Friendship Baptist Church, SC, Jethro O'Shields and his son John O'Shields JR
From the records of Friendship Baptist Church, Pauline, SC:
In churhc conferance Saturday before the first Lord's day in August 1839...
Bro.James B Wofford is grieved with Bro.Jethro O'Shields for encouraging John O'Shields to strike him with a stick.Bro.Mark Bennett is grieved with Bro.
Jethro Oshields for makeing an attempt to strike him with a stone during the difficulty...
NOTE:
My research has identified the above John Oshields to be the one known as John Oshields JR who was the son of Jethro Oshields.The congregation was meeting at the house of Jethro O'Shields when the altercation occurred as the meeting was to begin or beginning.
John O'Shield JR was differentiated as JR to discern him from his uncle John O'Shields, a Revolutionary War soldier who lived in the neighborhood.John O'Shields JR was also known as John O'Sheal JR and he was the husband of Charlotte Harrison, daughter of Tyrie Harrison and Elizabeth Osheals alias Wooten, who was the daughter of Teresa Osheal or Oshields.
John Osheal JR and his wife Charlotte Harrison were first cousins, once removed to one another.
I descend from Elizabeth Osheal Hewitt, wife of Rev James Hewitt, who was the daughter of Jethro Osheal or Oshields.
