Also in Ray County, Mo., in 1838, was one Daniel Shackelford, whose wife was Tabitha. This Daniel Shackelford married Tabitha Nance, in Henry County Virginia, October 29th, 1798. And he was a son of Henry and Mary Shackelford, who died in Henry Co, Va., 1806. Henry and Mary Shackelford, of Henry Co, Va., had the following children: Susannah, John, William, James, Daniel, Samuel and Henry. We are not certain that the above is the order of birth, but those were the daughter and sons of Henry.
Now since the son of Daniel was in Ray County, Mo., 1838, we would like to know if the John, whom we are now discussing, was of the same branch of the family? He was not a son of Daniel unless Daniel was married a second time. Daniel was married 1798, and this John was born 1795.
But Daniel had a brother John who died in Henry County, Va., 1815., and he had a son John. Query? Could the John in Ray County, Mo., be the son of John, of Henry County, Va? Should any one be able to confirm this one way or another we will be forever grateful.

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.

WILL OF HENRY SHACKELFORD
I, Henry Shackelford, of Henry County, being weak in body, but well and sound and of perfect memory, thanks to Almighty God; calling to remembrance the frailty and uncertainty of human life, have made this my last Will and Testament in manner following:
I give and commit my soul unto the hands of my merciful Creator, hoping for redemption of my sins through the merits of my blessed Redeemer -- Jesus Christ. My body I leave to be buried at the discretion of my executor hereafter named.
Imprimis: After my just debts are honestly paid I lend to my dear and loving wife - Mary Shackelford, during her life or widowhood, all my land and plantation I now live on, with all my household and kitchen furniture, with all my stock of horses, cattle, and hogs, with three negroes, namely -- Rose, James, and Sal, that I am now possessed with.
Imprimis: I give unto Susannah Jacobs, ten pounds cash, one cow and calf; and it is my will that she should have the first colt my mare has. To her and her heirs forever.
Imprimis: I leave to my son Henry's children, one hundred pounds cash, and after my wife's decease, they are to have the balance of their part in money when my land is sold; to them and their heirs forever. I leave to my son -- Henry Shackelford, five shillings sterling. But in case my son Henry Shackleford, wantes the children's money, or any part thereof, it is my desire that he may give security to get the money forthcoming to his children:
I leave my wife's part to be equally divided amongst my four sons and my son Samuel's children -- namely John Shackelford, James Shackelford, William Shackelford and Daniel Shackelford; to them and their heirs forever. What other estate I am possessed of and not yet willed away, I leave to be equally divided amongst my four sons, namely - John, William, James, and Daniel; and my son Samuel's children, after deducting twenty pounds cash for my son John; also fifteen pounds for my son Samuel's children, except they should bring suit for a lend of forty pounds I gave to my son Samuel; but in case they should bring suit against that lend of forty pounds --------- to be void and come out of their part to pay cost and interest of said lend.
The negroes my son Samuel's children is to have, I leave to be hired out at a private sale by my executors, the hire of said negroes to go to the children yearly while the youngest comes of age; to them and their heirs forever. It is also my desire that the negroes may be lotted out as equally as possible; also my desire is, that Jack and Charlotte may not be parted, and the women to keep their little children. Also my son Daniel's negroes, if they are used ill, it is my desire that my executors my take the negroes and hire them out at a private sale, and the hire to go to my son Daniel. Also my desire is that Rose, James, and Sal, after my wife's decease, should be appraised and the money equally divided amongst all my surviving children, except my son Henry Shackelford.
Lastly: I nominate and appoint my son John Shackleford, executor to this my last Will and Testament; and as trustee to see this Will executed.
Hereby revoking and disannuling all former wills by me made, and declaring this to be my last Will and Testament.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this Thirty First day of October, one thousand eight hundred and five (Oct. 31, 1805).

Signed -- Henry X (his mark) Shackelford.
