GEORGE SHACKELFORD'S DESCENDANTS
In the September number we began a discussion of the ancestry and descendants of George Shackelford, son of Col. Lyne. We shall now continue that discussion in this issue.
Daniel Bates Shackelford, son of Captain James Thomas and Mary Catherine Bates-Shackelford, was born April 4, 1863, and died March 8, 1933. He was married to Callie D.

Callie Miller------------------------(married Thomas E. Baldwin, Jr.)
Elizabeth---------------------------(married Phillip Frear)
Captain James Thomas Shackelford, son of John Jockaday and Malinda Miller-Shackelford, married for his second wife--Mary Clay Keen. But there appears to be some confusion as to her parentage, as our records show that she was a daughter of Francis and Mary Keen, also that she was a daughter of Oliver McDowell Keen and Sally Clay.

Eugene Hockaday, son of Edwin J. and Juliet E. Shackelford-Hockaday, married Fanny Lake, and they had two children--William and Norma.
