Hi -- I am descended from John Shackelford, who married Sarah Hansard in Elbert Co., GA around 1830. I haven't figured out his ancestry -- would love to trade info with you!  Thanks,

Tee -- Thanks very much for the info!! It doesn't yet connect to my John, but we'll get there eventually. I do have one blurb on Edmund, Sr., which I found over Christmas break:

From the Georgia Journal, Milledgeville, 10/23/1821:   E. Shackleford, Sr., aged 75, d. at his residence in Elbert Co., near Broad River.  A Revolutionary officer. This was in an abstract of old GA newspapers. This puts his birthdate as 1746, which is right on. So, he died sometime in October 1821.

I already had the marriage date for Judey M. Shackelford, but didn't know where she fit in. I have some other Elbert Co. marriages for an Elizabeth & a Mary, fitting in the same time frame. Thanks for sharing all the info, and I'll keep in touch. Greg

Hi Greg,

This is what I have on my line. Haven't been working on it lately and am overwhelmed with deadlines at the moment, but will put your information out to a group of Shackelford researchers and will send you some newsletter information. I have a hunch that all those Elbert Co. Shackelfords are closely related. Best wishes and please keep in touch!

My gggg-grandmother was Judith M. Shackelford, b. 20 Nov. 1794 in Elbert Co. Ga. She was the 8th child of Capt. Edmund Shackelford (b. 8 May 1746 in Orange Co VA) and Judith Eastin (b. abt 1760). Their first 5 children were born in Orange Co VA: Philip Eastin Shackelford (22 Sep 1779)   Edmund Shackelford (7 Jun 1781)     John Shackelford (28 Aug 1783)   Charles E. Shackelford (5 Aug 1785)   Nancy R. Shackelford (20 Nov 1787)  the remaining 7 were born in Elbert Co. GA:   Ruben E. Shackelford (1790) Elizabeth D. Shackelford (1792)   Judith M. Shackelford (20 Nov 1794)   Mary or Polly Shackelford (15 Jan 1796)   Sarah H. or Sally (9 Mar 1797)   Sarah W. Shackelford (9 Nov 1800) Thomas Jefferson Shackelford (23 Feb 1805) Judith M. Shackelford married Mordecai Manning Alexander (22 Jul 1795) in  Elbert Co GA on 7 Aug 1817. They moved their family to Marion Co Florida around 1848. Any information would be appreciated.    Tee A.
