Subject: Shackelford connection, but where?
Hi Patricia, I did send a msg once before, but didn't have a lot of info with me since I was at work. I don't know if my SHACKELFORDS landed in your county or not, but they sure have provided me with lots of entertainment. This is my biggest mystery!! My Shackelford is as follows:

Lincoln Co., KY Records, (and CD) list the following marriages:

Oct 12, 1786, James SHACKELFORD to Sarah HIATT
Dec 16, 1799, John SHACKELFORD, to Polly LAWRENCE
I have also found a record of a Samuel SHACKELFORD, m to Amelia ______
NOW, my questions are: Are Samuel & John related? I have found various records of Sam & John, but no evidence they are the correct people. How many Samuel's are there? If you have a Samuel, please contact me with info so I can try to sort them out? I know that Lucy HICKMAN SHACKELFORD came to CA on wagon train with John SHACKELFORD & Amelia.
Did Samuel die, marry someone else? Who are parents of Samuel? Was John m to Polly LAWRENCE 1st, with Samuel as child? Is the Samuel m. to Suckey WITHERS same man?
