Melissa,
I've been doing some unusual "fishing" and came up with Anges Shields, age 80 born TN living with a Stann family in Putnam Co., IN 1850 census.Would she have been your Agnes (Creswell) Shields?What was her relationship to the Stanns?Researchers show your Agnes as born in VA but records can vary.
Do you know where William Shields or James M. Shields are buried in Putnam Co., IN?Did your William Shields die in Putnam Co., IN but his will was probated in Owen Co., IN?
William Shields obtained a land patent in Putnam Co. in 1831, next to land patents obtained by George W. Sherrill, James Hammack, Joseph Allee, John Hammond, John Haddan, and others.I am working on Sherrills.
Records of the Sherrills were in the Washington Co. and Carter Co., TN and Burke Co., NC.Some researchers show your William Shields as married in Jefferson Co., TN.You show Jefferson Co., VA. Do you have your Shields in TN and might you know of any connection to Sherrills?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Jay G. Lamb
