THE TWO JOHN SHACKELFORDS.

In discussing the two John Shackelfords, the Editor has a specific purpose. Two men by the name of John Shackelford or Shackleford played a very important role in the early settlement of America, and separating them, giving each of them their proper ancestry is very important from a genealogical point of view.

As we discussed the immigrant in the October issue, and as you know, The Editor holds to the opinion that the immigrant was Roger, and that he came to America prior to 1658, as Edward Palmer was granted land at that time, specifically for the transportation of eight persons into the Colony, among them being Roger Shackelford. This we know.

But there are those who have the opinion that the immigrant was John, and that he came to America in 1649, and that he settled in King & Queen County, Va., that it is not known whom he married, but it is supposed that it was late in life. And he is said to have married the eldest daughter of John Livingston, of South Carolina, and is known to have had two sons--John and Benjamin.

Now the Editor of The Clan Magazine does not wish to start an argument with any one, but we are interested solely in facts, and shall be happy to

--2 (50)--

accept facts when they are proven as facts.

Roger, the immigrant, came to America prior to 1658, and with him was the sister of Edward Palmer, Mary, who later became the wife of Roger. But it is not definitely proven that Mary Palmer was the wife of Roger, but available records indicate she was. They had four sons--James, Francis, John and Zachariah. Since Roger is known to have come to America prior to 1658, and was granted land prior to 1678, it is very probable that he married during that that (sic) time, or from 1650-1670. His sons then were probably born from 1655 to 1665-70, and began to be married between 1680 and 1695.

The Editor of "The Clan" holds to the opinion that the John who married Miss Livingston, was the above mentioned John, son of Roger, and that he was born about 1655 to 1665, and married about 1695.

Now then we shall discuss this John, whom we believe to be the son of Roger, the immigrant.

That he married a Miss Livingston seems to be an accepted fact, although we have never located a marriage record. But he is said to have had a brother-in-law--John Livingston, who married a Miss Muscoe, of Essex County, Va.

Records in Essex Co, Va., show a deed between Francis Shackelford, of South Franham Parish, and John Shackelford, of Petsworth Parish, for 150 acres, dated March 1706. Another record of 1706 empowered Zachary Lewis to appear at Essex Co, Court House to relinquish in the said 150 acres, that my husband sold to John Shackelford, and you will oblige your loving sister. Signed Sarah Shackelford.

This shows that there were two men old enough to be dealing in land as early as 1706. But they owned land much earlier than this. They were probably brothers.

Francis Shackelford owned land in Bath County, N. C. (Bath Co, created 1712-13.) and later it was Carteret Co. His name appears on several land deeds from 1712 to 1726, at which time he is mentioned as deceased. John was also here at that time. At the same time and in the same community one John Shackelford lived also. This John was in

--3 (51)--

Carteret Co, N. C., as early as 1713, and owned a property known as "Shackelford Banks". His will dated 1734, mentions wife Ann, sons John and James, Mary, Sarah, Hannah, Ann and Elizabeth.

This John under discussion here is said to have married a Miss Livingston, of South Carolina. The Miss Muscoe that married John Livingston, was of Essex Co, Va. The above mentioned men, Francis and John were of Essex Co, and both later moved to Carteret County, N. C., and their descendants later moving on to South Carolina. So it is the opinion of the Editor that here we have the sons Francis and John, of the immigrant Roger.

Now then let us discuss the John who married Anne Lyne, daughter of John Lyne.

This John was born about 1700, and married Anne, daughter of John Lyne, of King William Co, Va., and a sister of George Lyne, member of the House of Burgesses. Who was he?

James Shackelford, son of Roger, the immigrant, married Elizabeth Robbins, daughter of Christopher Robbins, in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester County, Va, July 14, 1687. James and Elizabeth had the following children: James, James, Mary, Roger, Charles, Robert, John, Jane, Diana and Richard. Probably others. (It will be noted here that the first two were named James, so probably the first one died before the birth of the second.)

This John, son of James and Elizabeth, was born about 1700. And the John who married Anne Lyne was born about 1700. And John and Anne lived in King and Queen Co, which adjoins Gloucester, where Roger the immigrant, lived, and where James and Elizabeth lived also.

James Shackelford, son of the immigrant, died before 1734, and his widow Elizabeth, with her elder son James and other children moved to Spottsylvania Co., but it is not known if the son John went with them. John would have then been about 34 years of age, and most likely was already married and living in Gloucester County, or had moved over

--4 (52)--

into King and Queen.

Now this John, according to the Hord genealogy, by Rev Arnold Harris Hord, is the same John who married Anne. They had the following children: James B., Lyne, Benjamin, Samuel, John, Richard, Zachariah, and William; and perhaps a George.

The above lineage is contained in a manuscript pedigree left by the late Dr John Shackelford, born 1800, of Maysville, Ky., and genealogical notes furnished by the late Mr Joel Shackelford, of Denver, Colorado.

So here we have the two Johns, John, son of the immigrant, having moved to North Carolina, and the son of James being the one who married Anne Lyne.

If any one has authentic proof that this is in error, the Editor will be happy to have it, and will be equally as happy to make the necessary correction.
