Samuel Shadowns, age 54, wife Ciller, age 51, children Ann, age 13, and William, age 11. They are listed in District #2. 2. In District #1-519 is another Samuel Shadowen, age 55. wife Nancy, age 50, children Reuben, age 18, Miles, age 15, Jane, age 14, Sally, age 12, Hamilton, age 11, John, age 8, James, age 7, Juda, age 5, and Luisa, age 3. 3. In District #1-518 is John Shadowen, age 30, wife Polly, age 28, children Samuel, age 7, George, age 6, Lewis, age 5, Nancy, age 3, and James, age 1. The Samuel I am tracing is Number !, Samuel Shadowens, AKA Samuel O Chaudoin, s/o Andrew M and Sarah Matthews Wheeler Moore Chaudoin. Andrew M was apparently the first of the Chaudoin to move to KY, settling in Green County about 1795. The son, Samuel O, born about 1796 married Prrescilla (Ciller) Chandler about 1818 in Washington County, KY. They lived several places in addition to Whitley County, including Indiana in their first married years. I am trying to connect to them, who I believe is their daughter, Emmaliza, born about 1828 in Whitley County. Emmaliza married Bennett Powers 1849 in Campbell County, TN, they subsequently moved to Lincoln County, KY. I have no idea who the Number 2 Samuel is, or the branch of the family he may connect to. No. 3, John may be his son? Appreciate any comment or suggestion. Gene Martin
