllister and Henrietta McAllister who has sworn the above Declaration associated and lived to gether as husband and wife ..... and say they have not the Least doubt but they were Lawfully and Legally married at the time stated in the old Lady's Declaration ....."

William's Pension Declarations
In the next document, a Declaration dated September 7, 1832, William describes his Revolutionary War experiences.  No mention is made of a wife in this document.  It was written as part of William's application to the government for his pension.

The next document was prepared by the Clerk of the McMinn County Court certifying the proceedings of a court action in that court in which it was certified that William was, in fact, a Revolutionary War soldier and was eligible for a pension.  In it William states his Revolutionary War history.  Two clergy then attest that this was William and that he was a Revolutionary War soldier.  Finally, the court also stated they felt William was a Revolutionary War soldier and was eligible for a pension.  Again, no mention was made about a wife.

Henrietta's Declarations
The next document is titled "Declaration" and is dated May 2, 1853.  In it Henrietta McAllister swears before D. J. Jones, Justice of the Peace, that "...she is the widow of William McAllister who was a Revolutionary Pensioner and drew a pension at the rate of Eighty Dollars per annum and was paid at Knoxville East Tennessee.

"She further Declares that she was married to the said William McAllister on the 5th day of May in the year of 1825 that her husband the aforesaid William McAllister died on the 3rd day of October in the year of 1842 in Bradley Cty., Tennessee that she was married to him at the time above stated she further swears that she was a widow at the passage of the act and is still a widow and that she has never before made application for a pension having no private record of marriage."  Henrietta signs the Declaration with her "X".

The next declaration was also taken before D. L. Jones and is also dated May 2, 1853.  In it G. W. Campbell and Joseph Campbell swear ".....that they were personally acquainted with William McAllister who was a Revolutionary Pensioner .... and drew a pension at the rate of Eighty Dollars per annum and was paid at the pension Agency at Knoxville, Tennessee.  They further say that they are personally acquainted with Mrs. Henrietta McAllister who has sworn to the above Declaration and that the said William McAllister and the said Henrietta was Lawfully and Legally married in Hamilton County in the State of Tennessee on the 8th day of May in the year of 1825 by one Robert Patterson a justice of the peace for said county.  They say that they were present at the marriage.  That the said McAllister died on the 3rd day of October 1842.  That the said William McAllister and the said Henrietta did Live to gether as man and wife until the day that the said McAllister died and they further say that the said Henrietta was the widow of the said McAllister on the 3rd day of February last and has been ever since the death of the said McAllister and is now his widow ......"

The next document, dated May 2, 1853, was written by James Clift, Clerk of the County.  After stating that he personally knows D. S. James Esq. [it is not clear in the documents whether the middle initial is a "S" or a "L"], G. W, Campbell, and Joseph Campbell, whose signatures are on the pension Declarations, and that they are all "men of truth",  he goes on to state that "....I also certify that I have searched my office for the original License of Marriage but cannot find this owing to a great many of the Marriage Licenses which have been filed in my office being lost or mislade so that they cannot now be found."  Given the subject of this file, it is presumed that he is referring to the original of  William and Henrietta's marriage license.

Pension Summation
The last document, dated October 13, 1937, was written by A.D. Hiller, Executive Assistant, to Thomas J. Barnes of the Magness Memorial Library, McMinnville, Tennessee.  It is unclear to me why this letter was written.  It summarizes this pension file.  In it Hiller states "....William McAllister married Henrietta Shipley, May 8, 1828, in Hamilton County, Tennessee.  The date and place of her birth and names of parents were not given.

"Soldier's widow, Henrietta, was allowed pension on her application executed May 2, 1853, while residing in Hamilton County, Tennessee, at which time she gave her age as seventy-five years; in 1855, she stated that she was aged sixty-seven years, with no explanation of the discrepancy in age, and was still living in Hamilton County, Tennessee, with post office at Chattanooga.  She died November 15, 1859.

"No reference was made in the claim to children......."

As I stated at the beginning, this file, unfortunately, did not answer the question of whether Henrietta Shipley was Hannah Retta Shipley.  The year of their marriage is also stated as both 1825 and 1828.  Hopefully, the next file will be more helpful!
------------------------------------------
R. Cecil Shipley:
"In the 1850 Hamilton County census I found George Campbell, age 62, and Joseph Campbell, age 36.

Remember that Charlotte Campbell, born about 1811 and age 39 in 1850, married our Nathan Shipley about 1828 in Hamilton County.  It is possible that the G. W. Campbell of the document is Charlotte's father and Joseph Campbell of the document is her brother.  And that both are the same persons as the census Campbell.  So they would be witnessing for the mother-in-law of their daughter/sister.

I find it ironic that a Patterson married Henrietta and then a few years later a Patterson acquired all of the property of her son Nathan Shipley when he was bankrupt.

Another irony is that the neighbor of George Campbell in the 1850 census is Archibald McCallie, age 49, most likely the person shot by Blind Ben in 1838."

Sixth Document
The sixth document appears to be written on the back of another document that has been folded over in thirds.  It appears that the other document was Henrietta's Declaration shown as the Seventh Document below.  The wording is short.  The wording on the backside has bled through but since it goes in a different direction than the document, the document is fairly easy to read.

DEPOSITION ________
Case of                   Sarah Shipley                             ,   No.          379.798             

On this            19th                           day of                  Mch.                 , 1890 , at
          7 mi. W. of Chester                        , County of                 Crawford                    ,
State of            Arkansas                         , before me,          H. N. Patton                  , a
Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared       Mrs. Susan               
               Crabtree                                 , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to her during this Special Examination of
aforesaid pension claim, deposes and says:   I count my age 48 years old as
nigh as I know:  housewife  :  P.O address Hale
Crawford Co. Ark.
The Claimant in this case is my mother.  I am the
3rd child.  I do not know my mothers age but she
must be somewhere in 80.  For several years now
she has been quite feeble  - been so that she could get
about, until along sometime this last fall she has been
confined to her own house.
     My fathers name was Benjamin Shipley.  By
him mother had eleven children.  We have no family
record to show the date of mothers marriage to my father,
and the ages of the children.  We all had our ages
set down in a family Bible, but it got destroyed since
we came to Arkansas.  It just got torn up by the
connection using it and handling it about.
     My youngest brother, Elijah Shipley, was 4
years old when father and mother separated.  I don't
know Elijah's age.  I have been married 32 or 33
years and it was before I was married that my
father left.  Thomas was the youngest child and died
2 or 3 wks after he was born.  He was born 2 or 3
years after father left.  Father has been dead about
6 years.  Brother Dick, Jim, + Elijah about were left to
the care of my mother when father left.  They were
little bits of "fellers."  The balance of the children were
married.  My brother Dick was a strong Union boy and
the rebs captured him and hung him.  They had him
Page     30    Deposition    I   

Page      31   
in the Southern army and he deserted them and
was trying to get through to the Union forces and they came
in on him.  That left James + "Lige" at home with mother.
When James got big enough he went into the federal
army.  He was 16 or 17 years old I reckon.  He got so
large that he had to go to the army to keep out of the way of
the rebels.  That left Elijah at home a little bit of a
fellow, not large enough to be of any help to his mother
in supporting her.
     James enlisted in the 1st Ark Inf. But I don't
remember the Co.  Capt. Parker's Co. I think.  I don't
remember the year James died but it wasn't more than
4 or 5 years after he came out of the army, if it was that
long.  I can't tell you the cause of his death unless
it was that that came from his arm.  He was vaccinnated
at Fort Smith Ark. but I can't give the year when it was done,
but it was while he was in the service.  I was not present
when he was vaccinnated.  I went to Ft Smith to see him
and my other brother Park Shipley; both had been vaccinnated
and I saw their arms.  Park Shipley died before James
did and from the same disease - vaccinnation.  There
were no cases of smallpox at Ft Smith - at that time that
I know of.  Both brothers seemed to be affected alike.
When I saw James at Ft Smith he had been
vaccinnated in the left arm between the elbow
and the wrist, on one of them big leaders.  It was swelled
considerably and was as raw as it could be.  I noticed
no other sores on him at that time - either on his face
or other wise.  Park was vaccinated in the same place
and his arm was also very sore.  It was at this time
that I learned that the sores on my brothers' arms were

N. Patton, examiner for Sarah Shipley's pension application, wrote that Park had a terrible skin disease that killed him.(4)   Ancy Dona received a war pension of $8.00.  She was living in White Rock, Franklin County, Arkansas, USA in 1895.  Ansadona is listed in the 1900 census living in Franklin County, Arkansas next door to her daughter, Sarilda Cox.  According to Pauline Akers she died in 1906.  They had four children.

Footnotes:

(1)  Lynne Chandler genealogy report, January, 2000 <LynneC8296 at aol dot com>.

(2)  There was debate whether Ansadona belonged in this family but she does.  William T. Crabtree says in his witness affidavit the 19th of March, 1890, for the Sarah Shipley pension application No. 379,798, that he went to visit Park Shipley who married his sister.  Ansadona would have been born in Kentucky not Arkansas as census records indicate since the Crabtree family moved to Arkansas about 1852.

Footnotes:

(1) Death certificate Number 22-033944, state of California, dated September 05, 1922, and his tombstone list his birth year as 1835 but, he was said to be 83 years, 9 months, 9 days old when he died, which means his birth year would have been 1839.  Cause of death was apoplexy.

(2)  Marriage date has been given as the 16th of January, 1864 in Van Buren, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  I believe this marriage date is incorrect.  1) The 1860 census for Cedar Creek Township, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA page 751, 978/946:  Benj Shipley, 21, m, farmer, $170 (pers), TN, married within the year; Mary, 18, f, AR, married within the year, 2) Their first child, Alice Shipley was born about 1861.  In the 1870 census Alice is listed as 10 years old.

(3)  Tombstone has Oct. 2, 1840.  Another source says Oct. 8, 1841.

(4)  Virginia (Kimes) Pierce Gedcom of the Kimes family, 1999.

[5] Some of his children are missing from the 1880 census record.

William Newton was born in 1838 in Kentucky to Stephen Newton and Mary Jane Crabtree.(1)   He moved to Arkansas with his family in about 1855.  He married Hannah Retta "Heneratta" Shipley about 1856 in Arkansas.  She was born the 4th of January, 1841 or 1842 in Washington County, Arkansas, the seventh child of Benjamin Franklin Shipley, Sr. and Sarah "Sally" Burkett.(2) 
  
Family oral tradition tells this story about their lives:

"William and Hannah were married when he was eighteen and she was fifteen years old.  They weren't married long when someone burned down their house, so they lived under a bluff until they could build another one near Mulberry, Crawford County, Arkansas.  Here Benjamin Franklin was born in 1857, Stephen A. was born in 1859, Lewis was born between 1860 and 1864, and Sarah Melviney was born in 1864.

When the Civil War began, William enlisted in the Confederate Army.  He went home without leave and some soldiers went after him.  He tried to run away but the soldiers shot him.  They thought they had killed him, but Hannah nursed him back to health.  When he was able, he joined the Union Army.  Southern sympathizers harassed the family because William was fighting for the North.  Lewis was killed by "bushwhackers" during the War.

William was at Kansas City, Kansas when the war ended.  His father, Ben(?) Newton, was also at Kansas City.  Hannah and the children joined him there.  William died of cholera soon after the war ended and shortly after William's death Hannah gave birth to another child.  Mary Ann/Polly Ann was born about 1869."

William died in 1868.  Hannah returned to Franklin County, Arkansas with her children.  She married 2) _____ Guess/Guest after 1868.  She married 3) Peter Lewis March 7, 1879 in Franklin County, Arkansas.  She married 4) Franklin "Frank" Faubus about 1896.  He was born the 26th of January, 1831 in Tennessee and he died the 2nd of January, 1916.  She died the __ of October, 1933 in Oklahoma and is buried in Middleton Chapel Cemetery, Oktaha, Muskogee County, Oklahoma.

James Shipley was born about 1845 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  He enlisted in Company "H" of the 1st Arkansas Infantry when he feared rebels might conscript him as they had his older brother, Richard.  He returned home in 1865 and died the 10th of September, 1869 in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA probably from a case of typhoid fever.  After his death family members claimed he died from complications caused by an impure smallpox vaccination administered during the Civil War.  His mother, Sarah, applied for his war pension in 1888.  There was an in-depth review of her pension application in 1890 by special examiner, H. N. Patton.  He took depositions from eighteen people regarding this matter and recommended that the pension application be rejected as "spurious and void of merit."(1)   He believed the family was trying to falsify the circumstances of James's death and mix it up with the death of his brother, William Park Shipley who died of a "terrible skin disease."  In Sarah's pension deposition she says:(2)

"I don't know how old I am.  I am going on 70 odd.  I was born in oats harvest in 1811 I think  :   widow  :   P.O. address Chester Crawford Co. Ark.

I claim a pension as a dependent mother of James Shipley, my son, who died of disease contracted in the service.  He died of smallpox or whatever you called it.  He was broken out all in scabs under his arms, over his face and about all over him.  He got the
disease at Ft. Smith - Ark.  He sent for me to come to see him and I went and staid with him in the tents until he got able and I then brought him home with me.  I expect there were sores on him when I went to see him.  There must have been.  I could not say whether I saw any sores on him at that time or not.  I expect there was though.  Poor fellow he didn't want to go to the hospital and that is the reason he sent for me.  I believe they called the disease small pox.  He was rotten with it I know.  I forget the year that I went too see him.  I don't know "pint blank".  I brought him with me, and them places I've been telling you of broke out again, under his arms and over his face + about just like blisters, and he got so we couldn't move him without his "hollerin".  Yes Sir, he had been vaccinnated.  There was a heap of the soldiers at Fort Smith got vaccinnated and I think James did to.  "I don't know nothing."   I have been sick and am so old that I don't recollect much.  I don't remember the date -  of his death -, but I think it was in Aug.  We were pulling fodder at the time. The cause of death was the breaking out and his being in the army.  I had four boys in the army, and they all died after they came out of the service.  We had a doctor over here somewhere but I don't know his name.  to give him some treatment.  That was a night or two, or day or two, or a wk before James died.  He lived out here at Chester.  He was never stout after he came out of the army.  "He lived till he died."  He was able to go about like the rest of the soldiers.  He had this breaking out until he died. He was mortified poor fellow.  They couldn't put his shoes on after he died without pulling his feet off, he was so mortified.  He was scabs all over.  Yes, his arm was all raw when I came to see him at Ft. Smith - and it liked to have come off.  I don't remember which arm it was.

I don't remember "pint blank" when he enlisted.  He was old enough to go into the army, but I can't say how old he was when he enlisted.  He wasn't of age, - was just a boy.  He lived at home with me and he made corn, or helped, for all of us -- helped to make a living like a child ought to do.  He sent me $2.00 or $3.00 after he went into the service. I ought to know who he sent it by but I don't.  That is all he ever sent me.  It was silver money I believe.  I depended in part on James for my support because he worked at home to make the living.  I don't know the Co or Regt. he belonged to.

I don't know where my girls were when James enlisted.  They were with their Pa where ever he was.  I only had one child at home when James enlisted, and that was Elijah.  He was younger than James.  Me and him, that child, went to Ft. Smith to tend to James."

Hn. Green B. Raum
     Commissioner of Pensions
          Washington D.C.
Sir:
     I have the honor to return this paper
and to submit my report in the above indicate
claim, which was referred to the S.E. Div to
determine incurrence of soldiers disability
in service and also dependence, contributions
date + cause of death.
     The claimant was properly notified
and her rights fully explained to her.
     Claimant is pretty old and was in
quite feeble health when I was there.  The
case was opened up in March and
on account of the comrades living in
so many different localities I have been
unable to complete it until now.
     A short history of this event seems
to be:  that several years prior to the war
Page 3

Claimants husband, being a pretty hard
case, left her and never returned, or aided
her in anyway in caring for the little
ones; but when the war came up James,
to soldier, and "Lige" were her only support
and dependence.  "Lige" is about a half witted
fellow not smart or intelligent by
any means; that James was vaccinnated
while in the service, but how, when or by
whose orders the testimony fails to show, and
his mother went after him, brought him
home and nursed him until his arm
got well; that in 1869 - Sept. while pulling
fodder for a brother, decd. he became
overheated, took suddenly sick at his
Aunts, decd. and died of typhoid fever
in 19 days there after; that Claimt. Never
applied for back bounty and never filed
her claim for pension, as a dependent
mother, until Sept. 1888.
     John T. Dotson, a comrade of doubtful
veracity, testifies before me that soldier was
vaccinnated at Waldron Scott Co. Ark in Sept.
1864; that soldier died of fever + had no
sores, pimples or blisters on him +c.  Compare
this with his former affidavit (B.J. 6)
     Wm. Y. Oliver a comrade of good repute
testifies that he only knows that soldier was
vaccinnated by hearsay.  However was one
on his arm 5 or 6 months before he (depment)
Page 4


Enlisted (Oct. 1864) and never saw anything
but the scar after enlistment.  Never saw
any skin eruptions +c. Vaccinnated in right
arm this time (In BJ.7)
     This claim has been worked up
by a grandson, W.L. Shipley, an imspossible person
whose standing for truth is not good in his
community.  He is not "overly" bright
being rather a "smart aleck", if I am
permitted to use that expression.  Wm Oliver
(B.J. 7) told me in a conversation after I had
taken his evidence that they had promisd
him $10.00 for making the affidavit in case
the claim was allowed.  He could not be
qualified which one of the family it was,
but was under the impression it was "Lige"
the half witted fellow.  W. L. Shipley would
stoop to almost anything to gain his point
and it would not surprise me that he offered
witnesses money to testify.  He testifies himself that
in case his grandmother got a full pension
he was to get $50.
     In coming to a conclusion in this
case, I will briefly say, that in my
opinion, the soldier was vaccinnated
while in the service, but that it never
hurt him in the least - nothing spurious
about the virus.  It is a fact that soldiers
brother, Park Shipley, decd. had a terrible skin
disease and died a terrible death.  I believe
they are trying to mixed these two brothers up
Page 5


that soldier died in Sept. 1869
of typhoid fever brought on no doubt
by over exhaustion ?  ??? pulling fodder
and that his death causes no way
connected with the service.  I believe
the claim to be spurious and void
of merit, and I there fore recommend
rejection.
Very respectfully
H. N. Patton
Special Examiner

PS. Geo. Wells + W N. Moore (Inlist) knew
nothing for or against and I did not take
their evidence.

DEPOSITION ________
Case of                   Sarah Shipley                             ,   No.          379,798             

On this              24                        day of              Mch.                , 1890 , at
     Mountainburg                             , County of                 Crawford                      ,
State of            Ark.                             , before me,           H. N. Patton                   , a
Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared         Dr James           
            S. Bushong                                 , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this Special Examination of aforesaid
pension claim, deposes and says:   I am 51 years old :  practicing physician
since March 1869.  not a graduate. Attended two courses of
lectures at Louisville Ky.
     I remember James Shipley.  I was called to see him
once and perhaps twice during his last illness.  I don't know
how long he lived after I went to see him the last time.  I
heard he was dead some 3 or 4 days after I was there.
I have no record and I have to testify from memory.  He died
in Aug or Sept. 1869.  There was no other Dr called in to see
him that I know of.  I do not know how long he had been
sick when I went to see him, but it was several days though  He
must have been sick 3 or 4 wks all told.  I made a thorough
physical examination of him and I am not certain whether
he had pneumonia or typhoid fever.  I think there were symptoms
of typhoid, because he was delirious both times I went to see
him.  The time being so long ago, and having to speak from memory
it is my mind that it was typhoid fever and he was very
low when I went to see him.  I don't remember that he had any
symptoms of pneumonia.  He might have been taken with pneumonia
and it run into typhoid, but I don't remember now.  I remember
he was considerably emaciated.  He had considerable fever when
I was there.  I don't remember what history of the case I got
of the family when I went to see him.  I think he had been working
in a fodder field when he was taken sick.  Some of the family
told me that.  I don't remember that they told me that he had over done
himself pulling fodder.
     No Sir.  I noticed no other disabilities when I examined him
Page     24    Deposition    F   


Page      25   
I examined his lungs ????????. I noticed nothing else
but an acute attack of fever.  I noticed no skin eruptions,
In all fevers there are purlple splotches on the face.  There were
no pimples or sores.  It was just the redress from the fever.
I noticed no ulcers or sores on him any where.  I did not
notice any indications of syphilis.  I did not suspect
any thing of the kind and I made no examination for it.
From the parts I examined breast + bowels - I noticed
nothing that would raise my suspicions in that direction.
I did not examine his bare arms.  I don't remember of
him having any bed sores.  I heard nothing concerning
spurious vaccinnation.  I don't remember to have seen a
sore or ulcer on him, or of hearing any thing about it.
I think he had been working in the fodder field, or that is what
they told me, and was taken sick, but I can't say whether
he was taken suddenly or whether it came on gradually.  He was
at his sister-in-laws while sick.
     They have been here as much as twice to get me to make
a statement and I told them I could not do them any good.
One of the Shipleys came, but as I had never seen him before,
(I think it was a Shipley) I can't say which one and he said if I would make them
a statement that would get them a pension I would get $25.00
for it.  Just the same thing as offering me $25.00 to make this affidavit
I know Wm. L. Shipley, at Chester and it wasn't him that offered me
that $25.00.
     I am not related to the Claimt.   I have no ill will or prejudice
against the claim.  I am in favor of the granting of pensions when they are
just.
     I have understood the questions asked and my answers have
Been correctly recorded in this affidavit.

On this            25th                        day of             Mch.                  , 1890 , at
           Rudy                                    , County of           Crawford                           ,

              Dotson                               , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this Special Examination of
aforesaid pension claim, deposes and says:  I will soon be 47 years old  :  occupation
farmer:  P.O address Rudy Crawford Co. Ark.
     I was a private in Co. "H" 1st Ark. Inf. I enlisted
in Mch. 1863 and was discharges Aug. 10 "1865.  I served
2 yrs. + 7 months and you count it yourself.  When I enlisted
I lived on Cedar Cr.  This county about 4 miles from here.   After
I was discharged I went back to the same place and lived
there about 17 years.
     I knew James Shipley ever since he was a little boy.
We were playmates together.  We served in the army together
and were bunk + mess mates pretty near all the time,
except when out on scouts.
     I know of nothing being the matter with him while
in the service, except being vaccinnated.  He was punying
around ever after that.  He was vaccinnated at Waldron
Scott Co., Ark. Along about Sept. 1864.  I am not positive as to
the month but I know it was in 1864, because we both-
"jined" about the same time and he didn't serve any longer
than I did and that is the way I know it was 1864.  I know
we were discharged.  I am sure of that.  Dr. Robinson
a surgeon in our Regt. vaccinnated him.  I don't know where
Dr. Robinson is.  He ran off shortly after he vaccinnated
the boys and he hadn't been in the Regt. very long before.  I
didn't see Shipley vaccinnated.  They tried to get me to go
and I wouldn't do it, so I ran off that day.  I saw the place
Shipley was vaccinnated, and it was on the right wrist,
about 4 inches above the wrist joint, on the inside.  I saw
Page     13    Deposition    B   

Page      14   
the place the next day and I don't reckon it was longer
than a wheat grain - just enough to make the blood run.
No Sir.  There was no smallpox at Waldron at that time that
I know of.  The reason I think he was vaccinnated at Waldron
Ark is because I know where Waldron is, and we were there
when it was done.  For two or three days after Shipley was
vaccinnated his arm swelled and then it began to break
out in "yaller" blisters and then they would turn purple.
These places broke out up to his elbow and I think there
were one or two places above the elbow.  Some of the places got
as big as a quarter of a dollar.  I never saw any sores
on him anywhere else but on the right arm while in the
service.  I know his arm came mighty near rotting off.
Yes Sir, he went to the hospital and was there a good while.  I
don't recollect whether I saw him while he was in the
hospital.  I won't be certain whether he was in the hospital
at Waldron or at Fort Smith.  I believe we had come back to
Fort Smith. Yes Sir I saw some sores on that arm after he
came back from the hospital.  It ????? finally cured up.
The main places ????? cured up but it would break out
in other places on his arm.  When he was discharged his
arm was nearly a solid sore.
     When discharged he went on to Mulberry Creek I
think and I went on to Cedar Cr.  I have never been
in Mulberry but I think it was about 25 miles from
where I lived.  I don't have any idea how long we lived
that far apart.  I did not have much to do with him after
the war.  About 4 years before he died I think, he moved to within
about 4 miles of me.  I just saw him occasionally Sundays
when I'd go up there.  I don't know what year he died.  He died
in the fall of the year.  In his last illness he sent for me one

     evening and he died the next morning.  I got there
too late for him to recognize me.  He didn't know me at
all.  I stood right over him when he drawed his last
breath.  He had a heap of fever and he was rearing
and trying to climb the wall.  He was plumb crazy and
he would "holler" that the house was on fire.  From the
way he acted I thought the misery was in his head.
He didn't know anything.  I don't recollect whether it was
fever or what it was that killed him.  I did not help
wash + dress him.  I did not see him naked.  No Sir:  I never
noticed any sores on him.  I didn't stay in the house after he
died.  No Sir.  I don't recollect of seeing any sores on his
face before or after he died.  I don't think there was any.  It looks
like if there had been any sores, pimples or blisters on his
face I would have noticed it, because I wet his tongue
with a rag just before he died.  The summer before he
died he punyied around and was not able to work much and
he said vaccinnation was the cause of it and he thought
it would kill him.  In his last illness, I was informed
that he was taken very suddenly.  I don't think he was sick
very long.  I never heard that he was sick until they sent
for me.  He was working for the widow Shipley when he took
sick or I was told.  I don't know anything about him pulling
fodder.  I don't know what he was doing.  He died about
10 oclock one day and he was buried the next day evening.  They
burned hair + feathers in the woods after he died.  He said
the vaccinnation gave him a heart disease.

Well Sir, I don't think James Shipley was a bad man
after the women.  I think he was a virtueous man.  I
never heard of him having any thing the matter with him
that way.
     The affidavit I have given you in reference to date;
place and the arm he was vaccinated in is correct
according to my best recollections.  I'd swear he wasn't vaccinnated
at Fort Smith.  It is bound to be ????? in ?????? affidavit as to
its being in the fall of 1863.  All I know about Shipley having
a crippled arm is what he told me himself.  I never
axed him to look at his arm after he came out of the service.
I know his arm was sore when he was mustered out of
the service.  He complained to me that he was not able to
do more than ½ work.
     My recollection is that James Shipley was vaccinated
at Waldron Ark in the fall of 1864 in the right wrist, and
they cant never make me believe anything else.
     They never promised to give me anything for making
?????? affidavit.  They said if they got it they would pay
me for my trouble but didn't say how much.
     I am not related to Claimt.  I have no interest
in the claim.

     I was not acquainted with James Shipley
prior to enlistment and I have never seen him since
discharge I was neither a bunk or mess mate.
I really can't recollect much about him.  As well
as I recollect he was a young man about 6 ft. high.
     I can't call to mind of any thing being the
matter with him in the service.  I don't remember
of him getting wounded or hurt in any way.  I was from

very well in the service.  I never had very much
to do with him.  I can't recollect about him being
in the Co. but I was better acquainted with others than
I was with him.
     I can not recall of his being sick or left
in hospital while in the service.  It does appear
now that he was left in the hospital at Fort Smith
in 1864 about the spring of the year, but I cant be
positive.  I don't remember what he was sent to
the hospital for.  It just seems to me that he was
in the hospital but I am not certain about it.

On this              28th                        day of            May                   , 1890 , at
         Near Griggs                           , County of             Logan                          ,
State of                Arkansas                        , before me,         H. N. Patton                 , a
Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared       Samuel                       
          J. (could be T or F) Shelton        , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this Special Examination of aforesaid
pension claim, deposes and says:  I am 54 years old:  occupation
farmer:  P.O. address Griggs, Logan Co. Ark.
     I belonged to Co. "H" 1st Ark. Inf. - first a
Corpl., then a duty Sergt, and about the summer
of 1864 was appointed Orderly Sergt. of the
Co. and was mustered out Aug. 10, 1865.
     There were two Shipley boys in my Co. but
I can't get them separated.  They were from a different
county and I did not know them prior to enlistment
and I have not known them since discharge.
     No Sir:  I do not know the condition of these men.
I can't call to mind whether either had any
injury or ailment while in the service.  If there
was any thing physically the matter with either
while in the service I have forgotten it.
     I do not know that James Shipley was
vaccinnated with impure virus.  I can say
this that a great many of our regiment
were so vaccinnated but to say that James
Shipley was I can't single him out personally.
the vaccinnation was done at Fort Smith - Ark.
in the fall of 1863 I reckon.  Some of the boys had
considerable trouble with their arms.  It was
serious with a good many of them.
Not being able to call to mind the Shipley
boys, or separate one from the other.  I can't state
whether either was sick or sent to the hospital
or not.  My associations with the boys from other
Page     20    Deposition    D   


Page      21   
counties were not so great as it was
with the boys from my own county, consequently
there might have been something the matter
with the Shipley boys and I not have
known it, or paid as much attention to it
as I would have done had they been from
my own county boys.
     I am not related to the Claimt.  I have
no interest in the claim ??????????.
     I have understood the questions asked
and my answers have been correctly recorded
in this affidavit.

DEPOSITION ________
Case of                   Sarah Shipley                             ,   No.          379,798             

On this              27th                        day of            Mch.                   , 1890 , at
         Mulberry                             , County of             Franklin                          ,

             Oliver                                   , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this Special Examination of aforesaid
pension claim, deposes and says:  I was 42 years old the 1st of last
Nov. :  occupation blacksmith + farmer: P. O.
address Mulberry, Franklin Co., Ark.
I was a private in Co. "H" 1st Ark. Inf. According
to my discharge, which I now show you, I enlisted
Oct. 1st 1864, and was discharged Aug. 10, 1865
     I knew James Shipley before the war.  We were
own cousins, raised up together, lived 3 or 4 miles
apart, soldiered together, bunked and messed
together.  He was in the service longer than I was.
     I know of nothing being the matter with him, but
vaccinnation, while in the service.  I did not see him
vaccinnated and I only know that he was vaccinnated
by him saying so.  He said he was vaccinnated at
Fort Smith.  It was before I went into the service.  I
cant tell you the year he was vaccinated.  When I
went in to the service I know he had a terrible big scar
on the right arm, as well as I recollect now, between the
wrist and elbow, about ½ or 1/3 of the way between
the wrist joint and elbow.  There was no sore.  He com-
plained of sharp shooting pains in his arm + shoulder
and he would often grab his arm and screw + twist
around and use some rough word or another and bemoan
the vaccinnation.  He complained like a man with
rheumatism.  It would last and hr. or two.  He either
let on a heap or was actually hurt.  The arm seemed to be
smaller than the other.  The scar on his arm was
as big around as a dollar in silver and was rather
Page     17    Deposition   C   

Page      18   
sunk down in his arm.  He did not complain any where
else but that arm.  The way I imagined it, his arm would
get numb and feel bad and pained him and he would
go on sick report and claim he was not going to do
guard duty with that arm.  Before I went into the service
5 or 6 months before, he came home on furlough with the sore
on his arm and he was at home 5 or 6 months with it.  It
was a sight to look at.  I cant say what month or year he
came home with the sore arm but it seems to me now it
was the same fall that I enlisted which would make
it in 1864.  There was just one rising sore.  It just festered

Crabtree, born in 1850 in Kentucky.  Catherine and William H. died between 1850 and 1853 in Kentucky. 

Miles married 2) Ibbey Jane Shipley about 1853 in Madison County, Arkansas, USA.  She was born about 1831 in Tennessee the second child of Benjamin Franklin Shipley, Sr. and Sarah "Sally" Burkett.  She was living in Washington County, Arkansas, USA by 1841.  Her family moved to Crawford County, Arkansas, USA by 1845.  Ibbey Jane was living with her mother's brother, George Washington Burkett, during the 1850 Madison County, Arkansas census (His name was misspelled as Bucket.).  

Miles was the brother of Ansadona Crabtree, the wife of Ibbey Jane's brother William Park Shipley.  Miles was also the brother of William Thomas Crabtree, the second husband of Ibbey's sister, Susan Arabella Shipley.  Miles and Ibbey had eight children:  Isabelle born about 1854, William Riley born in 1855, Almira Jane born in 1857, Sarah A. born in 1859, Mary T. born in 1861, Martha T. born in 1865, Nathan, and Thomas.  Isabelle is said to have been born in Kentucky and all the other children were born in Arkansas.(2)

Miles enlisted for the Confederacy the 5th of July, 1862 as a private in the 35th Arkansas Infantry County, K King's Regiment, Northwest Division Trans-Mississippi District at Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas, USA.  He was 5'11" tall with blue eyes, dark hair, and a dark complexion.  He deserted the 28th of October, 1862 and again the 10th of January, 1863.  He was dropped from the roll the 1st of April, 1863.

Ibbey Jane died about 1870 in Franklin County, Arkansas, USA.  She is buried in Wagner Cemetery in Franklin County, Arkansas, USA.(3)   Miles then married 3) Elizabeth Carty about 1873 in Arkansas.  They had one daughter, Addie Crabtree, born in 1874.  Miles died between 1911 and 1912 in Harrelton, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  He is buried in Baxter Cemetery in Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.

Footnotes:

(1)  Information on the Crabtree descendants is from:  The Crabtrees of America, self-published, 1988 by Ruth Cromwell Crabtree of Alma, Arkansas.

(2)  Miles and Ibbey married in Arkansas in about 1853.  Isabelle was probably born in Arkansas, not in Kentucky, just as all the other children were.

According to Vontrece J. Miller, who gives as source - Crawford County, History Book by Clara Eno - he was hanged from the tree by the bushwhackers during the Civil War era. 1855 - 1914 Saphronie J. Reynolds 59 59 Stephanas is her given name in some records.

DEPOSITION ________
Case of                   Sarah Shipley                             ,   No.          379,798             

On this              19                   day of             Mch                  , 1890 , at
     7 mi. W. of Chester                            , County of                 Crawford                      ,
State of            Ark.                             , before me,           H. N. Patton                   , a
Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared         W. T.           
            Crabtree                                 , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this Special Examination of
aforesaid pension claim, deposes and says:   I am 46 years old  :  occupation
farmer P.O. address Hale Crawford Co. Ark.
     The claimant is my mother in-law.  I married
her daughter since the war.
     I enlisted in Co. F 13th Kans. Inf. sometime in
the spring of 1864, and was discharged in Aug. or
Sept. 1865.  I lived in Madison Co. when the war
came up.  I came to this part of the state along
about Dec. 1864.  I don't know any thing about soldiers
health at + prior to his enlistment.  I had seen him
when he was a little fellow.
     The first I remember seeing him after he
enlisted was at Fort Smith Ark. in 1864, along in the summer.
My Co. was at Van Buren and I just went over to Ft. Smith
to see Park Shipley, a brother of James, whom I was
acquainted with, he having married my sister before
the war.  It was at that time I first met James
Shipley in the service.  No, there was nothing the matter
with him then.  The first I ever knew of anything being
the matter with him was in the summer of 1865
just before he was mustered out.  I dint know
how I happened to see him there.  I cant remember
two minutes.  I get bothered.  I think I have got this
thing backwards.  I think it was after we both
were mustered out that I noticed this vaccinnation
in his arm.  I'll get it right after while.  I was mustered
out at Little Rock Ark.  Towards the middle or last of
August.  I dint know when James Shipley was mustered

out.  The first I saw him after discharge was at Van Buren Ark.
His folks were all there, and Park Shipley and I came up here
in the mountain.  I don't recollect whether Jim was along with us or
not.  It was at Van Buren almost immediately after my discharge that
I saw Jim Shipley and he had his left arm in a sling.  There was
a sore between the elbow + wrist, eaten out as big as a silver
dollar and must have been a quarter of an inch deep.  He
said that sore was caused by the "vaccinate" they put in his
arm.  I did not notice any sores on him any where else at that time.
His health appeared to be bad otherwise.  He seemed puny
all over + weakly.  Nothing the matter with his lungs that I recollect of.
His health was puny up to his death.  Before he was taken
down sick he broke out in little specks just like he had
the measles - just seemed like little blisters.  That was not
more than 3 or 4 weeks before he took down bed-fast.  Under
his arms it got so sore that they couldn't handle him in bed.
There were no splotches on his face that I recollect.
No sores that I recollect of.  He was down bed fast I
expect 2 or 3 wks.  Dr. James Bashon of Mountainburg Ark treated him.
I thought he died with pneumonia fever.  I didn't hear
the Dr or any body else say so.  Well, I just had the idea
that it was pneumonia, but I can't tell why I thought so.  I
reckon I must be mistaken about it being pneumonia.
I've had so much trouble and when I get bothered I can't
get the right end of it.  Well, I can hardly imagine
the cause of his death - unless it was that vaccine.  That
was what I was trying to get at when I said it was pneumonia.
I can't tell why I think it was the vaccinnation that killed
him.  When I get wool-gathered I can't think of any thing.  I
can't tell what I want to tell.
     I was present when soldier died.  I don't recollect of any
                         his

Coatney and Manerva C. Kenner.   Ky Coatney, Earl Long and Albert Howell robbed the Farmers and Merchants Bank the 1st of April, 1932 in Prairie Grove, Washington County, Arkansas, USA. They took approximately $4,168 before leaving the bank.  Howell was arrested just days after the robbery and Long was arrested in Holdenville, Hughes County, Oklahoma, USA.  Ky held out and was finally captured in July of 1932 near Van Buren.  He was supposed to meet his brother, Sy, at a designated spot and the police found out somehow.  There was a shoot out between Ky and the officers.  According to the authorities Ky was shot in the knee and died from shock   The family tells the story differently.  They say Ky was shot by Crawford County Sheriff Albert Maxey and was brought to Van Buren.  While they had him laying on the Court House Lawn, he asked for water and was refused.  He bled to death while lying on the lawn of the court house.  Ky died the 14th of July, 1932 in Cedarville, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.   He is buried in Morrison Cemetery, near Rudy, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  Lee married 2) D.

Griffith) after 1932.  He was born the 22nd of March, 1898.  He died the 26th of February, 1974 and is buried in McCurry Cemetery, Rudy, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  She died the 4th of July, 1984 in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas, USA and is buried in McCurry Cemetery, Rudy, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  Ky and Lee had two sons.


Ky Coatney married his first cousin, Lucile Coatney, daughter of his father's brother, Jonathan Coatney.
According to Book of Burials, Volume Two, by George Julian Hawkins, Ky Coatney, divorced, was shot by Sheriff Albert D. Maxey. Other resources say that the sheriff denied having shot him, that he was shot in the leg and died sometime later due to complications in healing.

Letter from Cliff Bowlin (c.bowlin@@worldnet.att.net)
"I did a check of the SSDE files and found Lucille Griffith listed. Birth dates, death dates and location matched, so that confirms the headstone. I found a Dee Griffith in the SSDE also.  Again the record matched.  That would seem to confirm the D.W. Griffith name."
(Ky Coatney's widow Lydia Lucille Coatney, married D.W. Gritfith.
For the information of all, these are the three records as I have them now, July18, 1997:
Ky Coatney, Male
Father:  William Loransie Dow Coatney (10 Nov. 1853-30 Sep 1927)

Ky Coatney,Earl Long and Albert Howell robbed the Farmers and Merchants Bank, April 1, 1932 in Prairie Grove, Washington Co., AR. They took approx $4,168 before leaving the bank.  Howell was arrested just days after the robbery and Long was arrested in Holdenville, OK. Ky held out and was finally captured in the fall of 1932 near Van Buren.  He was supposed to meet his brother, Sy, at a designated spot and the police found out somehow.  There was a shoot out between Ky and the officers.  Ky swas shot in the knee and died from shock. There is an article in the Washington Co. History Book by Allen M. Hardt. Also article in the Fayetteville Daily Democrat. "

Letter received from Kathleen O"Kelley:
"The family here (Arkansas) tell the story of Ky's different.  In general they say:  Ky was shot by Crawford Co. Sheriff Albert Maxey, and was brought to Van Buren.  While they had him laying on the Court House Lawn, he asked for water and was refused.  He bled to death while lying on the lawn of the court house. Information given to Kathleen by Elsie Bowman Coatney."

Crabtree says in his witness affidavit the 19th of March, 1890, for the Sarah Shipley pension application No. 379,798, that he went to visit Park Shipley who married his sister.  Ansadona would have been born in Kentucky not Arkansas as the 1870 census record indicates since the Crabtree family moved to Arkansas about 1852.  The 1850 and the 1900 census list her birthplace as Kentucky.

My group sheet showing Minnie Geneva "Neva" Shipley has her marrying James Audrey Day on 26 Jul 1909 in Orosi, Tulare Co., CA. I know the Tulare County web page has early searchable marriages online and assume that's where I got the info but there's also a chance it was shared by one of the Shipleys online. My notes don't make it clear where that particular bit of info came from.

I do show Neva's Social Security number as 568-36-86188 which seems like one digit too many, so my info on her appears to be a bit shaky.    I list her California death record under two numbers: 2196 and 50837. I know she was in Orosi Twp. in the 1910 census. 1895 - 1985 Hazel Alice Shipley 90 90 1897 - 1946 Nathan William Shipley 49 49 1899 - 1973 Clifford Thomas Shipley 74 74 1900 - 1922 Lenore Elizabeth Shipley 22 22 1909 - 1992 Charles Edgar Shipley 83 83 1882 - 1962 Adelle Mae Beaver 79 79 1910 United States Census: Township 5, Fresno, California; Roll: T624_76; Page: 2B; Enumeration District: 0055; FHL microfilm: 1374089.

Name:     Coral Ethelyn Shipley
Death Date:    14 Oct 1908
Death Place:   Fresno, California, USA [--?--] Shipley 1838 - 1868 William Newton 30 30 William Newton was born in 1838 in Kentucky to Stephen Newton and Mary Jane Crabtree.(1)   He moved to Arkansas with his family in about 1855.  He married Hannah Retta "Heneratta" Shipley in 1856 in Arkansas.  She was born the 4th of January, 1842 in Washington County, Arkansas, USA the seventh child of Benjamin Franklin Shipley, Sr. and Sarah "Sally" Burkett.(2)  
    
Family oral tradition tells this story about their lives:

"William and Hannah were married when he was eighteen and she was fifteen years old.  They weren't married long when someone burned down their house, so they lived under a bluff until they could build another one near Mulberry, Crawford County, Arkansas, USA.  Here Benjamin Franklin was born in 1857, Stephen A. was born in 1859, Lewis was born between 1860 and 1864, and Sarah Melviney was born in 1864.

When the Civil War began, William enlisted in the Confederate Army.  He went home without leave and some soldiers went after him.  He tried to run away but the soldiers shot him.  They thought they had killed him, but Hannah nursed him back to health.  When he was able, he joined the Union Army.  Southern sympathizers harassed the family because William was fighting for the North.  Lewis was killed by "bushwhackers" during the War. 

William was at Kansas City, Kansas when the war ended.  His father, Ben(?) Newton, was also at Kansas City.  Hannah and the children joined him there.  William died of cholera soon after the war ended and shortly after William's death Hannah gave birth to another child.  Mary Ann was born about 1869." 

William died in 1868.  Hannah returned to Franklin County, Arkansas, USA with her children.  She married 2) _____ Guess/Guest after 1868.  She married 3) Pete Lewis before 1895.  She married 4) Franklin "Frank" Faubus about 1895.  He was born the 26th of January, 1831 in Tennessee and he died the 2nd of January, 1916.  She died the __ of October, 1933 in Oklahoma and is buried in Middleton Chapel Cemetery, Oktaha, Muskogee County, Oklahoma, USA.

Certificate Number:      985  ~1867 Austin C. Mayhew ~1807 - >1880 Nathan Shipley 73 73 Nathan Shipley was born about 1807 in Tennessee the second identified son of Richard Shipley, Sr. and Hannah Retta Hughes.(1)   He married Charlotte Campbell about 1828 in Tennessee.  She was born about 1811 in Tennessee.  Nathan and Charlotte had nine children all born in Tennessee (probably in Hamilton County since he and Charlotte remained there until their deaths):(2)   Louiza (about 1830), Marion (about 1832), Richard (about 1834), Mary (about 1836), Elizabeth (about 1838), William Nathan (1841), Delila or Delia(3)  (1843), Margaret (about 1845), and Nathan Taylor (1849 or 1850)(4).  

The Shipleys were said by a kinsman to be "easy going, sociable, but never set any branches afire with their industriousness or prosperity.  Slow to get up in the mornings, they milked the cows, went to the fields long after the sun was high and hot, milked and slopped the hogs, had supper way after dark - after which some neighbors would likely drop in to talk a while.  No one went to bed until Uncle Nathan read selections from the Bible and all would kneel while he prayed.  After the marriage of William to Elmira Gothard, they lived in the home for a while and it was said that she frequently went to sleep while he prayed.  She loved and respected the family as long as they lived." (5)

In 1828 Nathan acquired 200 acres on the lower side of Opossum Creek near Bakewell, Hamilton County, Tennessee, USA.  He operated a mill on the property and was in business with Richard Shipley in the firm N. Shipley and Brother.(6)    In 1835 Nathan made a good investment in a lot in Dallas.  He paid $30.12 for it and then sold it that same year to Samuel Igou for $150.(7)   By 1840 he found himself in financial trouble eventually losing all his property at public auction.

"...he fell into debt.  A judgment was entered against his mill and surrounding several hundred acres.  The property went in 1840 to Robert McRee and Lewis Patterson for $500, but that sale was voided and it passed to John W. Saunders and George W. Martin for $200 in 1842.  Finally, William Clift in 1843 took advantage of the Nathan Shipley bankruptcy by getting his 300 acres for "50 cents - he being the highest and best bidder."(8)

"B. B. Cannon bought his "valuable mill seat" and 25 acres on Falling Water Creek for only a $1 bid.  In 1844, the Shipley mill was sold to Wilson Hixson for $30."(9)   The mill wheel still exists. 

Nathan and Charlotte remained in Hamilton County all their lives.  He died after 1880 in Hamilton County, Tennessee, USA and Charlotte died after 1880.(10)

Owen to his grandson Rick Albright was that, when courting, Richard had to row a boat across the river to visit Julinda.  Richard worked as a blacksmith during the week and was a local preacher of the Methodist faith on the Sabbath.(5)  The couple was living in Bledsoe County, Tennessee in 1835 when Nancy Ann was born.  William Preston was born there in 1837.  Supposedly, Julinda rowed across the Cumberland River with her babies to visit her folks when her babies were little.(6)   By 1839 the family was in Hamilton County, Tennessee where Benjamin Rush was born.  Family tradition is that they moved to Missouri in 1843.(7)   It is more likely that they moved in 1842 since Sarah Elizabeth was born in Lawrence County, Missouri in February, 1843.  Family folklore is that, "Richard left Tennessee because he was a Methodist minister and a Republican and the South called them all Yankees."(8)   It is thought they traveled the Tennessee River, the Ohio River, the Mississippi River, and the Arkansas River to visit Richard's brother, Benjamin in Arkansas on their way to Missouri.(9)  Their last four children were born in Lawrence County, Missouri:  Reuben Richard in 1848, Mary Susan in 1849, Joseph Douty in 1852, and George about 1859.  They were in Eddyville, Mahaska County, Iowa by the 11th of January, 1861 when Julinda died.(10)   She is buried across the county line in Hayden Chapel Cemetery, Monroe County, Iowa probably the 14th of January, 1861.(11)   Richard married 2) Amanda Cline the 12th of May, 1862 in Mahaska County, Iowa.(12)   She died the 14th of February, 1863 in Iowa and is buried in West Des Moines Township, Mahaska County, Iowa.(13)   There were no children born of this marriage.  He married 3) Sarah Ann Fisher the 4th of July, 1863 in Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa.(14)   She was born on the 14th of December, 1839 in Deer Creek Lower Township, Harford County, Maryland, USA to James Fisher and Jane Ellen Boyd.(15)    Richard and Sarah had six children.  Johnnie W. and Ellen Jane were born in Eddyville, Mahaska County, Iowa in 1863 and 1865, respectively.  Hannah Rettie "Rita" was born in Allerton, Wayne County, Iowa in 1867.  They then moved to Clio, Wayne County, Iowa where their last three children were born:  Lulla May in 1869, Etta Eliza in 1872, and Eddie in 1874.  Richard became dissatisfied with the Methodist Church and joined the Highland Baptist Church in Wayne County, Iowa where he was certified to preach the 13th of October, 1895.  He died the 13th of January, 1908 in Clio, Wayne County, Iowa.  Sarah died the 28th or 29th of April, 1918 in Clio, Iowa at the home of her daughter, Hannah Rettie (Shipley) Preston.(16)   Richard and Sarah are buried in the Clio Cemetery.

Footnotes:

(1)  All information on Richard Shipley, Jr. and his descendants is from R. Cecil Shipley unless otherwise noted.  His sources were:  1) C.M. Crawley, Sr. of Longwood, Florida, 2) Rick Albright of Merced, California, 3) Allen Dale Garton, and 4) Barbara Howe who had a copy of Richard's death certificate with the above birth and death dates. 
Some people give Richard's birthplace as Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee.  Rick Albright says, "I have NEVER seen any record proving him to have been in Nashville, Davidson Co., TN at any time.  The Rhea/Bledsoe/Hamilton area is his home place, to the best of my knowledge, and his residing there is proven several times over."

(2)  Lynne Chandler lists Dallas, Tennessee as the place of marriage.  Others have listed Nashville, Tennessee.

(3)  Rick Albright of Merced, California at <KD6DKC@@aol.com> says that as far as he knows "that is her hometown.  He has no evidence that she was ever anywhere else but in that region of Tennessee.  Census records also give Tennessee as her place of birth."

(4)  Rick Albright of Merced, California at <KD6DKC@@aol.com> says, "I suspect her father may have been named William based solely on the fact that no other person of that surname of the proper generation has so far come to light in Hamilton County."  The only Windoms in the state of Tennessee on the 1840 census were William Windom in Hamilton County, and Sharlott Windom in Marion County (next to Hamilton).

(5)  Doug Moomey says, "I don't think he became a preacher until after he moved to Missouri and possibly not until after he moved to Iowa.  His obituary states "...He professed Christ in the year 1849 at the age of thirty-five years, became a member of the M.E. church and was a local minister for that denomination ....".  Since he moved to Missouri sometime around 1841-1842, this would mean he was not baptized until after he lived in Missouri for 5-10 years."

(6)  This story and Julinda's red hair are taken from the notes of Effie Belle Shipley Jewell.  It is believed by some researchers that it was the Tennessee River or one of its tributaries that Julinda rowed across and not the Cumberland River since all the known evidence of birthplace or dwelling place for the Shipley, Hughes, and Windom families points to the area where Hamilton, Bledsoe, and Rhea counties intersect and there is no evidence that places any of these families in Davidson County where the Cumberland River is found.  (The known evidence is from census records, official county death/estate/bankruptcy records and Union Army service/pension records, in some of the latter cases quoting the actual person involved as to where they were born or married.)

(7)  Burnette Wishmeyer, January 13, 1978.  From Raymond E. Newell who found this information in his mother's effects after her death (much of the information originated from Burnette Wishmeyer and was written in 1978).  Shared by Dale Garton <ADG3679@@aol.com>.

(8)  "Taken from a book kept by Effie Belle Shipley Jewell, daughter of Rueben Richard Shipley."  From Raymond E. Newell who found this information in his mother's effects after her death (much of the information originated from Burnette Wishmeyer and was written in 1978) and shared by Dale Garton <ADG3679@@aol.com>. 

(9)  R. Cecil Shipley e-mail states that there is an extant letter Richard wrote to his nephew, a son of William Park Shipley.

(10)  Her death date on the tombstone has been read as the 14 Jun 1862 but this conflicts with his subsequent marriage to Amanda Cline the 12th of May, 1862.  It is now believed that she died on the 11th of January, 1861 which is the date listed on the cemetery records.  The 14th of January, 1861 may be when she was buried.

(11)  Take Route 34 to Albia, Iowa then north on 37. The chapel is on the north side of the road.  Julinda and William (a son) are buried side by side with identical stones.

(12)  Doug Moomey located the marriage records in Mahaska County.  Amanda's father was George Cline, who was in Tazewell Co., Illinois just before 1830 until he moved to Mahaska County, Iowa in the late 1840s.  His widow owned 40 acres in Des Moines Township, which later was sold to Cooper Boyd Fisher, brother of Richard Shipley's third wife, Sarah Ann.  Richard also owned 40 acres in that township.

(13)  Rick Albright of Merced, California at <KD6DKC@@aol.com>.

(15)  Rick Albright says:  "The 14 Dec 1839 date came from Richard Shipley's Bible as quoted by my grandfather and his sister, but I did NOT personally see the entry. However, Sarah Ann Fisher Shipley's newspaper obit says she "... was born in the state of Maryland in the year of 1839 and passed away April 29, 1918 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Rettie Preston at the age of 79 years, 4 months and 15 days."" If Sarah's December 1839 birth is correct, her mom must have become pregnant with Sarah quite soon after delivering another child as Sarah's brother Stephen John Fisher was supposedly born 11 Feb 1839.  Some give her birth year as 1836.

Richard Shipley
Obituary

Richard Shipley was born in Tennisee Nov. 15, 1814 and died at Clio, Iowa, January 13, 1908, having reached the extreme age of ninety-three years and almost two months, and retained his mental and physical powers powers in a wonderful degree. He was first married in 1834 to Zulinda Windham in Tennisee. The date of her death we unable to give. To this union were born five sons and three daughters, of who two sons and three daughters remain. He was again married to Miss Amanda Kline in south Missouri, who lived thereafter but about a year leaving no children. In July 1861 he was married to Miss Sarah A. Fisher. To this union were born two sons and four daughters of whom three daughters remain. All his surviving children were present together for the first time in forty years, and were recognized by uncle Dick as he was most familiarly known to the last moments of his life. Besides the seven sons and daughters mentioned, Mrs. Nancy Hunt of south Missouri, Benj. F. Shipley of Jefferson township, Mrs. Mary Garton of Clay township, Richard Shipley of Brock, Neb, and Madams Ella Cook, Etta Owen and Rittie Preston of Clio, he leaves forty-five grand children, seventy-five great grand children, and six great great grand children.
Mr. Shipley made a profession of the religion of Christ in the year 1849 and became a member of the Methodist church and for many years served the church as an efficient local preacher. About 1895 he changed his connection to the Baptist church where his order as a lay preacher was also recognized. By trade he was a blacksmith, and in his day pronounced a good one, and worked at the anvil until he had passed the allotted space of three score and ten years, working in the shop week days and preaching as opportunity offered on Sabbaths. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church in Clio and conducted by his long time friend, Elder G. W. Smith of Fairfield, Iowa, a great number attending to show their marks of respect for a strong and good man passing away with the frosts of many years upon his honored head.

Rick Albright's thoughts:  "If Richard Shipley Jr. WAS pro-Union, that MIGHT explain why he didn't tary in Arkansas and also did not remain over long in Missouri. Both states had rather mixed loyalties at that time and we know some pro-Union Shipleys and their in-laws in Arkansas were the victims of bushwhackers/scalawags because of their unpopular views.  I suspect the departure from Tennessee may have had more to do with the family falling on hard times there and lingering hard feelings about the possible feuds that sparked the earlier shootings. I have no proof, just a possible scenario."

This is an excerpt from The Churches of Wayne County Iowa
HILAND BAPTIST CHURCH
CLIO IOWA


Sept 1895 Rev. R. Shipley was recieved into the church and baptized by Rev. C. W. Headly in the presence of a vast concourse of people. The scene they presented as they stood in the water on that beautiful day is one never to be forgotten. The candidate, a man of 80 years, with his form bowed with the weight of years and the administrator a man scarcely more than a boy in the health and vigor of young manhood.

The Hiland Baptist Church was about 2 miles north of Clio and was built in 1875.

The 14 Dec 1839 date came from Richard Shipley's Bible as quoted by my grandfather and his sister, but I did NOT personally see the entry.  Sarah Ann Fisher Shipley's newspaper obit says she "... was born in the state of Maryland in the year of 1839 and passed away April 29, 1918 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Rettie Preston at the age of 79 years, 4 months and 15 days."  Her tombstone reads  "April 28, 1918 age 79 yr, 4m, 15 d."

In 1970, the Iowa State Department of Health wrote me that Sarah Ann Shipley's 1918 death had not been recorded, which might have offered another bit of evidence about her birth year. Oddly, Richard Shipley's 1908 Iowa death WAS recorded, so it was a slip-up of some sort not that the state did not require it in 1918.

Bit of trivia: If Sarah's December 1839 birth is correct, her mom must have become pregnant with Sarah quite soon after delivering another child as Sarah's brother Stephen John Fisher was supposedly born 11 Feb 1839.

Sarah's parents were James Fisher (1798-1853) and Jane Ellen Boyd (1803-1875) who lived in Harford Co., MD (on the Maryland/Pennsylvania line) before moving to Kenton Co., Kentucky and then southern Iowa.




If you figure her birth date from her tombstone reading  "April 28, 1918 age 79 yr, 4m, 15 d, " it says her birth date is Dec. 13, 1838. 1835 - 1914 Nancy Ann Shipley 79 79 1837 - 1862 William Preston Shipley 25 25 William Preston Shipley was born the 10th of October, 1837 in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, USA.  He never married and enlisted in the Civil War on the 13th of August, 1862.  He died the 20th of October, 1862 in Camp Lincoln, Keokuk County, Iowa, USA during the Civil War, supposedly of measles.  He is buried at Hayden Chapel Cemetery, Monroe County, Iowa, USA by his mother's side.  His name appears on a stone in memory of the Civil War veterans in Eddyville Park.

Joseph Douty Shipley And Nicey Emaline "Emma" Abercrombie Family
Douglas L. Moomey
December 21, 2005

Joseph Douty Shipley was born on June 12, 1852 in Green Township, Lawrence County, Missouri, the seventh child and fourth son born to Richard Shipley (Jr.) and Julinda Windham Shipley.  At least one source, however, gives his date of birth as January 17, 1852.  There was one additional child born to Richard (Jr.) and Julinda after Joseph Douty was born - George.  However, although no documentation has been found concerning him, it appears that George died at a very young age.  Joseph, therefore, was, for all practical purposes, the youngest child of Richard (Jr.) and Julinda. 

It is not known where his middle name - Douty - came from.  It has the appearance of a family name.  However, the name has not shown up elsewhere in the Shipley family history and no existing Shipley family member knows of its origin.  If it was a family name, therefore, it most likely was a name on the Windham side of the family.  The Douty name was not found in any of the early censuses of the Hamilton County, Tennessee area.  Since it is not known where Julinda Windham Shipley was from, other than that she was living in Hamilton County when she and Richard (Jr.) were married, it is not possible at this time to search the censuses, or other documents, of other areas in an attempt to locate the origin of the name.  

In his early life, Joseph Douty was apparently known as Joe Shipley.  By the time he moved to Kansas as a young man, however, he was apparently using only his first two initials.  He was, therefore, known as "J. D. Shipley" in his later life.

The Richard Shipley (Jr.) family moved from Lawrence County, Missouri to Mahaska County, Iowa in 1856.  The family first lived in Oskaloosa, Iowa.  According to Benjamin Rush Shipley's obituary, they wintered in Oskaloosa in 1856 and then moved to Eddyville, presumably in the spring of 1857.  Since Joseph was only about four and a half years old when the family moved to Iowa, the move was probably not a difficult move for him. 

Since Joseph had not been born yet when the 1850 census was taken, he first appears in the 1860 Mahaska County, Iowa census.  He is shown in Richard Shipley's household as a seven-year old son.  However, young Joseph's life was about to take some major changes shortly after this census was taken.

1862 had to be a very traumatic year for young Joseph.  Joseph was not yet ten years old when his mother, Julinda Windham Shipley, died on January 11, 1862.  And, he was still one month short of this tenth birthday when his father remarried.  His new stepmother, Amanda "Mandy" Cline Shipley, and his father were married on May 12, 1862 in Mahaska County, Iowa. 

He had, however, just turned ten years old when his two oldest brothers left Iowa to fight for the Union army during the Civil War in Company D of the Thirty-sixth Iowa Infantry Volunteer Regiment.  His oldest brother, William Preston Shipley, enlisted on August 13, 1862 while his next oldest brother, Benjamin Rush Shipley, had already enlisted on August 5, 1862.  Both brothers were mustered into the Thirty-sixth Iowa on September 6, 1862.  And, he was still just ten years old when he helped bury William Preston Shipley, who died on October 20, 1862.   William Preston had only been in the army forty-five days when he contracted measles at Camp Lincoln, Keokuk, Iowa, and died. 

1863 was somewhat less traumatic for young Joseph, but was still a difficult year for him.  He was three months short of his eleventh birthday when his stepmother, Amanda Cline Shipley, died.  Amanda died on March 14, 1863, possibly of childbirth, and is buried in the Cline family plot in the Bluff Creek Cemetery in Mahaska County. 

And, he had turned eleven years old just twenty-two days before his father again married.  Richard (Jr.) and Sarah Ann Fisher were married on July 4, 1863 at Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa.  No record exists as to the relationship between Joseph and his new stepmother.  However, since Sarah was only thirteen years older than Joseph, he might have felt she was more like an older sister than a stepmother. 

The 1870 Wayne County, Iowa census shows Joseph as a seventeen-year old farm worker living in his father's household.  It is not clear whether Joseph was working on his father's farm at the time or whether he was working on other farms but living at home.  Whichever the case, he did not remain a farmer much longer. 

Sometime between 1870 and 1880, he learned the blacksmith trade and moved to Kansas.  Or, he might have moved to Kansas and learned the blacksmith trade there.  His uncle, Benjamin Franklin Shipley, as well as his father, both had been blacksmiths at one time.  While Richard (Jr.) is shown in the 1850 Lawrence County, Missouri census as a blacksmith, all subsequent censuses and other documents show him as a farmer.  It is unknown whether Richard (Jr.) taught Joseph the trade or if Joseph learned it elsewhere. 

It is not known when or why Joseph moved to Kansas.  His brother, Richard Reuben Shipley, moved to Marshall County, Kansas, in the northern part of the state, sometime between March 1876 and December 1877.  However, it appears that Joseph may have already been living Kansas by that time.  It, therefore, appears that Richard Reuben may have followed his younger brother, Joseph, to Kansas and not the other way around.  One Kansas source has speculated that Joseph may have elected to live in Mitchell County in northern Kansas for a couple of reasons.  This source speculates that (1) small towns in Kansas in those days often advertised in out-of-state newspapers when they needed a certain type of tradesman.  Salt Creek, Kansas may have placed such an advertisement for a blacksmith in an Iowa newspaper and Joseph may have answered their ad.  Additionally, (2) Salt Creek, Kansas was at the time a community of very strong and conservative Methodists.  It, therefore, is possible that Joseph learned of the need for a blacksmith in Salt Creek through the Methodist church.  His father, by that time, was a minister in a local Wayne County, Iowa Methodist church. 

It does not appear, however, that Joseph Douty actually owned the blacksmith shop at Salt Creek.  The shop appears to have been owned by a member of the Abercrombie family.  However, while the shop does not appear to have been titled in J. D.'s name, it does appear that he ran the business.

It should be noted that the town is referred to here as both Salt Creek as well as Saltville.  The Post Office address would have been Saltville, Kansas.  However, the local residents generally referred to it as Salt Creek.

Joseph Douty Shipley is shown in the 1880 Mitchell County, Kansas census as J.D. Shipley.  He was a twenty-seven year old single male, a blacksmith, and a boarder in the Stephen Forsom household.  Stephen was a twenty-year old farmer who lived with his sister, Sarah, a twenty-three year old single woman who was keeping house for Stephen.  The Forsom household was situated at Salt Creek, Kansas.

Interestingly, the Forsom household was only a couple of doors down from the William Wiley Abercrombie household.  The oldest daughter in the William Abercrombie household was Nicey Emaline Abercrombie, age seventeen. 

Joseph Douty Shipley and Nicey Emaline Abercrombie were married on August 17, 1880 in Minneapolis, Ottawa County, Kansas.  Her name is shown differently in various sources.  It is shown as Nancy Emaline (which would conflict with her sister's name - Nancy Caroline Abercrombie), as Emaline Nancy, as Nicy Emaline, as Nicy Emmaline, as well as other variations of these names.  Nicey was a Brookshire family name.  Her mother, Elizabeth Brookshire Abercrombie, had both an aunt and a sister who were named Nicey.  Most legal documents as well as the few family documents that have survived from this time frame referred to her as Emaline.  Nicey Emmaline appears to have also been used fairly often by the Abercrombie family.  Nicey Emaline went by the name of Emma. 

It is not clear why they were married at Minneapolis, Ottawa County and not at Salt Creek, Mitchell County.  They may have eloped.  He was twenty-seven years old and Emma was seventeen years old when they were married.  While this marriage is recorded in the Index of Marriages in Ottawa County, the actual marriage license could not be located. 

Emma was born on October 7, 1862 in Dahlonega, Lumpkin County, Georgia, the oldest child of William Wiley Abercrombie and Elizabeth Armon Brookshire Abercrombie.  She was seven years old when she moved with her family to Mitchell County, Kansas in 1869.  William is shown in the 1880 Mitchell County, Kansas census as a merchant.  In addition to owning the general store at Salt Creek, he also operated a substantial farm. 

Sources in Kansas speculate that the relationship between Joseph Douty and his new in-laws may not have been as good as it could have been.  They speculate that the friction was possibly caused by one or all of the following:
·    The Abercrombie family was from Georgia and moved to Kansas in 1869, after the Civil War.   Emma's father enlisted in the Confederate army at sixteen years of age.  Joseph, of course, while too young to enlist in either army, was from a fairly strong Union family that had lost one son to the Union cause and another son fought for the Union for almost three years.
·    Another speculation for the friction, if it existed, was that the Abercrombie family was fairly wealthy.  Joseph, on the other hand, was a blacksmith from an Iowa farm family of modest circumstances.
·    Another speculation was that the friction may have been caused by the fact that Joseph was ten years older than Emma and that Emma was only seventeen when she married. 
·    Lastly, the W. W. Abercrombie family consisted of fairly strong Baptists whereas the Richard Shipley (Jr.) family members were fairly strong Methodists.  This difference in religious affiliation was a reasonably important item in that era.
It should be stressed, however, that there are no known documents that discuss this relationship, good or bad.  It is mostly a feeling of some members of the current day Abercrombie family.  These sources also state that Emma never wanted to talk, later in her life, about her marriage to Joseph.  However, it is not known why she was reluctant to talk about him or the marriage, if, in fact, she even had this reluctance.

Joseph and Emma had four children.  The first two were twins.  Etta Earnestine Shipley Jones was born on June 18, 1881 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas.  Her middle name is also shown as Ernestine.  Edna Christine Shipley Hatcher, Etta's twin sister, was, of course, also born on June 18, 1881 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas.  Benjamin Wiley Shipley was born on April 9, 1883 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas.  He carries the same middle name as his grandfather Abercrombie and went by the names of B. W. Shipley and Ben Shipley.  4.   Julinda (Julia) Elizabeth Shipley was born on July 20, 1885 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas.  She apparently was given her grandmother's, Julinda Windom Shipley, first name and her other grandmother, Elizabeth Armon Brookshire Abercrombie, provided her middle name.

Joseph died on November 4, 1886 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas and is buried in the Elmwood Cemetery in Beloit.  Shipley family oral history states he died as the result of a wagon or a horse accident.  Unfortunately, neither an obituary or a death certificate could be located, either of which might have identified the cause of death.  He was thirty-four years, four months, and twenty-two days old when he died.  Emma had just celebrated her twenty-fourth birthday twenty-eight days before Joseph died.  Interestingly, Emma's obituary states Joseph died in November 1885.  Obviously, Emma was left with four very small children to raise.  When Joseph died, the twins, Etta Earnestine and Edna Christine, were five years old, Benjamin Wiley was three years old, and Julinda (Julia) Elizabeth was one year old.   

Emma raised the children as a single mother from the time Joseph died on November 4, 1886 until March 1, 1889, when she married John Peck.  It is not known where she lived during these two years and four months, but it is very possible she lived with, or was heavily supported by, her parents.  Her parents were relatively well off compared to the estate Joseph most likely left her.

Nicey Emaline "Emma" Abercrombie Shipley married John Walter Peck on March 1, 1889 in Mitchell County, Kansas.  The marriage license states that both John and Emma were from Mitchell County and shows their names as John W. Peck and Emaline Shipley.  They were married by Sidney Peck, Justice of the Peace.  Sidney Peck could very well have been John's father, although no documentation to that fact was found.  His father's name was Sidney Peck.  According to the marriage license, John was thirty-three years old and Emma was twenty-six years old when they were married.  John Walter brought two children to the marriage and Emma brought four children.  Their first spouses had both died a few years prior to the marriage.

John Walter Peck was born on April 1, 1855 although some sources state he was born in 1856.  His parents were Sidney and Eliza Ann Stanton Peck.  The 1880 Mitchell County census states John Walter was born in Illinois and that both of his parents were born in New York.
 
John and Emma Peck could not be found in the fragments of the 1890 census.  However, sometime shortly after their marriage, they moved from Mitchell County, Kansas to Stillwater, Oklahoma.  Emma's parents had moved to Stillwater by 1891.     

John and Emma are shown in the 1900 Payne County, Oklahoma census.  They were living in Clayton at the time.  John is shown as a forty-four year old farmer and Emma as a thirty-seven year old housewife.  Their children were listed as:
1.   Edna C. Shipley, an eighteen-year old stepdaughter born in June 1881
2.   Benjamin W. Shipley, a sixteen-year old stepson born in April 1883
3.   Julia E. Shipley, a fourteen-year old stepdaughter born in July 1885
4.   Raymond Peck, a thirteen-year old son born in June 1887. 
5.   Sidney C. Peck, an eight-year old son born in August 4, 1891.  Sidney's middle name was Carlton but he apparently went by the name of Carl.  .  In later censuses, he is listed as Carl S. Peck.  He was likely named for his grandfather, Sidney Peck, and might have changed his names around to eliminate confusion with his grandfather's name.  Sidney Carlton died on February 1, 1918 in Greensburg, Kansas and is buried in the Fairview Cemetery in Greensburg.
6.   Eunice E. Peck, a six-year old daughter born on November 3,1893 in Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma.  Her middle name was Eliza.  Eunice later married Charles N. Rich on June 12, 1916 in Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma.  They are shown in the 1930 census as living in Greensburg, Kiowa County, Kansas.  She was living in Greensburg, Kansas when her mother died, as well as when other family members died.  She died in Greensburg on March 3, 1973 and is buried in the Fairview Cemetery in Greensburg, Kansas.
7.   Harlan R. Peck was a five-year old son born in April 11, 1896.  Harlan's middle name was Ralph.  He was born in Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma.  Harlan married Beatrice Martin on March 16, 1940 in Auburn, Nebraska.  Harlan Ralph died on January 31, 1949 at Princeton, Kansas.  He is buried in the Highland Cemetery at Ottawa, Kansas.
8.   Kittie L. Peck, a two-year old daughter born in February 22, 1898.  She is also shown as being born in 1897.    Kittie's middle name was Lee.  She was apparently named for her aunt, Kitty Lee Abercrombie.  Her first name, later in life, is generally spelled Kitty on most documents.  Kitty married Thomas DeArmand on December 24, 1952 in Greensburg, Kansas.  She later married Carl Hertlein on November 15, 1966.  Kitty died on April 30, 1992. 
9.   Baby Peck, a 0/12 year old newborn son born in May 1900.  "Baby Peck" was Ellis Lyndon Peck who was born on May 12, 1900 in Payne County, Oklahoma.  He apparently had not been named yet when the census was taken.  He married Nettie Irene Shuck in Greensburg, Kansas.  Nettie Irene was born on October 28, 1901 in Brenham, Kiowa County, Kansas and was the daughter of Minor Shuck and Ida Freeman Shuck.  Ellis Lyndon and Nettie Irene had eight children.  Ellis is shown as living in Haviland, Kansas when his mother died in 1952 and is shown as living in Greensburg, Kansas when his half-brother, Benjamin, and his half-sister, Edna, died in 1971.  Nettie Irene died in Greensburg, Kansas on October 14, 1989.  Ellis Lyndon died about on May 12, 1900.  Some sources state he died also in Greensburg, Kansas but his last known address in the Social Security records was Coldwater, Comanche County, Kansas.

Edna Christine Shipley was married on February 24, 1901.  She was obviously not living in the household at the time the census was taken in May 1900, however.  The subsequent 1910 census shows a Carl S. Peck, an eighteen-year old son.  That would put his birth year at 1893, not 1891 as shown above.  The 1900 census was taken on June 6, 1900.  The newborn son had apparently not been named yet.  He is shown elsewhere as Ellis L. Peck. 

According to Emma's obituary, the family moved from Oklahoma to Kiowa County, Kansas in 1909.  They farmed north of Greensburg from then until 1922, at which time they retired and moved into Greensburg.

When the 1910 census was taken it shows the John Peck family as living in Valley Township, Kiowa County, Kansas.  John is shown as a fifty-five year old farmer and Emma is shown as a forty-seven year old housewife.  The household also consisted of:
1.   Carl S. Peck, an eighteen-year old son working on the home farm
2.   Eunice E. Peck, a sixteen-year old daughter
3.   Harlan R. Peck, a fourteen-year old son
4.   Kittie L. Peck, a twelve-year old daughter
5.   Ellis L. Peck, a ten-year old son.
By the time this census was taken, the family was getting noticeably smaller.  Etta Earnestine Shipley, Edna Christine Shipley, Benjamin Wiley Shipley, Julinda (Julia) Elizabeth Shipley, and Raymond Peck had all left home.

When the 1920 census was taken, the John Peck family was still living in Valley Township, Kiowa County, Kansas.  John was now sixty-four years old and is still shown as a farmer.  Emma is shown as a fifty-six year old housewife.  The household now consists, in addition to John and Emma, of the following children:
1.   Harlan R. Peck, a twenty-eight year old son and is shown as a farm laborer
2.   Kittie L Peck, a twenty-one year old daughter with no occupation shown
3.   Ellis L. Peck, a nineteen-year old son with no occupation shown.

John Peck died on January 5, 1927 in Greensburg, Kansas after two weeks of serious illness.  His obituary states he had moved to town several years prior to his death due to failing health.  This is consistent with the statement in Emma's obituary that says they moved to town in 1922.  He is buried in Greensburg.

The 1930 census shows Emma Peck as a sixty-six year old widow.  She was still living in Kiowa County, Kansas in the town of Greensburg.  Interestingly, this census mistakenly shows her place of birth as Germany.  She still had two of her children living with her in her household.
1.   Harlan Peck, a thirty-four year old son who is shown as a "Dept. Game Warden".
2.   Kitty L. Peck, a thirty-three year old daughter without an occupation shown.  Kittie apparently changed the spelling of her name from Kittie to Kitty sometime prior to this census. 

Emma's obituary states "…After the death of Mr. Peck, Mrs. Peck resided here with her daughter, Kitty Lee…".  It is not clear when Harlan left home.  It is assumed Emma and Kitty were living in Emma's household.  However, since no census newer than 1930 is available, it is not clear which one was the head of the household.  Kitty did not marry for the first time until seven months after Emma died.

Nicey Emaline Abercrombie Shipley Peck died on May 11, 1952 in Greensburg, Kansas and is buried at the Fairview Cemetery in Greensburg.  She was eighty-nine years, four months, and twenty-six days old when she died.  Her obituary states she was preceded in death by Etta, Carl, Harlan, and Mrs. Blanche Davis.  Blanche Davis was Sara Blanche Peck, Emma's stepdaughter. 1863 - 1865 Johnnie W.

George and Mary had seven children, all born in Wayne County, Iowa, USA; four survived to adulthood.  William Preston was born in 1870.  An infant daughter was born about 1872 (she died that year).  Allen Dale was born in 1874.  He died the year Gilbert Hollister was born in 1877.  Samuel Franklin was born in 1879.  The twins, Edward and Telford Hal, were born in 1879 but Telford died two months later.

Originally members of the Methodist Church, George and Mary joined the Unity Baptist church about 1888.  George "was active in educational matters and held offices in connection with the schools of his township for many years. "  He also served as township clerk and justice of the peace for Clay Township.  He joined the Masonic fraternity in January of 1866 and was an active member of his lodge.  Mary died the 16th of April, 1910 in Wayne County, Iowa, USA.  George died the 17th of May, 1925 in Wayne County, Iowa, USA.  Both of them are buried in Cunningham Cemetery, Wayne County, Iowa, USA.

Written and Researched by Douglas L. Moomey
December 21, 2005

Joseph Douty Shipley and Nicey Emaline Abercrombie were married on August 17, 1880 in Minneapolis, Ottawa County, Kansas.  Her name is shown differently in various sources.  It is shown as Nancy Emaline (which would conflict with her sister's name - Nancy Caroline Abercrombie), as Emaline Nancy, as Nicy Emaline, as Nicy Emmaline, as well as other variations of these names.  Nicey was a Brookshire family name.  Her mother, Elizabeth Brookshire Abercrombie, had both an aunt and a sister who were named Nicey.  Most legal documents as well as the few family documents that have survived from this time frame referred to her as Emaline.  Nicey Emmaline appears to have also been used fairly often by the Abercrombie family.  Nicey Emaline went by the name of Emma. 

It is not clear why they were married at Minneapolis, Ottawa County and not at Salt Creek, Mitchell County.  They may have eloped.  He was twenty-seven years old and Emma was seventeen years old when they were married.  While this marriage is recorded in the Index of Marriages in Ottawa County, the actual marriage license could not be located. 

Emma was born on October 7, 1862 in Dahlonega, Lumpkin County, Georgia, the oldest child of William Wiley Abercrombie and Elizabeth Armon Brookshire Abercrombie.  She was seven years old when she moved with her family to Mitchell County, Kansas in 1869.  William is shown in the 1880 Mitchell County, Kansas census as a merchant.  In addition to owning the general store at Salt Creek, he also operated a substantial farm. 

Sources in Kansas speculate that the relationship between Joseph Douty and his new in-laws may not have been as good as it could have been.  They speculate that the friction was possibly caused by one or all of the following:
·    The Abercrombie family was from Georgia and moved to Kansas in 1869, after the Civil War.   Emma's father enlisted in the Confederate army at sixteen years of age.  Joseph, of course, while too young to enlist in either army, was from a fairly strong Union family that had lost one son to the Union cause and another son fought for the Union for almost three years.
·    Another speculation for the friction, if it existed, was that the Abercrombie family was fairly wealthy.  Joseph, on the other hand, was a blacksmith from an Iowa farm family of modest circumstances.
·    Another speculation was that the friction may have been caused by the fact that Joseph was ten years older than Emma and that Emma was only seventeen when she married. 
·    Lastly, the W. W. Abercrombie family consisted of fairly strong Baptists whereas the Richard Shipley (Jr.) family members were fairly strong Methodists.  This difference in religious affiliation was a reasonably important item in that era.
It should be stressed, however, that there are no known documents that discuss this relationship, good or bad.  It is mostly a feeling of some members of the current day Abercrombie family.  These sources also state that Emma never wanted to talk, later in her life, about her marriage to Joseph.  However, it is not known why she was reluctant to talk about him or the marriage, if, in fact, she even had this reluctance.

Joseph and Emma had four children.  The first two were twins.  Etta Earnestine Shipley Jones was born on June 18, 1881 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas.  Her middle name is also shown as Ernestine.  Edna Christine Shipley Hatcher, Etta's twin sister, was, of course, also born on June 18, 1881 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas.  Benjamin Wiley Shipley was born on April 9, 1883 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas.  He carries the same middle name as his grandfather Abercrombie and went by the names of B. W. Shipley and Ben Shipley.  4.   Julinda (Julia) Elizabeth Shipley was born on July 20, 1885 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas.  She apparently was given her grandmother's, Julinda Windom Shipley, first name and her other grandmother, Elizabeth Armon Brookshire Abercrombie, provided her middle name.

Joseph died on November 4, 1886 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas and is buried in the Elmwood Cemetery in Beloit.  Shipley family oral history states he died as the result of a wagon or a horse accident.  Unfortunately, neither an obituary or a death certificate could be located, either of which might have identified the cause of death.  He was thirty-four years, four months, and twenty-two days old when he died.  Emma had just celebrated her twenty-fourth birthday twenty-eight days before Joseph died.  Interestingly, Emma's obituary states Joseph died in November 1885.  Obviously, Emma was left with four very small children to raise.  When Joseph died, the twins, Etta Earnestine and Edna Christine, were five years old, Benjamin Wiley was three years old, and Julinda (Julia) Elizabeth was one year old.   

Emma raised the children as a single mother from the time Joseph died on November 4, 1886 until March 1, 1889, when she married John Peck.  It is not known where she lived during these two years and four months, but it is very possible she lived with, or was heavily supported by, her parents.  Her parents were relatively well off compared to the estate Joseph most likely left her.

Nicey Emaline "Emma" Abercrombie Shipley married John Walter Peck on March 1, 1889 in Mitchell County, Kansas.  The marriage license states that both John and Emma were from Mitchell County and shows their names as John W. Peck and Emaline Shipley.  They were married by Sidney Peck, Justice of the Peace.  Sidney Peck could very well have been John's father, although no documentation to that fact was found.  His father's name was Sidney Peck.  According to the marriage license, John was thirty-three years old and Emma was twenty-six years old when they were married.  John Walter brought two children to the marriage and Emma brought four children.  Their first spouses had both died a few years prior to the marriage.

John Walter Peck was born on April 1, 1855 although some sources state he was born in 1856.  His parents were Sidney and Eliza Ann Stanton Peck.  The 1880 Mitchell County census states John Walter was born in Illinois and that both of his parents were born in New York.
 
John and Emma Peck could not be found in the fragments of the 1890 census.  However, sometime shortly after their marriage, they moved from Mitchell County, Kansas to Stillwater, Oklahoma.  Emma's parents had moved to Stillwater by 1891.     

John and Emma are shown in the 1900 Payne County, Oklahoma census.  They were living in Clayton at the time.  John is shown as a forty-four year old farmer and Emma as a thirty-seven year old housewife.  Their children were listed as:
1.   Edna C. Shipley, an eighteen-year old stepdaughter born in June 1881
2.   Benjamin W. Shipley, a sixteen-year old stepson born in April 1883
3.   Julia E. Shipley, a fourteen-year old stepdaughter born in July 1885
4.   Raymond Peck, a thirteen-year old son born in June 1887. 
5.   Sidney C. Peck, an eight-year old son born in August 4, 1891.  Sidney's middle name was Carlton but he apparently went by the name of Carl.  .  In later censuses, he is listed as Carl S. Peck.  He was likely named for his grandfather, Sidney Peck, and might have changed his names around to eliminate confusion with his grandfather's name.  Sidney Carlton died on February 1, 1918 in Greensburg, Kansas and is buried in the Fairview Cemetery in Greensburg.
6.   Eunice E. Peck, a six-year old daughter born on November 3,1893 in Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma.  Her middle name was Eliza.  Eunice later married Charles N. Rich on June 12, 1916 in Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma.  They are shown in the 1930 census as living in Greensburg, Kiowa County, Kansas.  She was living in Greensburg, Kansas when her mother died, as well as when other family members died.  She died in Greensburg on March 3, 1973 and is buried in the Fairview Cemetery in Greensburg, Kansas.
7.   Harlan R. Peck was a five-year old son born in April 11, 1896.  Harlan's middle name was Ralph.  He was born in Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma.  Harlan married Beatrice Martin on March 16, 1940 in Auburn, Nebraska.  Harlan Ralph died on January 31, 1949 at Princeton, Kansas.  He is buried in the Highland Cemetery at Ottawa, Kansas.
8.   Kittie L. Peck, a two-year old daughter born in February 22, 1898.  She is also shown as being born in 1897.    Kittie's middle name was Lee.  She was apparently named for her aunt, Kitty Lee Abercrombie.  Her first name, later in life, is generally spelled Kitty on most documents.  Kitty married Thomas DeArmand on December 24, 1952 in Greensburg, Kansas.  She later married Carl Hertlein on November 15, 1966.  Kitty died on April 30, 1992. 
9.   Baby Peck, a 0/12 year old newborn son born in May 1900.  "Baby Peck" was Ellis Lyndon Peck who was born on May 12, 1900 in Payne County, Oklahoma.  He apparently had not been named yet when the census was taken.  He married Nettie Irene Shuck in Greensburg, Kansas.  Nettie Irene was born on October 28, 1901 in Brenham, Kiowa County, Kansas and was the daughter of Minor Shuck and Ida Freeman Shuck.  Ellis Lyndon and Nettie Irene had eight children.  Ellis is shown as living in Haviland, Kansas when his mother died in 1952 and is shown as living in Greensburg, Kansas when his half-brother, Benjamin, and his half-sister, Edna, died in 1971.  Nettie Irene died in Greensburg, Kansas on October 14, 1989.  Ellis Lyndon died about on May 12, 1900.  Some sources state he died also in Greensburg, Kansas but his last known address in the Social Security records was Coldwater, Comanche County, Kansas.

Edna Christine Shipley was married on February 24, 1901.  She was obviously not living in the household at the time the census was taken in May 1900, however.  The subsequent 1910 census shows a Carl S. Peck, an eighteen-year old son.  That would put his birth year at 1893, not 1891 as shown above.  The 1900 census was taken on June 6, 1900.  The newborn son had apparently not been named yet.  He is shown elsewhere as Ellis L. Peck. 

According to Emma's obituary, the family moved from Oklahoma to Kiowa County, Kansas in 1909.  They farmed north of Greensburg from then until 1922, at which time they retired and moved into Greensburg.

When the 1910 census was taken it shows the John Peck family as living in Valley Township, Kiowa County, Kansas.  John is shown as a fifty-five year old farmer and Emma is shown as a forty-seven year old housewife.  The household also consisted of:
1.   Carl S. Peck, an eighteen-year old son working on the home farm
2.   Eunice E. Peck, a sixteen-year old daughter
3.   Harlan R. Peck, a fourteen-year old son
4.   Kittie L. Peck, a twelve-year old daughter
5.   Ellis L. Peck, a ten-year old son.
By the time this census was taken, the family was getting noticeably smaller.  Etta Earnestine Shipley, Edna Christine Shipley, Benjamin Wiley Shipley, Julinda (Julia) Elizabeth Shipley, and Raymond Peck had all left home.

When the 1920 census was taken, the John Peck family was still living in Valley Township, Kiowa County, Kansas.  John was now sixty-four years old and is still shown as a farmer.  Emma is shown as a fifty-six year old housewife.  The household now consists, in addition to John and Emma, of the following children:
1.   Harlan R. Peck, a twenty-eight year old son and is shown as a farm laborer
2.   Kittie L Peck, a twenty-one year old daughter with no occupation shown
3.   Ellis L. Peck, a nineteen-year old son with no occupation shown.

John Peck died on January 5, 1927 in Greensburg, Kansas after two weeks of serious illness.  His obituary states he had moved to town several years prior to his death due to failing health.  This is consistent with the statement in Emma's obituary that says they moved to town in 1922.  He is buried in Greensburg.

The 1930 census shows Emma Peck as a sixty-six year old widow.  She was still living in Kiowa County, Kansas in the town of Greensburg.  Interestingly, this census mistakenly shows her place of birth as Germany.  She still had two of her children living with her in her household.
1.   Harlan Peck, a thirty-four year old son who is shown as a "Dept. Game Warden".
2.   Kitty L. Peck, a thirty-three year old daughter without an occupation shown.  Kittie apparently changed the spelling of her name from Kittie to Kitty sometime prior to this census. 

Emma's obituary states "…After the death of Mr. Peck, Mrs. Peck resided here with her daughter, Kitty Lee…".  It is not clear when Harlan left home.  It is assumed Emma and Kitty were living in Emma's household.  However, since no census newer than 1930 is available, it is not clear which one was the head of the household.  Kitty did not marry for the first time until seven months after Emma died.

Nicey Emaline Abercrombie Shipley Peck died on May 11, 1952 in Greensburg, Kansas and is buried at the Fairview Cemetery in Greensburg.  She was eighty-nine years, four months, and twenty-six days old when she died.  Her obituary states she was preceded in death by Etta, Carl, Harlan, and Mrs. Blanche Davis.  Blanche Davis was Sara Blanche Peck, Emma's stepdaughter. 1881 - 1940 Etta Earnestine Shipley 58 58 Etta and Edna are twins. 1881 - 1971 Edna Christine Shipley 89 89 Etta and Edna are twins. 1883 - 1971 Benjamin Wiley Shipley 87 87 1885 - 1974 Julinda Elizabeth Shipley 88 88 1877 Charles Ross Jones 1879 - 1960 Reese Hatcher 81 81 1884 - 1906 May Elsie Davis 22 22 1892 - 1964 Maude Whitaker 72 72 1877 - 1947 Orian Simpson McAtee 70 70 1865 - 1895 William Bryan 30 30 Theodore Preston 1860 - 1942 William Olry Owen 81 81 1897 - 1985 Ella Burnette Owen 88 88 No children. 1891 - 1965 Murrel Richard Owen 73 73 Murrel served in France during World War I in the 87th "Acorn" Division.   1892 Arlie C. "Nick" Wishmeyer 1887 - 1970 Margaret Belle Bright 83 83 1913 - 2001 Louise Owen 88 88 1889 Louila Pearl Allen Name maybe Louela, or Louella. 1861 - 1940 Elbert Thompson Coatney 79 79 Name may be Elbert Thomas Coatney.

John Burkett was born Sep 1854 in Arkansas, and died date unknown. He married Sofroney Summers on 1875. (I believe that this marriage is incorrect)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
It appears that this John Burkett is the son of Jackson Burkett b. abt. 1823 and living in Sebastian County, Arkansas in 1860 with a son, John born about 1855.  They lived in close proximity to the household of William Thomas Crabtree and Susan Arabella Shipley Reynolds Crabtree in 1870.  According to the 1910 census record both John Burkett and his wife Sophronas were previously married.  I believe that may be where some researchers have listed her surname as Summers or Summerhill.

Memories and Stories

No county has been identified as the birth place of Hardeman Hughes.  It is not known if the birth place refers to the area covered by the current state of North Carolina, or the area that was the part of western North Carolina that later became Tennessee.

One source suggests that Hardeman Hughes married in Greene Co TN, and that his wife's name was Cynthia Church.

Various researchers have looked for records which might reveal one or more additional offspring for Hardy Hughes and Sinthia Cook. Candidates include George Hughes b. 1800-1810, Hardy Hughes (see below), and Thomas Hughes b. 1815-1820.

Speculation on the Namesake of Hardeman, the Given Name

    If Hardeman is a surname that married into the Hughes or Allen lines, an instance of such marriage remains to be identified.  What has been found, however, is documented service at the Battle of King's Mountain in the Revoutionary War for both Thomas Hardeman and Francis Hughes, father of Hardeman Hughes.  Thomas Hardeman and his sons proved themeselves as leaders in both Tennessee and Texas, as noted below.

    The following summary for the life of Thomas Hardeman appears on a web site of Frances Casstevens:

        "Thomas Hardeman and wife Mary Harding Perkins moved to NC, the 'Watauga Country' in 1777. He fought at the Battle of King's Mountain, and was Capt. of a company that marched against the Cherokees in the Nicojack War of 1794.

        "In 1783, the Hardemans moved to Davidson County, TN to Hardeman's crossroads near Nashville. In 1788 he served in the NC House of Commons as a representative from Davidson Co. He was a member of the NC Constitutional Convention, and was a delegate to the Convention which adopted the first Constitution of Tennessee.

        "He served as a Senator in the TN General Assembly in 1797. For his Revolutionary War Service, Thomas received 640 acres on the Little Harpeth in Davidson Co., TN (later Williamson Co.). His home was called "Sugar Hill" and was about 5 miles S of Franklin. He later moved to Missouri and remained until 1830, returned and died in TN in 1833)."

"All the family spoke of how sweet, kind, patient, and loving Juda was but William was bad tempered and hot-headed.  Ethel always said her dad was pretty hard on the boys, using the razor strap freely."(6)   He was elected Justice of the Peace of Cedar Creek Township in Crawford County, Arkansas the 6th of September, 1886.(7)   He was literate and helped his grandmother, Sarah Shipley, apply for a pension as a dependent of her son, James.  In 1890 the special examiner for the case described William this way:

"W.L. Shipley, an imspossible (sic) person whose standing for truth is not good in his community.  He is not "overly" bright being rather a "smart aleck," ...W. L. Shipley would stoop to almost anything to gain his point and it would not surprise me that he offered witnesses money to testify.  He testifies himself that in case his grandmother got a full pension he was to get $50."(8)

William and Juda later lived in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas where he worked as a butcher.(9)   She died the 11th of September, 1942 in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas.  He died the 10th of June, 1938 in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas. They are both buried in the Forest Park Cemetery in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas.(10)

Hn. Green B. Raum
     Commissioner of Pensions
          Washington D.C.
Sir:
     I have the honor to return this paper
and to submit my report in the above indicate
claim, which was referred to the S.E. Div to
determine incurrence of soldiers disability
in service and also dependence, contributions
date + cause of death.
     The claimant was properly notified
and her rights fully explained to her.
     Claimant is pretty old and was in
quite feeble health when I was there.  The
case was opened up in March and
on account of the comrades living in
so many different localities I have been
unable to complete it until now.
     A short history of this event seems
to be:  that several years prior to the war
Page 3

Claimants husband, being a pretty hard
case, left her and never returned, or aided
her in anyway in caring for the little
ones; but when the war came up James,
to soldier, and "Lige" were her only support
and dependence.  "Lige" is about a half witted
fellow not smart or intelligent by
any means; that James was vaccinnated
while in the service, but how, when or by
whose orders the testimony fails to show, and
his mother went after him, brought him
home and nursed him until his arm
got well; that in 1869 - Sept. while pulling
fodder for a brother, decd. he became
overheated, took suddenly sick at his
Aunts, decd. and died of typhoid fever
in 19 days there after; that Claimt. Never
applied for back bounty and never filed
her claim for pension, as a dependent
mother, until Sept. 1888.
     John T. Dotson, a comrade of doubtful
veracity, testifies before me that soldier was
vaccinnated at Waldron Scott Co. Ark in Sept.
1864; that soldier died of fever + had no
sores, pimples or blisters on him +c.  Compare
this with his former affidavit (B.J. 6)
     Wm. Y. Oliver a comrade of good repute
testifies that he only knows that soldier was
vaccinnated by hearsay.  However was one
on his arm 5 or 6 months before he (depment)
Page 4


Enlisted (Oct. 1864) and never saw anything
but the scar after enlistment.  Never saw
any skin eruptions +c. Vaccinnated in right
arm this time (In BJ.7)
     This claim has been worked up
by a grandson, W.L. Shipley, an imspossible person
whose standing for truth is not good in his
community.  He is not "overly" bright
being rather a "smart aleck", if I am
permitted to use that expression.  Wm Oliver
(B.J. 7) told me in a conversation after I had
taken his evidence that they had promisd
him $10.00 for making the affidavit in case
the claim was allowed.  He could not be
qualified which one of the family it was,
but was under the impression it was "Lige"
the half witted fellow.  W. L. Shipley would
stoop to almost anything to gain his point
and it would not surprise me that he offered
witnesses money to testify.  He testifies himself that
in case his grandmother got a full pension
he was to get $50.
     In coming to a conclusion in this
case, I will briefly say, that in my
opinion, the soldier was vaccinnated
while in the service, but that it never
hurt him in the least - nothing spurious
about the virus.  It is a fact that soldiers
brother, Park Shipley, decd. had a terrible skin
disease and died a terrible death.  I believe
they are trying to mixed these two brothers up
Page 5


that soldier died in Sept. 1869
of typhoid fever brought on no doubt
by over exhaustion ?  ??? pulling fodder
and that his death causes no way
connected with the service.  I believe
the claim to be spurious and void
of merit, and I there fore recommend
rejection.
Very respectfully
H. N. Patton
Special Examiner

PS. Geo. Wells + W N. Moore (Inlist) knew
nothing for or against and I did not take
their evidence.

DEPOSITION ________
Case of                   Sarah Shipley                             ,   No.          379,798           

On this              22                       day of                Mch.                , 1890 , at
                 Chester                            , County of               Crawford                        ,
State of             Ark.                               , before me,          H. N. Patton                , a
Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared             W. L.               
               Shipley                                , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this Special Examination of aforesaid
pension claim, deposes and says:  I am 36 years old  :  occupation
farmer  :  P. O. address Chester Crawford Co, Ark.
     The claimant is my grandma.
James Shipley died at my mothers.  He was
working at our house when he was taken sick.
I wouldn't be qualified whether he was pulling fodder
or not; Why yes I've heard it said that he was over heated
pulling fodder but I couldn't swear to it.  It was
supposed that he died from the effects of vaccinnation.
I have heard some say that it might have been
some kind of fever that he died with but I don't know
of course.  I was only 16 years old but I helped
to wait on him.  I did not help wash and dress him
but I was present.  I can't say how long he was sick.
I did not know how he acted when he was first
taken.  I can't say whether he was taken suddenly
or not.  It has been too long ago.  He might have
been complaining 2 or 3 wks for what I know.  I
have assisted the old lady in getting up her claim.
I can't ????? give you any of the symptoms of his
last illness - it has been too long ago.  Quite a long
time before he was taken sick I saw him take off his
shirt a hundred times and wring it.  I've seen him
work for hrs at a time without any shirt on. And I remember
his body was of a purple color all over.  I would never
have noticed it, but then I heard him speak about
it and I heard him ask my ma to look at his
hands + body.  At the time of this death I noticed
Page     46   Deposition    O  

Page    47   
some little breaking out around on his face like.  I
can't say where abouts on his face.  It was just blisters.
I cant tell you whether there were any sores or ulcers
or scabs on his face.  He was just broke out like
measles or something.  Why yes I noticed a sore
on his arm, the same arm that I was vaccinnated
in.  That was after he was dead.  Well, it was a scar
and sore together.  There were little sores broke out all
around that scar where he was vaccinnated.  That
scar was just below the elbow and was about 4 inches
long + 1 ½ inches across.  I wouldn't swear point blank
to anything.  That is all the sores or ulcers I noticed on
him.  I can't give any of the symptoms of his last illness
other than above stated.  Cant say whether he was feverish
+ wanted water, or whether he complained of his left side
or of his breast.  I never noticed any thing the matter with
his lungs.  All I ever noticed was his body was
purple + he had a breaking out.  Yes, Sir I have heard
James Shipley speak about old Nan. Blevins, but I don't
remember any thing about it now.  Well, I cant tell you what
kind of a character she has.  She is considered a pretty straight
old lady as far as I know.
     I have heard former affidavit read and the
facts therein are correct.
The old lady told me if I'd get up the evidence
she would pay me well for it.  She told me that if she got
a part pension she would give me $25.00 and if she would
get a full pension she would give me $50.00.  It was just a
verbal contract.  Taylor was her Agt.
I have understood the questions asked, and you
have written my answers down correctly.

John Hughes (son of Francis (G4) Hughes and Rebecca Allen?) was born 1779, and died March 15, 1871 in ,Hamilton, Tennessee. He married Jane Skiles, daughter of William Skiles.

Includes Notes for John Hughes:
John Wilson, a genealogical writer for the Chattanooga News Free Press wrote in an article on April 2, 1995:
A Hamilton County lawsuit in 1880 tells of the objections that Francis Hughes had to his son's relations with Jane Skiles. They had two sons, Hezekiah and Francis (Frank), and were still unmarried. John Hughes left Greene County to head west, but he halted and wrote a letter to Jane Skiles, saying that despite his father's objections he would marry her if she would come to him. She did so and they were married on the Middle Cumberland at the home of a man named Hoover. They returned to Greene County, then pushed on to Hamilton County.

From a letter sent to Margie Shields by David Gray:

"Old John Hughes and wife Elizabeth Skiles were married about 1800 at the Ford or Fork of Cumberland River at home of an Esq Whover (perhaps Hoover?). This is from depositions taken after death of John Hughes in about 1876 in attempts to settle his estate. He died intestate. One deposition said that 2 children (Hezakiah and Francis) were born to Jane Skiles before her marriage to John, but that he was the father of both and that old Francis objected to his marriage as he was only 19. Now further the depositions said that after birth of 2nd child he sent back to Greeneville for her and she joined him at Ford or Fork of Cumberland where they were married by Esq Whover (it is always spelled so). So this probably places Francis Hughes and Margaret, too, in KY for many years - but Francis Hughes you will recall was in Burke Co. NC in 1776 and then on Watauga about 1780 - then in 1832 or thereabouts he was in Greene Co. where he filed for a pension. If all this is correct then he left Shenandoah and was in Burke Co. by 1776"

Note that John was about 15 years old when his father bought 252 acres of land from Martin Click (1794 - Greene Co. minutes). John's son,
Hezakiah, later marries Elizabeth Click, daughter of Martin Click.

In Deed Book 9, page 452, Francis Hughes (et al) sells to John Hughes (his son) and James Allen (John's son-in-law) 178 acres of land on the South Side of Nolichucky River.

John Hughes, Sr. spent his last days with his daughter, Nancy Hughes Hixson. He had earlier transferred to Nancy the girl slave Dol. John Hughes, Sr. was 90 when he died in 1871. His wife, Jane, had died many years earlier.

Tuesday, 28 July, 1812 Bill of Sale from Francis Hughes to John Hughes, dated 3 June 1812 for a negro woman named Aggy and 4 small children.

From "Passports of Southeastern Pioneers, 1770-1823" Cherokee Indian Agency Passports:

"John Hughs has permission to descend the Tennessee River with a Keelbottomed Boat laden with whiskey, Brandy & Cider Royal on his
passage to Pancore on the West side of the Mississippi" I have no idea whether or not this applies to this John Hughs.

R. Cecil Shipley research and thoughts:
"Richard Sr. paid taxes and died in Rhea County in 1819 when William was age 7.

So how was William in Sullivan County in 1835 to marry Martha Roller and then be in Hamilton County when he died in 1843?  We know the Roller family were in Sullivan and the census supports Martha being in Sullivan County after the death of William.

William would have been too young while in Sullivan County to have returned alone to Sullivan County to marry his childhood sweetheart.

Maybe Hannah returned to Sullivan County with the children after the death of Richard Sr. and then the adult sons returned to Hamilton County to marry women from Hamilton County.

What am I overlooking here.

1807 Rhea County created

1805 to 1814 the sons are born

"Postmaster, If Mr. George Shipley
or some of his family cannot be found, please open and read and answer.
& obliged
               Richard Shipley,
               Clio Iowa." ~1817 - BET 1854 AND 1858 Elizabeth Shipley? I believe Elizabeth, the first wife of Gilbert W. Dearing, was a daughter of my ancestors, Richard Shipley, Sr. and Hanna Retta/Henrietta Hughes.   It is not proved that Elizabeth Dearing's maiden name was Shipley but there is circumstantial evidence making this a possibility.

1.  Elizabeth Dearing was born about 1817 in Tennessee.  This would fit into the Richard Shipley family time line.  Richard Shipley died abt 1819 in Rhea County, Tennessee.  This was the area of Rhea County that became Hamilton County and where Nathan Shipley and Gilbert Dearing are found in later census records.
2.  Elizabeth Dearing named her first known child Julinda b. abt. 1837.  Richard Shipley, Jr. b. 1814 (the last known child of Richard and Hanna Retta) married Julinda Windham in 1834.  This could be coincidence or Elizabeth named her daughter after her sister-in-law.
3.  Gilbert W. Dearing's father Anselm Lynch Dearing lived near Nathan and Charlotte Shipley in the 1830 census.
4.  Elizabeth's husband, Gilbert W. Dearing, was the administrator of Hannah Retta Hughes Shipley McAllister's estate.
5.  Gilbert and Elizabeth lived next door to Nathan and Charlotte Shipley in 1850.  Nathan is a son of Richard and Hannah Retta/Henrietta Hughes Shipley later McAllister. 

I don't know if the daughter, Mary E. Dearing belongs to Elizabeth Shipley? or Gilbert's second wife, Elizabeth Wyatt.
