Dr. Shaunty’s ancestors on his father’s side were Germans, his grandfather, Henry Shaunty, immigrating to America in 1775. He settled in Virginia, and at the breaking out of the Revolutionary war enlisted in the American Army, with which he served seven years. He came to Kentucky in 1800, or perhaps a little earlier, and settled in the northwestern part of Washington County, where his death occurred about the year 1825. Subject’s father, Joseph Shaunty, was born in Virginia, in 1789; was brought to Kentucky when a small boy, and spent the remainder of his life in Washington County, dying near Fredericktown in 1867. His wife, Sallie (Hays) Shaunty, was a daughter of William and Eleanor (Burchman) Hays (see sketch of D. R. Hays). She was born in April, 1807, and died December 11, 1874. Mr. and Mrs. Shaunty were parents of ten children, the following of whom are now living: John, C. H., Mrs. Marietta Croake and William Shaunty. Dr. Shaunty spent his young and early manhood on a farm near Fredericktown, and obtained a good education in the country and village schools, which he attended until twenty-two years of age. He commenced reading medicine in 1859 with Dr. J. B. Mudd at Fredericktown, with whom he remained three years; entered the medical university at Louisville in 1860, remaining one session, and in 1862 commenced the practice of his profession at Manton Village, Washington County, where he continued one year; returned to the university in 1863, graduated from the same in April, 1864, and immediately thereafter engaged in the practice at Fredericktown, his present place of residence. The Doctor has won an enviable reputation as a physician and surgeon, and at the present time has a large and lucrative practice in Washington and Nelson Counties. He was married June 21, 1864, to Miss Sallie Norris, daughter of Ignatius and Drusilla (Elliott) Norris, of Washington County. The children born to this marriage are ten in number, namely: Mary (deceased), George, Ella, James, Norris (deceased), Daisy, Katie, John, Paul and Cleveland.
