GGGgrandfather was from Ireland Son was James A. Shahan
Hi, I am looking for information about my GGgrandfather and mother or either parents. My GGgrandfathers name was James Alexander (Alex) Shahan he was born about 1880. He married Mary Ova Lee Peek (Peak) She was born about 1883. I found them on the 1910 Overton Tennessee censes according to the census his father was born in Ireland and his mother in Tennessee both of his wife's parents were born in Tennessee. They had four children, Clarence Wheeler which died July 13, 1907. Claude born about 1903 Robert Howard born in 1908 and Carson born about 1911. After James died Mary married John Reeder about 1922 or 1923 They had a daughter named Mattie Bell. I know my grandmother had sisters one named something like Olie (nickname)? and one named Dee and another sister we are not sure of her name. There was another family memeber Penina Peek who married Robert Boles on November 29,1885 by Rev W H Carr. I think there also may be member of this family in Cookeville Tennessee.
