Joel Shields and Katie Montgomery
I am looking for information on my sister's family.Her father was Burr Ruedell Shields (1920-1953).His father was Asher B. Shields (1 Jan 1895-25 Apr 1952). He lived in Fairfield KY when he married Ancy Lee Jackson m. 17 March 1919 in Clark Co, IN.(she lived 1902-1984).Asher's family lived in Fern Creek KY. at the time of their marriage. I believe it said that Ancy's family lived in Spencer county. (Will have to check my facts on that one)
Asher B's father was listed as Joel Shields and mother Katie Montgomery on the marriage certificate.My mother had Bill Shields and Zoy written in my sister's baby book.Don't know if that was their other names or those are two different people.
My sister passed away last week.She was only 57 years old.You can see that it ran in the family to die young, on the Shield's side. I was trying to find her family history before she died, but had no luck, now I am even more determined to find out in her memory and for her children.
Hope someone out there knows something about this family.
