I am searching for ancestors and/or siblings of JOHN CHUMLEA, b. 29 Feb 1781 VA, d. 31 May, 1861 Fountain Co., IN; m. Margaret SHIPE, b. 29 May 1785, d. 24 June 1866 Fountain Co., IN. I don't know where they met or were married. Margaret was the daughter of Peter SHIPE and Elizabeth WALKER (Welker). There is a TN Historical Marker (in Knox Co., TN) which states, "PETER SHIPE Born in 1738, he lived near Natural Bridge, VA, until enlisting in the Revolutionary Army. He served later as baggagemaster for Gen. George Washington. Following his service, he came here and occupied the grant made to him. He died in 1823 and is buried on the land he once owned." John and Margaret CHUMLEA had 10 children born between 1802 and 1824 in Knox Co., TN (probably). They moved to Fountain Co, IN, with some of these children prior to 1840, probably around 1836. If anyone can shed any light on the parents and/or siblings of John (b. 1781), it will be greatly appreciated. Mary Ann Ward maward@mindspring.com
