Hi! My SHIPMANs are through my grandfather, John Wesley SHIPMAN, (1870-1949) and his father, Dan'l SHIPMAN, bn. 1832 TN. My ancestors who lived near the Trail of Tears would not however be specifically through the SHIPMAN family, other than through my grandmother, Laura (SHIPMAN) STRINGER and her mom, Sarah HALEY. I know where Laura's mom's sister (Rhoda Francis HALEY) lived in Newton County, and am trying to determine how close the Trail of Tears came to her property. In other words, I am trying to make some geographic/topographic connections on a map to the Trail of Tears newly registered property in Lawrence County (mentioned in my previous post). cora miller <coram@cableone.net> wrote: who are your shipmans ? cora miller blind i Oklahoma ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deb Rowe" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 11:30 AM Subject: [MOLAWREN] Trail of Tears > Hello, > > I have a question that is more of historic nature than relating to a > specific surname.

I asked as I am looking for information on my ggrandmother Louisa Curry ,however she was married before she married grand pa Curry. I have a possible through Louisa that swears her first husband was a SHIPMAN possibly Samson was first name. well I am n ot able to find any marriage for her and ShIPMAn in either Lawrence or newton counties. I also looked in Arkansas. I really do not think her name was SHIpMAN as her marriage record to Curry stated her name to be "Mrrs. Louisa ShIPLEY" however my cousin says this is wrong because she could not read or write. Surely she knew what her name was. The marriage to SHIPLEYor SHIPman would have been prior to 1880 She had several children before 1881 when she married in Dec. to Curry. thanks cora Miller ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deb Rowe" <kcwordweaver@yahoo.com> To: <molawren@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 11:56 AM Subject: Re: [MOLAWREN] Trail of Tears > Hi! > > My SHIPMANs are through my grandfather, John Wesley SHIPMAN, (1870-1949) > and his father, Dan'l SHIPMAN, bn. 1832 TN. > > My ancestors who lived near the Trail of Tears would not however be > specifically through the SHIPMAN family, other than through my > grandmother, Laura (SHIPMAN) STRINGER and her mom, Sarah HALEY.
