Notes:

William Shackelford, son of Henry, Sr., and his wife, Mary, was born in King William County, Va., in
1759. He was a Revolutionary war soldier, and according to his own statements in his pension petition, he went from King William County to Caroline, from Caroline to Powhatan, and from there to Montgomery
County, and still later to Henry County.

He was married twice, but the identity of either of his wives is not known, but one of them was named
Tabitha and the other one was Mary, as we see by the following records:

Tabitha Shackelford, wife of William, relinquished her right of dower in a tract of land, July 1806, Order
Book 8, page 89.

William Shackelford and his wife, Mary, sold land to Joseph Martin, December 16, 1807. The land and
both men of Henry County. Deed Book 7, page 122.

This had to be William, Sr., as William, Jr. was born 1801, so he would have been but five and six -
correction --five or six years of age.

We do not know how many children William Shackelford had, but we find mention of the following:
William Shackelford, for love and affection for his daughter Harriet, deeded her a slave, October 24, 1834. Deed Book 11, page 466.

William Shackelford, Sr., for love and affection for his son William Shackelford, Jr., deeded a slave to him, April 18, 1837. Deed Book 12, page 225.

And from the marriage and other records we find that William Shackelford had no less than seven children, and since Tabitha appears to have been his first wife, she was probably mother of most, if not all, of them. They were as follows:

George William---------------(married first ??

(married second, Sophia Lamkin)

Harriet-----------------------(maried Duke Price)

Jane--------------------------(married ??

Lucy-------------------------(married James B. Toney)

Elizabeth---------------------(married Gabriel Stultz)

Sally------------------------- (married James Glass)

Mary-------------------------(married Drewry Pulliam)

We are of the opinion that there were others but these are all that we have the names of. And we do not
have their order of birth. But it would appear that Harriet was the youngest, as she never married until
1837. Duke Price and Harriet M. Shackelford were married--marriage bond dated December 11, 1837. And that is all the information we have of her family.

William married Tabitha ??? about 1790. Tabitha was born about 1770; died in Deceased. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

SHACKELFORD CLAN MAGAZINE
June 1955 Vol. 11. No. 2
Thus we find the children of Samuel and John, sons of Henry Shackelford, Sr., and his wife Mary, and perhaps those of the son Henry, Jr. But Henry, Sr. had three other sons and perhaps a daughter, ie Susannah Jacobs, James, William and Daniel.
The son Daniel married Tabitha Nance in 1798, and later moved to Platte County, Mo. Miss Henrietta Shackelford states that her grandfather John had three uncles that moved to Kentucky about the same time that John moved to Missouri. And as we know that John, Samuel and William all died in Virginia, then the three uncles would have to be Daniel, James and Henry. And as we have already pointed out, we feel certain that Henry Shackelford, who married Nancy Crump in Knox County, Ky., and later went to Harlan County, was a son of Henry, Sr., of Henry County, Va. Daniel later went to Platte County, Missouri. But where did James go? and who were his descendants?
Henry Shackelford, by his own statement, was born in King William County, Virginia, August 30, 1764. He died in Harlan County, Ky., May 17, 1842. He was married to Nancy Crump in Knox County, Ky., April 1, 1803 or 1801. (Our records show both dates, and we are not cerrtain which is correct) Nancy Crump, by her own statement in her pension petition, was born about 1780, in Tennessee. And she says she and Henry had six children.
